Somber and emotional morning in Hiroshima, Japan that unlocked the door to a very powerful conversation with my son. The emotion, fear and gravity of a situation where we’ve always lived in a world where horrific things happen in order to divide and control people had him convinced that there was no way out….and that it would happen again. Because that must be a part of us and we wouldn’t change. We then talked about how it is happening right now in parts of the world with most people turning a blind eye or making it stronger by believing that there was a side to win inside a system that relied on manipulation, coercion and control for its survival. As I brought up how #bitcoin is imposing the opposite system - one of truth, hope and abundance, and inscribing the best of us into a protocol that changed the system we have always known - he pushed back - not believing that “we” could or would change fast enough to avoid the worst. I asked him: What about you? Where is your energy going? Is your fear of what others will do keeping you from realizing what you can do? With that……he saw that we were each the change. The light in the darkness. And that no one had the power to take that from us. That every mind changed contributed to more minds changing and further understanding that we’re never going back. Yes - the system change will be chaotic, Yes - there will be many things keeping you in a perpetual state of fear to keep you locked in. Yes - There is a high probability that the world goes to war again. But how can you contribute to the world you want to see? Hope > fear Love > hate Freedom > control Abundance > scarcity
