This is a deep thought post. Take an assessment of your brain. Re-consider your thoughts. Take a minute!!
I already know, this post is only going to reach the bare few "thinkers" on steemit.
I don't really mean to discount the amount of smart people we have on steemit.. but you have to realize... people are title/description/subject "clicky" based, and this type of topic isn't click worthy.
...but for those of you who follow my blogs.. and want to read something meaningful.. and that's why you continue to be interested in what I post.. this post is for you.
Let's get some basics out of the way...
AT BEST, you can be informed as much as you can, about what is happening around you. Be it weather, government, politics, TV, the latest trends, or what cryptocurrency is doing.
AT BEST, you can make informed decisions on what you can do today, or what you are planning to do tomorrow.
AT BEST, as you grow older, wiser, and spend more time on this earth, you feel today you are more knowledgeable and smart enough to handle whatever is coming next.
....that's good. You're trying... you need to keep doing that for the sole reason... that's all you really can do
...but then someone like me, comes in, and disrupts that... and says... NOW it is a time to stop thinking habitually and naturally and let's go outside of the box for a moment.
READY?
What if "the hydro/electricity went off for the next 6 months?"... how would you cope?
What if your computer blew up in a cloud of smoke and everything you had on your hard drive went with it?
What if martians landed on earth and self declared themselves as the new president of the United States?
...chances happening are 1 in 0.0000000000000000005% - so why worry about it.
DON'T
Ok, so what is the point of this exercise then?
You are about to find out. If you read this far. You are 1 in 100 that did. You're special for doing so. You're the type of person that likes new ways of thinking, and you are not afraid to take your brain to places it has never gone before.
Glad you are still with me...
I'm going to tell you some things that you suspected where going to happen, and they will happen. You already knew it might eventually happen, but it makes it more real when you hear someone else says it.
The world is in turmoil right now -- ya, I knew that...
Cryptocurrency is in turmoil right now - ya I knew that too..
The last 10 years of my life will probably not look anything like the next 10 years of my life... -- ya, ok sure
Knowing these things, what can we realize?
.
.
Everything you know today, and what you think may happen tomorrow, considering in the next 10 years it is all going to change and look different.... be ready for that.
What does that mean?
Ok, enough of the semantics. Let me explain.
You can inflate a balloon, or blow a bubble gum bubble larger and larger until eventually everyone waits for it to bust.
The "bust" or "pop" explosion is coming.
So what you are saying is cryptocurrency is a bubble?
- NO I AM NOT - Stop thinking and listen
The entire world is in turmoil, and the entire world is in an inflated bubble. If you know what scaleable means... the world is NOT scaleable in the current state that it is in..
...that includes environment, politics, economy, laws, society, etc.
It doesn't scale. Not at these rates.
So what you're going to find, bitcoin and cryptocurrency aside, is that in the next 10 years, the way you've lived the last 10 years is going to be completely different.
You're going to have to be ready for it, and ready to adapt.
This is where the @intelliguy open mind comes into play, and it helps me everytime. "Everything is possible"
....now here is where you can use this to your benefit.
Everything you thought you knew... and everything you were waiting to expect to happen in the future... may not, and probably will not even come close to what you planned for...
....BUT! If you are prepared to accept all of it, and go with the flow, and adapt, you're going to do well.
Most won't. As I mentioned, if you are 1 out of 100 people that will see this blog post and took the time to read it, and that is why I wrote it. You're special. You don't miss things. You are keen for knowledge and upgrading who you are and how you are going to handle things.
It is people just like you I write for.... people who want to expand their minds.... people who want to expand how they think about the world. People who are ready for everything the world is about to bring.
I don't know why I started writing this tonight, but I had to share it. Maybe only one person will appreciate it, maybe many.
The one thing I know, is this not the typical stuff you'll see on TV, CNN, the local newspapers, or traditional media. Here I have a voice on steemit, and nowhere else would I have that opportunity the same way.
I treasure what steemit offers me.. and I treasure my followers.
Your comments below are very much appreciated too. :)
Well said. We must be prepared for what the future holds for us. What I like most about Steemit is that it is a learning platform, you are constantly learning new things.

For sure we are at or near the economic peak.
Time to prepare for the downcycle. At the lowest point, when everything seems so dire, it will be the best time to invest for the upcycle.
:D

You're right about the downcycle. Which feels strange considering everyone feels we are already on a downcycle. It can and might get worse. Maybe not (we can only hope).
By the way, I notice you are voting for 14 witnesses out of 30. I'm running a witness node called intelliwitness -- not top 50, would you consider voting for it?

If so, I'd be very appreciative...

Hello @intelliguy.
I always like to check out people mentioned in posts that strike a cord in my heart of hearts. One such post was written by @hitmeasap and he mentioned you. I came over to check you out and I must say, I'm not disappointed at all. If there's one thing the world needs, it's deep thinkers with the ability to think beyond the norm. I appreciate your school of thought. It's very important for one to be ready to adapt. An open mind I'll definitely keep. Thanks for helping us assess our brains and reconsider our thoughts 😉
You've got a new follower 😊🙌
