You can do good with what you have.

It was exhausting, right? Having to stand against every 'new thing' just because we don't have a full understanding of what it is can be very exhausting.

We saw it with techs and how some people thought that smartphones are of no good use. People were against the internet when it first came but here we are... enjoying the very best of what the internet has to offer.

Based on the history of resistance we've seen whenever something new gains the spotlight, you would think that everyone will embrace cryptocurrency. Is that the case? Are they all speaking good about crypto? You sure know the answer to that.

One of the arguments people make against cryptocurrency is that it is used for money laundering. So, let's fight against Crypto because someone somewhere is using it to launder cash. What a joke!

That claim is true in itself. Yeah, crypto has been used for ugly purposes but we can say the say about every other thing out there. The internet, smartphones, money, banks, government... Everything!

This points to the fact that so many people have a talent for using pretty things for ugly purposes. If you believe that to be true, this will be a good time to ask yourself a question;

How do you use the resources you have?

They say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Yet, I know of many names who will forever be remembered by history because they made good use of the power they were given.

Whenever I think of power and how it has been misused, the Politicians and Cops in my country come to mind. I have seen a great number of these sets of people and it's always hard to make a good case for them. But, when you find that one person that makes good use of the power, it always comes as a breath of fresh air.

The bottom line is that there are pros and cons to just about anything. The choice of how to use the resources at our disposal is always ours to make, but in all you do, always have in mind that you have the chance to do good with whatever you have.

If you have access to the internet, a good phone, laptop, or power, it will be more beneficial to use it for good.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.

People that do good with the power they have is indeed a breath of fresh air and hope! We always have the choice to do good to the best of our ability in what we have but oftentimes, we hardly make the right choice. I guess it's a 'work in progress', the 'do good muscle' has to be developed.

Haha... The do good muscle? I like that!

I think it helps to be around people who do good and give good counsel. Their do-good attitude can rub off on us.

The decision to do the right thing is very important in all situation. !PIZZA

Yes, remember the you're the sum of the 5 people you hang around with? If all of them do good, you'll eventually do good too. So being around people who do good will help immensely in developing the 'do good' muscle.

Yeah. That's the point.

Their actions have a way of rubbing off on us and it's best we align ourselves with well-mannered people.

These things sound like a cliche, but it works

Those who criticize the use of crypto(Politicians) have some crypto currencies themselves , funny to hear ?

They use them for dirty things themselves, hiding embezzled money meant for the people, but they still criticize it just because they do not want the masses to benefit from crypto, they want to be in charge of our everyday transactions just like in the banking system and ultimately, they want to have their own cut and tax both legally or illegally from the assets of the masses.

They are the one using power wrongly, yet they try to stop those who use it for the right thing.

This just reminded me of an incident I witnessed during one of my interstate travels in 2021. There were security operatives searching people's phones along the road and once they see any Crypto related stuff, they will call you a scammer and cyber criminal.

It's both funny and sad because their ultimate plan was to scam cryto Enthusiasts. They would only let you go if you transfer Crypto to them. Imagine that!

They were shamelessly robbing people of their Crypto assets and still claim that Crypto enthusiasts are fraudsters. So weird. !PIZZA

Yeah man. That's exactly the fact. Just because they are on uniform with some cheap authority, most of them get to misuse their power too often

Very true @kenechukwu97. We can do good with what we have.

Some things are not bad in themselves but become bad depending on how the owner uses them. The same holy Bible says money is the root of all evil but still says that money answers all things. Money, power, fame, talent, connections, beauty, etc can be used for good.

Exactly. You are spot-on.

The use case of anything comes in multiple folds. It's also very dynamic so it usually has a lot to do with who is using it and how they choose to use it. !PIZZA

Those who have ugly m8ndset and bad intentions utilize every good thing in the wrong way, be it power or xyz anything. Crypto is no different.

It is up to us how we utilize our resources and what we give to the world with them

Yeah. You are on point with that. Everything at our disposal can be used for good in the right hand but once it gets into the wrong hand, it will be an instrument that will cause chaos.

It's all about our choice and we are responsible for the outcome of every choice we make. !PIZZA

Exactly, everything has its pros and cons, depending on the user about how they are using it. When we find it hard to adapt to new things, we start spreading negativity which is like grapes are sour.

In my place, they also neglect crypto, they are indifferent to adapting this, they say the exact things you mentioned that it helps with money laundering. Yeap, I do agree that it helps, they are still doing without this, but why can't you guys have proper control over the citizens of your country? There are a lot of countries that have overcome these boundaries and utilizing the benefits of it, why are pushing your people away from the progressing world? By the time they would realize the importance it would be late to keep pace with the rest of the competitors. This one is really frustrating.

Yeap, we can always do good with what we have, even if the thing is completely useless to us, could be of huge value to someone else, it's just we who decides what should be done with that thing, good or bad is determined by our actions.

Hahaha... The grapes are sour example is making me to choke on my laughter. Haha. Wow! That's hilarious.

The second paragraph in your comment is exactly the way to look at the current resistance of Crypto through the lens of the citizens. I wonder if the government are really looking at the good side of Crypto. This can literally change the life of its Citizens. Most importantly, whatever is earned through Crypto will be spent in the country and this will boost the economy of the country.

Sadly, many countries of the world (especially those that need Crypto the most) are actually fighting against it. That's such a distasteful experience.

Yeah, for example, India might have asked for a 30% tax on this sector, this is somehow too high but yeah the govt will be getting huge returns too.

are actually fighting against it.

Instead, they should have cooperated and negotiated ways to have control over it to bring fortunes in a positive way. They love to stick to the old ways instead of trying new things.

Yeah. Even without asking for tax officially, these money gets withdrawn into bank accounts and bank charge transaction fee on each of these. A part of that fee still goes to government. Haha.

The fight against Crypto will remain for a long time, but some countries are already looking for ways to take advantage of that.
