SmartBCH is Freedom
Despite everything I will still always believe that the key to real freedom is financial inclusion, the ability to "make it" being made accessible to everyone. While having BCH serve as decentralized global peer to peer currency is one part of the puzzle, the real freedom from the system will only come when we focus equally on the giving of opportunity to the billions who are now currently being disenfranchised by the global financial system.
If someone from a developing country cannot plug into a financial system and participate freely then he or she cannot ever become free. They will continue to be harmed by the system and remain stuck in it. Peer to peer cash that's immutable, not censorable and out of the hands of any government or the banks are the beginning - so people can buy, sell and hold without anyone controlling their finances.
But, we need more. If people cannot increase their income to reasonable levels so they and their families can survive then they cannot ever thrive.
If a billion people can't thrive because they're struggling to provide enough food for their families then we can't ever reach our true potential as Humanity. Children need to have food to learn, adults need to have food to innovate. We all need to feel assured in our basic needs to be able to function.
What we need more than anything with a peer to peer money system is DEFI for the masses. Affordable DEFI that we can all use to build our wealth over time independent of the governing authorities, wealth that can provide for our families and help us build more.
THAT is the great equalizer and this equalizer is ...
SmartBCH
Yes, I know we've had some issues due to CoinFlex and the constant FUD. But the side chain is still the best hope for Humanity to progress out of our corrupted current system. If someone can take a few dollars and use them to slowly built their wealth up over time it's more powerful than anything else we can give them. (That's ironically why the Key to the Konra Kingdom has always been our airdrops, farms and auto - staking where anyone can take a little and turn it into a little more over time.) I see this same theme playing out all over SmartBCH, with GameFi, NFT's, Token launches, staking pools and Farming options.
Where else could you have purchased a few Law punks a few months ago and farmed hundreds (if not thousands) of Law Tokens with it over time; while the floor price for the Punk itself more than doubled if not tripled in the same time? In less then a year, during one of the worst market times around; Law is thriving and so are the value of my Punks. I did this with a few Law Punks, so obviously it's really given me great Returns and my small squad "army of Law Punks" is worth more BCH then I ever imagined I'd hold in my life. I spent perhaps 1 BCH on them, maybe 1 and a half... and look where it got me.
Now what about the famed Moon Moon Moon Moon token? It is a meme token on SmartBCH. In two days I jumped on it, bought a bunch of them between 2 - 4 $ and resold them when they went between 40 - 50 $. A quick BCH or two cause I thought quick on my feet.
SmartBCH is full of these kinds of opportunities. I missed a lot of them. Got a few of them and made off well with them. Also got rugged a few times too.
But all in all - SmartBCH is a viable way to take what little scraps we have left over from the hard work we pour into system and change those into BCH to then use those scraps to build our family's future.
I can't even count the amount of people that went from having fragments of BCH to a whole BCH or more from SmartBCH before the whole CoinFlex situation happened. And now that we're moving past it with additional bridges and work arounds, those who stuck around during the bad market month will thrive again to see increases in their portfolios again.
For me all of this equals to my freedom in the future, the freedom to eventually cut down my work hours at my day job so I can spend full time to build a project unlike any the world has seen yet - so I can use my knowledge and wisdom I've learned to empower others so they too can be freed from the system.
That's why SmartBCH is Freedom and that's why I know that there isn't a single amount of anything that could stop SmartBCH from growing. We've got the first real hope for all of humanity, and though time and additional effort more people will find it and more projects will get developed on it.
Best of all there is nothing anyone can do to stop SmartBCH; no Government can Censor or control it in any way, especially once we decentralize everything on it with decentralized bridges and decentralized governance.
It'll free me and it can free you.
Then we can BCH everywhere and free the world.
The idea of people slowly building a small amount of BCH into something significant via high risk interest rates that require trusting an unregulated securities vendor is an absurd fantasy. It is only possible for a few lucky winners to make money while everyone else looses this way, it's a zero sum game. Even if it didn't have these problems a magically good 10x return is not that useful in absolute terms if you don't start with significant capital. The only way to actually make money is real hard work, providing goods and services.
That being said, I do believe that decentralized currency can help people, it just won't be with interest rates and speculation. It will be because it gives them the ability to trade with people across borders cheaply and efficiently and the ability to save their money they worked for (many people of the world don't even have access to a bank). Yes, when you have saved money it should be invested in some way, but that needs to be investing in real businesses that provide cash flow and non-absurd returns promises. Real products and services providing cash flow is what makes it not a zero-sum game.
