Change is not easy, especially when it comes to how the mind works, where patterns and habits are effortless, and breaking them is exceptionally challenging, requiring time, dedication and discipline.
It will take more than changing the money system to change the world. Any 'new' movement, such as a digital money system, is still coming from the same minds, the same history, the same human nature that has re-created the same fuck-up in this world for hundreds of years.
All signs are pointing to us fucking it up again, that is what the evidence of our past is showing, and that is what we show ourselves every day as we continue to repeat the same patterns and cycles in our own lives.
If, on an individual level, we can actually dedicate ourselves to change, actually walk the process of breaking our habits and patterns, breaking away from our past by seeing the ways our memories and past experiences are still haunting and controlling us - then we will understand what it will take to change the world for real. Only then will we be able to support others, because we will have walked it in detail ourselves.
So how are we going to change the world? Step one: Change Yourself. If you don't, all the other steps will be doomed to repeating the same failures.
In this video, I talk about how it feels to change. It is not a beautiful, graceful thing... it disrupts your life, your world and the people in it. Watch my video where I explain why self-change is more disruptive than alternative currencies. Once we have changed, maybe then we can really look at the role cryptos will play. But until then, we are trapped in our own selves and own minds.
If we invest the energy we use to watch, analyze, criticise and try to control our surroundings into actually controlling what we think say and do, the world changes.
We quietly accept whatever our ego does, while trying to control what is outside of us, when in fact it should be the opposite: control ourselves, thoughts, words, actions and accept what others do unless they initiate force.

Thank you. It was a long path for me to understand this, and it is ongoing.
But in fact it is just common sense. One question can make us realize: 'What is the only factor you control in every situation?' The obvious answer is: Ourselves. Our actions AND reactions. So why bother trying to control the behavior of others?
Makes no sense at all, and as most things that make no sense, the motivation behind it is fear...
