Can you feel it? Are you participating in the massive transfer of wealth going on right now? I'm surprised by it every day, even though I've been talking about it since the beginning of 2013.
Centralized currencies controlled by violent, immoral authoritarians can't survive against open-source, decentralized, cryptographically-secure ledgers with provable and auditable characteristics. Programmable money leads to distributed, autonomous corporations where every participant is a customer, employee, and owner. The potential for human well-being exponentially increases. Automation, general artificial intelligence, gene editing, and so much more change how we value "work."
Cryptocurrency changes how we value "stores of value."
Blockchains and directed acyclic graph technology bring about non-violent, global consensus. Cooperation through networks instead of powerfully-controlled hierarchies give everyone equal access to participate, contribute, and prosper.
Money flows from the banksters, international crooks, and violent thieves to the technologists, early-adopters, and visionaries who imagine a better world and put in the work to create it.
The powerful, peaceful revolution has begun.
I hope you join us.

I have rarely read a piece of writing, anywhere, that has delivered such optimism.
Were I a devout follower of Warren Buffet, I'd sell every scrap of crypto I could get my hands on LOL.
I happen to think you're absolutely correct, and that, in this case, the optimism isn't irrational exuberance. Unlike the equities markets, the rise in value of the cryptocurrencies is based on potential that isn't being raped by Fedophiles.
Fiat currencies are doomed. Particularly the dollar. Inflation is theft, and BTC, like metals (were they unmanipulated in price) retain their full value - except as intended to inflate for growth purposes (like Steem).
The myriad savings in time (which is not only money, but life itself), and treasure potential to cryptocurrencies is enormously valuable, at multiples that make equities look like buying fake portraits by old masters.
There are Muni's being sold now at 2% for one hundred years. Fiat based markets are simply uncompetitive.

@lukestokes its great to read posts like yours. In this case I found what I was looking for a long time. A series of posts about Bitshares that would explain a lot of experience. Just what you have done.
We are living the crypto revolution, and as @stan mentioned and you just pointed out again, the biggest transfer of wealth is taking place.
Thanks for sharing this very important important information to the steemit community. I am sure minnows, new members, visitors to the platform will learn a lot about Bitshares, which is the great decentralized exchange. I will take the needed time to read each of the posts.
By the way, I just upvoted you as a witness. I do not know why it does not appear on Steemd.com . Does it take some time? I went to the link you provided above, and upvoted, however, not sure if I did it correct.

actually it's NOT transfer.
it's new wealth being created and we're all getting some
there's no way that we can't.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
That was my first thought too.
However, as, and if, crypto continues to grow and replace the fiat system, wealth transfer will become more a feature, as crypto is used to purchase goods, the value of fiat will decrease.
While not being directly transferred to crypto, the value it stores will be indirectly transferred to crypto, as goods are denominated and preferentially bought and sold with it.
So there is some indirect transfer ongoing, in addition to new wealth being created, and as the crypto market grows, this indirect transfer will grow as well.

If emotions are regulating your investment decisions, I recommend you not proceed. Investments are by definition calculated risks, not something you should do because you feel an emotion.
Give investing a lot of thought, and consider why you are interested in it. Unless you decide that you can plunk down your hard-earned money for good reasons, not because you're afraid of missing the boat, or of losing money, then it's probably wise to listen to your gut, and invest elsewhere, or spend your money on something else, that makes actual sense.
I'm not trying to tell you to invest in a given vehicle or not (I don't even know what ADA is. The American Dental Association?), rather I'm suggesting you know why you do invest in anything, and that includes particularly knowing yourself, and why you want to invest at all.
I hope that, whatever you do, you achieve your goals with great success!

Truckers: automated via AI and robotics.
Farming: same thing with vertical hydroponic farms.
Retail Sales: Is that still a thing? If so... why? We'll buy more things via augmented reality and virtual reality, probably delivered right to our doorstep via drones. Turn those waste-of-space malls and retail centers into parks for kids or solar panel energy stations or something better than alters to consumerism.
"...makes the economy work"
Much of the economy, I think, is completely wasteful. People go to work for 8 hours a day but don't actually do much productive work. This move to actual stores of value that work will accelerate the adoption of AI and robotics because the people will have enough money to pay for the advancements in science and technology research to make it happen.

I see what you mean, and still I like how they set this up. Trust is always an issue. Remember MtGox? Or the more recent hacks of exchanges? CloudCoin has 25 'nodes' controlled by 25 different people, with none of them having any power to change anything. They're clearly serious about building it out further. I like to give them the benefit of doubt and see how they'll address the issues they will face. Trust is one of them.
We all know that the banks we trusted in the past have betrayed everyone with their power of creating money out of nothing. That's why we see all these crypto currencies now. Let's see where it goes. This peaceful revolution has ever more ways. I think that's great. Let the cryptos compete! :-)

Yes, it does take money to make money, but I also think the gatekeepers to that process are being actively removed in terms of their ability to control things. With a decentralized, open-access, network approach, anyone who can provide value can be directly rewarded. That's powerful.

I like what you write about the peaceful revolution and the transfer of wealth. Actually I woke up early this morning with similar thoughts in my head and was so excited, that I got up 2 hours early!
At the same time I'm getting worried, that the "establishment" won't just go along. A friend of mine is convinced, "they" will control the major "intersections" of the internet and shut down crypto currencies. God forbid, someone starts a war to keep power and control...

There are many possible outcomes. Thankfully, those who are now the new "cryptocurrency rich" will have resources to fight back. Just yesterday I bought some Substratum as a possible solution for Net Neutrality concerns, as an example.

Of course nobody knows, what the future really holds, but I'm glad, that a lot of the younger generation have a great vision and a strong desire to make this world a better place. Hope you are right, with what you say about the resources to fight back...
This could all mean a change of human civilization on a level, never seen before. I just hope ( more for our kids than myself) that these changes will happen without disasters of equal proportion.
I like your positive attitude. Going to check Substratum now :-)

Another really great post @lukestokes. I bought my first bitcoin 5 or 6 months ago, when nobody wanted to know. Now the exchanges are totally backed up on opening new accounts. Backlog is sometimes 4 weeks to approve a 24 hour DD passport and proof of address. I know people who missed gains of 100% so far and still waiting to be approved by the exchange.

These are insightful words, money is finally coming out of the vortex now.
For the first time in many centuries money is being directed at the more spiritually conscious. It is up the them to prove that they can spend it wisely, with presence and attention. We don't want to just change the accents of the rich, we want to create a world were money is not so unhealthily craved because we all trust that more will flow and we can concentrate on more energetic work: fully seeing each other behind the current identites of what our job is and hopefully being able to spend more time inside our quiet minds. Which is a place where violent destruction is almost impossible.
A world where 'career' is a less and less meaningful word every day, because we all know that the world is constantly changing and have come to peace with that.
All the best to you and all of us on this cryptojourney.

2 days ago Mike and I drew a line. Especially when found out that Facebook made almost 5 Billion just in Q3. With what? Other people's content, selling user data, providing a platform for paid propaganda.
We're working an a slow exit from Facebook and this is what I posted to my friends there:
As a content creator, I have lost almost all interest in Facebook. Mike and I have spent years uploading photos and videos, producing mountains of original content... and yet who benefits? Only Facebook. They've repaid all our effort by keeping all the profits. And recently, we can't even depend upon them to show updates to our followers. Instead, they keep bugging us to pay money to boost our posts.
It's the final straw. Why should we pay to show our content to the people who have chosen to follow us? So that Facebook can guarantee a bigger profit for its shareholders?!
That's why discovering the existence of social platforms based on the blockchain has been so exciting. The general idea is that all revenues go to both the people sharing content, and the people doing the sharing. It's actually social, and rewards the people who make the network grow, both actively and passively.
For now, I've signed up for two, which seem to be the main ones:
Sola: https://sola.ai/for_91_days
One of the best social apps I've used in a long time. It's a mix between Twitter, Instagram and Tinder. It's easy to use and you're prevented from oversharing by the concept of Activity Points, of which you only get a set amount per day. It makes you think twice before posting, commenting or liking.
Steemit: https://steemit.com/@for91days
A more established platform. The community is much more strict, so it's not easy to break through. But for starting a blog or start your own community it's a great and powerful platform.
Please check out our new social networking profiles! We haven't been this excited about social networking for years, and really believe this could be the wave of the future. If you have any kind of question, feel free to ask. Hope to see you there!
......
I've seen some people sign up which is wonderful but many will not and stand on it while the giant ship is slowly sinking.
