STEEM Is Leading The Way Into The Age Of Abundance: Steemians Should Take Advantage

Cryptocurrency is going to change the world and uplift humanity. This is all part of a progression that is taking place on many levels which that will end the slavery and tyranny we see around the world. While this is not an overnight process, people who are awakened to this fact are able to take advantage of the opportunity.

Anyone who talked to another about cryptocurrency was most likely met with resistance. People buy into the FUD choosing to believe the message passed around by those who are enslaving them. The world we live in is primal, harsh, and unnatural. Yet it is a phase the world needed to go through.

Part of my realization that the Age of Abundance is upon us is through the study of different philosophies or disciplines that discuss this. The Mayans are the most well known. These were the original astronomers who were guided by the stars. They knew things about our galaxy that we are only now discovering

The same is true of the Yugas. Those ages come from the Vedic tradition which talks about the ascension and descension of humanity.

What we are really referring to here is cycles. Just like there are seasons of the year which are predictable based upon the calendar, so too are longer time periods. For those living in the northern areas, you know that if the calendar says December, it is unlikely that you will have 85 degree weather. While it could happen, that would be out of the ordinary.

The ancient traditions realized the same thing happens over thousands of years. Of course, they didn't have a calendar to go by, hence they charted the skies.

One of the things that most of the traditions discuss is that humanity is on the ascent. The people who study these ideas debate the exact dates when we transition although that really does not matter. Even though the calendar says we move from one season to the next, the weather still have characteristics of the previous one. It is not uncommon for a cold front to come through even though we transitioned into Spring. Looking out the window at the snow, one would not be able to tell.

This is exactly what we are experiencing. We are at the beginning stages of the new Era that is upon us. Some will even claim that we are still ending the previous one. Regardless of where we are exactly, since this transition will be unfolding over the next few hundred years, pinpointing dates is rather useless. What is important is the characteristics of the "season" we are entering and people's reaction to it.

Basically, using the Winter/Spring analogy, the calendar passed March 21st, yet most are claiming it is still Winter because there is snow on the ground. Tell them it is Spring and they argue with you. They do not realize that next week a warm front will melt the snow kicking off the Spring growing season.

When I talk about the Age of Abundance, many still see the snow. They are stuck in the Age of Scarcity we operated under for the last few thousand years. Failure to understand the characteristics of the new Era is leading one to believe this is the same as it always was.

One of the main points of the uplifting of humanity is technology. While this does not seem to apply to ascension, it is a very important aspect. Without technology, we are easy to control. Consciousness is around us yet we are unaware of it. Since most of us lack the ability to tap into these messages, technology helps a great deal.

We know the last 100 years saw exponential growth in our technological abilities. Compared to the 100 years before that, we are moving at light-speed. The same will be true 100 years from now. They will look at the period we just went through believing us rather archaic.

The biggest innovation was the creating of the Internet. I have seen it termed "digital consciousness". This enables us to tap into the world's knowledge base. No longer are we at the mercy of those who want to espouse their message. The Internet enables anyone to present their views. We know there are forces that look to silence this medium and even had a degree of success. However, the messages are spreading helping people to wake up.

Communication is a wonderful thing. Yet it carries little impact in one's life if that person is starving. The fact the monetary system is still in the hands of the few means that, in spite of new beliefs arising, people can do little about them. That was until someone(s) wrote a white paper sharing an idea for a new monetary system.

This was a major turning point for humanity yet most of us did not even realize it. Years later, the majority of the world is still unaware of what a gift to the world Bitcoin is. The innovation from that single development is in the process of creating an industry that will free mankind from the chains of the elite.

Those who are on STEEM are early adopters. In fact, anyone involved in cryptocurrency falls into that category. If I had to guess, there are still most likely under 100 million crypto wallets in the world. This means only a sliver of the population was even exposed to this revolutionary idea. We know the FUD attacks put out by those in charge was fierce. Why did they do that? I venture to say they see the same thing I do. Unfortunately for them, while I believe this is good for humanity, they know it is bad for them.

The behavior we see among people, even on STEEM, shows they believe we are in the last season. It is akin to someone pulling out more Winter clothing on April 1. Yes it might be cold out but Spring is here. The person does not believe you.

On this level, tell someone the Age of Abundance is here and they still are fearful. The old belief system is in play. They are jealous of anyone who has more because that traditionally means they have less. Of course, greed is a big factor in all this at every level. Those with a lot need more while those who do not, they crave more. This leads to attacks, vile name calling, and bullying. It also leads to complaining.

Few are grateful for whatever is in their accounts and the synchronistic events that led to one being on STEEM at this time. It is easy to fall into the trap of "I wish I got here a year earlier". Naturally, there is also the possibility that one could have gotten here a year from now. Nevertheless, while one is wishing, complaining, and attacking, he or she is not taking advantage of the opportunity right now.

We see this with so many inactive accounts. Hundreds of thousands of people could be filling their accounts with some STEEM each day yet they are doing nothing. Many came to the site and left. They did not realize this was something different. I am sure there are many reasons for one not staying. Regardless of the reason, the fact they did not see the opportunity before them is going to haunt them. Even if they come back a year from now, it will be harder to earn STEEM.

And that is the point everyone needs to understand.

As more people join this ecosystem, the amount of STEEM in the reward pool gets diluted. That means it is harder to earn the same amount of STEEM. This will be offset by the idea that as STEEM gets "scarcer", the price should increase. The STEEM ecosystem further enhances this with the Steem Power concept which locks up STEEM, reducing the amount on the open market.

STEEM is far from perfect. There are problems. However, STEEM, as cryptocurrency is in general, is the opportunity of a lifetime. The only question is do you realize it or not? Those who want to behave like we are in the last season and nothing is changing, well your accounts will reflect that.

One of the main reasons I am so optimistic about STEEM is because people are making money. In my 8+ months on here, not only has my account grown, yet I see the accounts of others growing too. These are people who are consistent in their efforts. They are on here each day posting, commenting, and upvoting. They do this regardless of the price of STEEM. In spite of the flaws with Steemit, they keep persisting. And their accounts grow.

Another wonderful thing happened. since I joined. The price of STEEM, back then, floated between $1.30 and $.80. Now it is 3-4 times that. Hence, whatever SP one has in the account is now worth more than it was before. My view, this trend will continue. Those who has SP in their account today, whatever the amount, it will be worth a great deal more a year from now.

I came across a number of people who got frustrated with some aspect Steemit and left only to come back 6 or 9 months later. Each of them had the same story. They regretted it from the standpoint that is lost time. They grasp the fact it was easier to earn STEEM 9 months ago. What they also understand is that it will be harder to earn STEEM 9 months from now.

Time is something none of us can recoup. Therefore, the opportunity is before us. STEEM is a compounding system. Each action builds upon what went before it. As the ecosystem grows, the value moves up also. The only way to maximize one's standing down the road is to add whatever he or she can now. Those who watch the price of STEEM and stop posting when the price goes down are paying a price. That is time that cannot be recouped.

Warren Buffet, Bitcoin's biggest detractor, talks about the power of compound interest. He realized a long time ago that growth at a consistent rate over long periods of time adds up.

STEEM is the epitome of this. There are so many ways for an account to grow. The only requirement is to be active on a consistent basis. Sure it takes effort and dedication. Yet the rewards will be there over time.

The problem people have is their belief system. Many reading this will not believe it. That is fine. Many of those same type people did not believe what I wrote back in the fall when STEEM was at 80 cents either. Nor will they believe what I write when STEEM is $12.

One of the characteristics of the new Era is moving away from belief to knowledge. When one is sitting there with the Winter wardrobe at the beginning of April because the belief of Winter based upon snow on the ground, that person is apt to be way off. Contrast that with the person who looks at the calendar knowing that it is only a few weeks away from warming.

I have enough of a technological background and studied these trends over the past decade to have a knowing about what is happening. From this perspective, it is easy to see where we are headed over the next 5-10 years (within certain parameters). Blockchain is one of the core components of what is going to take place. Because of this, cryptocurrency is equally as important.

For this reason, I am very grateful to be part of this industry at this time. I know a couple years of dedicated effort is going to pay off enormously.

The question is do you?
