I'm not sure many people truly understand how Economics work, so I'm going to get to some simple basics, I've done this a few times before and those in the Media and elsewhere should be able to find where I have discussed Grounding Currencies, compared it to trading Soups in Jail, etc.
Most people are afraid Bitcoins are Seashells, they may not understand that is what they are Afraid of, but they look and they see Seashells in the Cryptocurrency World, and they in a way can be compared to Seashells, but True Cryptocurrency has Caps most of the Time, Blockrate, Predictability at the very least, where you know when things are going to happen. Some Tokens have open ended Caps, and this should go to how responsive the Dev is, the more they are responsive ans have been around, the more predictable they are, you can read their motives and usual way of doing things, like a positive Modus Operandi.
But Cryptocurrency with its own Blockchain generally has a Cap, or a Plan, this has now been overtaken by Tokenomics. That's the general term now.
So if we look at like Ancient People Minting Silver Talents, they had to accumulate Silver, and so must have some way of refining it, knowledge of Temperatures to Melt Metals likely just based on looking at the Fire, and maybe having a stone in the Fire to measure the Heat. But some knowledge of Refining Metals, then Knowledge of Lead or other materials for Casting, Beeswax was used in Egypt. These Coins are then Minted, and Distributed by the Crown, or Military Authority, for Official Wages, etc. These Coins would be distributed amongst people from different Regions doing things, even in different Nations, like finding the Store in a Texas town that accepts Pesos. As the Wages went out, that person then had Silver, or Gold, not just a Trinket for Trade, but something from a Trusted issuing Authority that understood how to Refine and Cast Metals. This Metal then could be used to make Jewelry, Crafts, etc. A Nation could Mint a Coin, and a more sophisticated Nation could make Silverware and those types of things, Rings, Bracelets, eventually Watches, etc.
Silver was worth more when everyone had a Drawer full of Silverware, that's HODL, now there is Colloidal Silver, that's the same kind of thing there has always been going on, and Drinking Silver and Gold is actually Ancient as well. Not long ago Quarters were made of Silver.
So Cryptocurrency should have some kind of Utility, if we look at Benjamin Franklin, he discovered Electricity and is known for Flying a Kite that was struck by lightning by tying a Key to it. We can look at this all as as simple as Grounding the Currencies. It may seem too simple, but the whole Diaspora Brujeria is centered on taking what are called "Egyptian Gods" or "Greek Gods", etc, and looking at where each Individual Deity comes from, then seeing where they were worshipped, etc. So Grounding them, that's how I ended Heaven and Earth and started Revelations. The Enlightenment if we do it right.
If we now look at the Currencies as Temple Hubs, we could say a Shill is a kind of Temple Devotee, and the Chats are kind of Organized gathering places, BLURT, STEEM and HIVE being really the best way to implement that, but there should be like a Twitter Version, an Instagram Version, or they should just put Social Media on Graphene. That kind of thing. But if we look at this like the Gods, they shouldn't be grounded to a .com, or a .io, that's all great abd everything, but there should be things in a community representing that community, like God and Goddess Idols around town, but to your Finances. A BTC ATM, and next to it your Local Currency, your Local Currency listed at the ForEx booth of the Airport, maybe there could be deals for using it, for the customer and the merchant, then if someone wants to go on Vacation maybe they buy Coins up in the season they know is the lowest for the merchants when they can pick it up cheapest, and then come to town later and already have it.
It needs to start being grounded, and really that just starts with people making Currencies and having signs put up saying "Now accepting [Local Currency]" which then serves to teach the community and get them interested, as well as getting the Merchant paid. This all has to be kind of understood, the Merchants only want in when there are a bunch of Holders, and the Users want Utility so new Merchants drive new Users. Each Merchant then has their Social Media reach, and that again gets to Graphene where Merchants can earn for talking about themselves, their Currencies, etc.
This usually starts with,
Silver and Gold. I have gone over this several Times, but someone Selling Silver and Gold for say, BLURT, would get plenty of BLURT for their Gold right now, and could Sell the BLURT at $0.04, or probably even $0.50 later, and when people start posting about Buying Silver and Gold, and that makes it's way to other Social Media, the Cryptocurrency gains value because you can earn it, and it is tradable for Silver and Gold, and the best way to Earn Graphene is to hold more of it as BP, SP, HP, so that then drives Sales, and it goes in a Cycle. But this can start with anything, Precious Metals are just probably the Best. Since you can sell with the Market in mind, and generally have a discussion Topic, and then also the whole Spot price changes, and then a whole emerging Economy from the price of the Currency v. The Price of Gold.
This would actually also make a good basis to then launch a Token redeemable for Gold. We are going to start with Soap, and may be able to start doing a few other Sales here soon on Graphene, but that's how it all starts.
When Bitcoin was like $30-$1,000+ people would ask if they could have some still, like people didn't automatically even understand that you could earn it, that there was a place on Bitcoin Talk to sell things, or offer Work, like Dev skills, or Art, or other things, and there actually was like a big 3D printing, and Solid Coin Cold Storage BTCs, then the Mining Machines and ASICs, there was like a whole GPU market, and we just have to create those spaces again, but with new Markets added. There is a big NFT and kind of like video game NFT skins, and that kind of Market, so it shouldn't be hard to get all of this together in this Climate.
