The entire world is changing. What we knew is transitioning before our eyes. Opportunities are shifting which means that people are having to adapt. The "old world" ideas will soon be gone.
We romanticize the days when good paying jobs were plentiful. Many harken back to a time when the middle class was strong. Income and wealth inequality was not as noticeable because many where able to sustain themselves.
Today, that is no longer the case. The organizations we can to depend upon no longer serve that purpose. Through the idea of globalization, securitization, and maximum profits, people are just a line on an income statement. If things get tight, remove them.
That said, there is no better time to be alive. This sounds odd with all that is going on but it is true. We now have opportunities that never existed before.
For this reason, all will need to adapt. There is little choice. The old models are becoming very select, excluding most. Therefore, the online game is something everyone must play.

Total Inclusion
The online world is one that most anyone can get involved in. As long as there is Internet, one is eligible. There is no entry fee or test to take. It is simply a matter of signing on. We now see the number over 5 billion in terms of the number of participants.
While many see online as separate from our physical world, the reality is more is shifting to this new realm. Plus, we have to always keep in mind the opportunities, for the majority, in the latter are dwindling.
Tokenization opened up brand new opportunities for everyone. This is something many feel is just a phase; an idea that will pass with time. The reality is that it is starting to influence many aspects of our online world. We see where the tentacles are penetrating areas which it cannot be removed. In other words, this is not going away.
Anyone with a phone can open up an application and engage. This can take the form of creating content on a platform such as TikTok or delving into the world of gaming. The challenge is that the Internet became a hybrid of the old model. It was a realm monopolized by organizations.
That is rapidly changing.

Unlimited Upside
We have little downside risk with this. Being a content creator does not truly cost anyone anything. Other than perhaps some social penalties by saying something out of line, we are not really exposed. Thus, the risk/reward ratio is enormous.
The digital world does not face the same limitations as the physical. It grows at an exponential rate, increasing in size every year. Billions of nodes are connected, a number growing each day, increasing the computation that can occur. This all leads to more expansion.
With the introduction of cryptocurrency as a core element of this world, we see how the "earning" potential of any individual is vastly improved. To start, one is no longer dependent upon his or her local economy. The physical world is basically one of geography, at least for the vast percentage of people. One's life is mostly predicated based upon where he or she was born. Essentially, it is a case of being part of the lucky sperm club.
Our online world removes that barrier. While it is still true to a degree, it is diminishing. The key here is to be able to get online. That is the main metric. After that, much opens up.
Of course, this is causing many governments to step in a throttle this. We see the control of the Internet, further enslaving their citizens. It is where the most recent battle for freedom is waged.
That said, once in, people can immerse themselves in opportunities that keep growing. This is something few have truly understood. Basically removing limits is not something we can comprehend so easily since it is not part of our existence.

A Game Everyone Must Partake In
Why do we look at this as a game? Life is a serious matter.
That is certainly the case. However, when dealing with this realm, we realize that gamification is a big part of it. Game theory is something that developers and project teams use. In the world of bits, experimentation can occur without much downside. Cost is rather limited and feedback is instant.
Being involved in a game does not make it less real. Nor does it mean profitability is reduced. Look at the revenues generated by the established gaming industry. Or, for contrast, take sports. What do we call what is being played? A game. However, we all know that professional sports is big business. The fact it is a game does not make the money any less valuable.
Cryptocurrency is monetizing our online activities. This is opening up an entirely new paradigm to everyone. Few realize it now yet it is something all will have to get involved with. In other words, it is not going to be a choice.
The transition is already underway. We are seeing the opportunities in the physical world diminish at a rapid pace. Automation is accelerating with entire industries looking to replace human workers. This is only going to cause a greater impact in the next decade.

The Global Melting Pot
We are now immersed in a world with people from all over the world. Even platforms such as Facebook, with 2.8 billion users, bring people together from every corner of the globe.
Since the introduction of tokenization, that creates an enormous marketplace. Everyone is able to "buy and sell" their wares. The Internet excels at bringing people together, enabling individuals to find their niches.
Those who produce content, which is everyone, are able to find those communities that will follow them. Each of us can turn others into "fans". We all have a platform to exhibit whatever knowledge we have, something that can add to the lives of others. For that, they will be drawn to us, a move that can generate rewards.
The physical aspect is essentially removed. People do not have to even reveal who they are or where they are from. Open source applications enable people to sign on easily and without hassle. From there, the entire spectrum of what is offered is available.
Not only are more people getting involved but the options are also increasing at an exponential rate. More is rolling out each day that provides not only choices but more opportunity. Again, the near unlimited nature of this realm means that we are now dealing in abundance. Here we also see a shift in mindset that is not easy for people to make.
The Internet was the most financially valuable innovation in human history. It is now worth tens of trillions of dollars, more than any other single invention (or industry). What we are witnessing now is going to move into the quadrillions of dollars in value. It is simply the exponential nature of technology.
We are seeing a massive gold rush taking place. Fortunately, we are not dealing with a limited or scarce resource. Instead, we are constructing a real which essentially has no ceiling. When automation is applied to this arena, we see how massive this can get. If we just use transactions as a basis of value, the upside should be clear. It basically does not exist.
This is the new model that is forming. For the moment, it appears to be a choice but it is not. Over the next decade, it will be clear, this is something that everyone must play in.
