I Don't Know, but These Are My Thoughts

I must preface the below with that I'm absolutely not an expert of technology or the like, well... of anything I suppose.  However, What I am,  is just a "normal" man, that constantly realizes his perspective and how things connect. 

The last few days have been like riding on a supersonic carpet ride with the amount of information consumed and action taken in such a short period of perceived time.

I should give a quick rundown to invite you to the same plane of thought since Thursday night:

• I've only been with Facebook & Youtube for just over a year, so was skimming to learn more about internet & social media marketing to implement into my business. I came across this, at first glance, perhaps a peculiar looking guy that was just vividly animated right in my face teaching a myriad of courses. This guy was allllll over the place AND he hit my thirst for learning right on the chin. Watched classes about FB marketing, Youtube, then cryptocurrency. Big thanks to @jerrybanfield
• By Saturday night, the wallets and trading platforms were setup and was ready to dive in with $20, initially. The brain and adrenaline were grinding at this point, as all the new information blocks learned were connecting into a larger picture.
• Sunday afternoon,  coin purchases were made with sell orders in place, as the proverbial toes lightly tested the waters.  Then came Steemit through STEEM.  I had to give the excitement ( it very well could have been desperation because the other social platforms have given me such a headache for over a year, as I've attempted to catch up to most of modern society) a reality check and put it aside momentarily. 

The whole time all this effort was being made, I was filled with content exuberances. To be fair, much study was also happening of the possible positives AND negatives. After a satisfactory balance in mind, I put more energy into thinking universally.

1. A "decentralized" social media platform that in thought and theory could change everything. I'm not a fanatic person to run around naively screaming world peace and the like, nor do I carry enough pessimism to not believe anything is possible. At the very least, what harm is there in connecting with others and sharing knowledge without constant ad mental noise, plus getting PAID?!
2. A cryptocurrency tied system - wow, what the hell kind of superfoods do these people eat to help all of this to happen at all and in such a relatively short time? Amazing!....umm they could be right on with this, so why shouldn't I give faith in crypto monetary systems, opposed to the USD or any other currency? It's all fiat, backed by mountains of debt. To a normal person, what is it really? It's paper or some kind of coinage, perhaps a precious metal or even a binary number in a checking account. Regardless of what form and how much anyone has, it's really just only part of this earthly world. No money can bring true happiness and contentment. This is where Steemit shines. People put energy into creating their own individual output. Just as in life with a job or career, the financial reward is just the byproduct of effort. The effect, if you will.
3. Cryptocurrency trading - I can see that it would become boring after awhile. How much can anyone look at a screen of numbers, regardless if you struck it "rich"? Some would say, "I can always watch and chase money!" Really? What a waste of possibility.

Then, it all became more clear

What if?  Participants are in a way, sharing the closest thing to a collective consciousness that's possible at this time. Yes, I realize that the internet and everything up to this point connects people like no time before, but this current path will unite more people on a deeper understanding of themselves and others.  Some of the purest content will come to fruition,  not only because of the financial possibilities, but more so from personal satisfaction. STEEM happens from within each of us. 

Is it crazy to think that hypothetically, people can spend their lives being themselves and being financially comfortable enough to bypass the daily slugging into a job or profession that they don't really care to do just to survive the daily grind? No matter what, it's important to not become a slave to technology, so where's the balance?

Think of it.....we are bioelectric energy, a body & soul.  The brain produces thoughts from wherever, we input with a keyboard, voice and even facial movements and it's transmitted throughout the world. With blockchain technology, we are in essence, recording mankind's progress indefinitely and more, meanwhile we all as people are on this earth, whizzing through the universe at the exact same time together.

These thoughts are not new to many people, yet someone may benefit and that's enough for me.

I really wish was able to continue the thoughts, as I was just getting started, but it's well past time to sleep.
