Siddhārtha Gautama outlined that suffering is part of human existence and that to find any degree of freedom from this truth we have to acknowledge it at a core level. The interesting thing about that doctrine was that it called for aligning our understanding of the nature of the universe around us as close as possible with our systems of logic. By simply observing the OPEN SOURCE nature of reality we immediately begin to take steps towards being free. Reality is open source and simply acknowledging it has extremely powerful implications on us as a people. In today's current global economic climate when one unflinchingly acknowledges the current distribution of wealth and the way the system is arranged then a step happens whether we want it to or not. We see the sham and decide to continue to play along for convenience or decide to begin to peacefully cease to comply. The reality dawning isn't enough in itself but rather a step that if followed leads one to a point where with holding compliance becomes a consistent practice. Grow a garden rather than buy imported food from a shop, place ones money in crypto currency rather than a bank, and cease to jump or feel that the most wealthy hold all the power simply due to a balance they hold of a debt bloated fiat currency. Having the wealth shouldn't allow the wealthy to have possession of what we are as human beings. We only hand that over when we hand over our compliance, allow wealth to drive our fears, wants, and desires. Or even worse begin to admire the wealth gaining attributes of those psychopaths who hold possession of the lions share. Before trade and barter of goods on a community level was the only way to circumvent taxes and control some degree of local economy, now we have crypto currency and the amazing open source technology it brings to the game. I don't think by itself it's enough to eventually level the playing field or end the way we have become enslaved/separated as a people by financial oligarchs and corrupt governments. But it's definitely a step in the right direction. Cool post, and I'm extremely excited about EOS (I hold quite a bit). Where and what the crypto sphere will bring in the coming year is anyone's guess, but it's definitely an exciting time.
