Sowing cryptocurrencies, harvesting freedom

Bitcoin

I am of the belief that cryptocurrencies are something more than an instrument to play speculator, trader or investor from an app installed on your smartphone, waiting for its price to rise to win or fall to buy more, it is not something I criticize but financial work is not the only space where blockchain technology and decentralized digital currencies can develop their service for humanity, in fact we ourselves what we do life in this social network know what is capable of doing this new decentralized economic phenomenon.

If I had been told 10 years ago that I could have the possibility of generating income by writing in a social network through the use of blockchain technology and a cryptocurrency, I would view that person with distrust and I would even think that he or she must have consumed some hallucinogenic product. But the world, like life itself, is changing at an accelerated pace and what we used to see as science fiction is now reality.

I live in a country in crisis, usually when talking about Venezuela the information that is usually expornese in the press, radio, TV and social networks is negative, however, let the country that does not have problems throw a stone. I don't want to expand on negative stories about my country, on the contrary, or I want to talk about how cryptocurrencies have changed the life of a great friend of mine dedicated to planting tomatoes for subsistence. To begin with my friend Derman (that's his name) is a humble young man very believer of God and with a beautiful family, he lives in a town outside Caracas, where who does not work in the capital must devote himself to plant to eat.

Derman assumed from the beginning that his life will be like that, that of working the land, a small extension in the back of his house that he conditioned for the cultivation of tomatoes, peppers or eggplants. Before I must warn you not to imagine my friend working with the help of tractors or highly technical machinery, on the contrary, just his hands, the sweat on his brow and the two most valuable things he has after God and his family: his seeds and his great brain to make the fruits of the earth grow.

I remember a couple of years ago he was explaining to me the extremely complex work that means the whole process of living from what you sow, starting with the slavery to which farmers are subjected to the dictatorship of green companies and their transgenic seeds, which only produce single crops and therefore you are subjected to buy the whole technological package that the company offers after each harvest. On the other hand, the buyers impose the prices which are usually very low, to later sell at international market prices in the final destination (big cities), as always, the one who works the least is the one who earns the most.

At that time I knew about the power of cryptocurrencies and their ability to improve what surrounds us. I thought, there is no doubt that under this business scheme my friend will end up throwing in the towel because between the cost of the seeds with their technological package and the mafia of low prices, there is no doubt that he will barely have any funds left for him and his family's enjoyment. That is why I helped him to improve his life by teaching him the world of cryptocurrencies. First we invested in BTC the profits from the last harvest so that when it is time to buy the seeds a little extra fund would be left for the future.

The second thing we did was to look for buyers who would pay with cryptocurrencies (BTC, Dash or Litecoin) a matter not easy to achieve given the little knowledge about this type of economy that existed at that time. However, one buyer agreed to pay with cryptos (Dash) so we were already generating some extra income as the prices of these digital currencies strengthened. My friend was testing this system combining the fiat method with the cryptocurrencies, so that each time he could do his work of taking fruit from the land and even invest in tools and machinery that were unthinkable for him before.

Obviously Derman is passing on this knowledge to other colleagues of his, who like him have also benefited from taking on the decentralized digital economy in their production processes. Now we need to dedicate a lot of effort to totally free ourselves from the yoke of the transgenic world, we are looking for natural seeds to generate independence in our field and of course, link them to cryptocurrency trading but already this is another process we are evolving to thanks to the momentum that this new economy imposes on our lives.
