Not at all surprised to read this. The world financial markets were screwed as soon as "money" no longer needed to be backed by "gold". Literally means it has no tangible value. Worth no thing in real terms. Neither does bitcoin. Something that doesn't 'exist' outside of our imagination or by mutual intimate agreement like a covenant, will ultimately disappear, along with any 'value' that the human mind ascribes to it.
Why try to accumulate "wealth" in financial terms when wealth could more meaningfully be described as health and relationship?
I really applaud your intention here Susan, to warn and encourage ordinary people to get shot of bitcoin before it crashes, as it inevitably will. The rare few folks who 'made a fortune' on bitcoin were either liars or pawns used to entice others into the trap. It was always about the long game for those people who had nothing to lose (already had more than they needed) and you're thankfully exposing this trick. Shame that so many of us still dream of "striking it rich" as if that will prove our worth. We have to first learn to give away what we want to get. 🙏🏼
Profound and true words Dot, thank you.🙏🏻 Money is a construct that only works when all are in agreement to its value. Money no longer being backed by gold triggered the flood gates of debt, that is causing so many problems.
I have been cogitating about money as energy and how I experience each transaction as an exchange and merging of energies. This changes completely when it’s digital, but that is grist for another discussion.
There is an energy and age old mythologies about “striking it rich”, that keep us chained to the treadmill of work and false gods. When in reality the gold is inside us and all around us.
As you say the ultimate wealth is health and in our relationships with self and others…thats where our investments can pay off. Then the currency of the future will be communities built on trust, respect and shared responsibility.

The pain train cometh and will hit those not expecting harder. Thanks for stopping by to give your view, it’s much appreciated.
