So Im not very inspired today as far as posting is concerned, But I have managed to spend the last 2 hours speaking to a group of people about cryptocurrencies and managed to get them quite interested. Its not easy talking to especially people here in Spain about this subject as we always seem to be the last to adopt new technologies and people here prefer to just watch television and complain about how corrupt our politicians are.
I insist on telling them that we are all to blame for a faulty democratic system that benefits few people
Its not easy convincing people of the change that is to come, and how the blockchain will change the world. But Im pretty damn stubborn and I just keep going on until they start to understand what Im telling them.
Spanish people are in love with a cash system
I tell them that cash is already on the brink of being abolished and that in the next 2/3 years we will not be using paper money anymore. This they don't like to hear because its the only type of economic freedom that they still have. Our money policies have already been changed in such a way that every year the amount we can spend and deposit in euros into a bank account gets reduced. For example on january 1 of this year the limit was reduced to 1000€ its expected to drop to 500€ at the end of this year.
Inflation is a lie
Another hard concept to educate people on is that our money supply keeps getting expanded without any general publics knowledge or consent, we get told all the time by mainstream media that products get more expensive over time and thats the main reason why we cant buy products and services for the same value that we did a few years ago.
BIG LIE...
In the end and after having to explain several times the same reasons for my love of cryptocurrencies and a decentralized system I think these people really started to ask themselves the kind hard of questions that they have never thought about before.
Feels good!!
In other news I think I finally found a restaurant that will accept Steem in my new home town, hopefully in the next few days I can post about it and tell you all about this new establishment that will expand the already existing places nearby where anybody can pay for food and drink in exchange for steem.
