let's talk about the old economic system's collapse
Hey Friends -
I posted in our Discord the other day regarding my feeling that I finally figured something out in terms of how to speak about Seeds, and I wanted to share it here as well.
It's been really challenging this past couple years, because the bad actors in the space have made the word 'cryptocurrency' gross to most people in the mainstream. Because of them, for too many it's now assumed to be blanketly synonymous with 'scam.'
This actively hurt Seeds and our ability to raise funds to help people in need, as well as to sell the How to Build Abundance in Cryptocurrency course which sustains our project.
Now that - and I don't think this is overly harsh, considering their willingness to imperil American democracy - dangerously ignorant, entitled men like the Winklevi/M*sk, and straight-up evil opportunists like Peter Thiel and the founders of a16z are politicizing cryptocurrency to the extent that it's becoming perceived to be Trump-aligned, things have gotten totally out of hand.
I was at my wit's end regarding how to disassociate Seeds, and our work to help people when they're often at their most vulnerable - from that mess.
And I finally felt that I figured it out. It's not my responsibility, and I have no interest in 'defending' cryptocurrency at large. That sector has gotten more and more misogynistic with the passing years, and it has treated me poorly. The actions of many of the people within it are indefensible.
So what I realized was this: the manifestation of this toxically masculine energy in such stunning form - something I have often felt alone in speaking up about over the course of many years - is the clearest sign we've yet seen of the old energy's impending collapse.
I finally saw that this stage has to happen to purge what's dysfunctional as the higher, healthier energies come in.
And so I came to understand that I should speak about Seeds in terms of the the increasingly apparent fact that the old economic system is failing us…and then here's Seeds, this new system working to transcend what isn't working, and its core tenet is that, in a kinder economic ecosystem, giving and building abundance yourself can be accomplished in one action. Just as they are from a spiritual point of view
But at the same time, I still like trading cryptocurrency, and I know that sharing my experience in that area has helped people out, so I want to continue doing that too. I'm not going to let this work become another example of the actions of a minority of bad men ruining things for everybody.
As of this morning, Ether ETF trading has finally kicked off in the United States. I made a video to talk about this event - which is a big deal - as well as the above. It's intended to be a more spiritual, philosophic sort of chat, with some Ether trading discussion included as pertinent.
If you're really feeling how much the old systems are not working, this is especially meant for you.
Warmly,
Rachel
