Topic: The slave does not dream of freedom, but of being the slave-master - page 2. (Read 779 times)

there are always philosophical quotes to encourage life and respond to how times are changing. all have the advice that every slave has no freedom in any of his activities. he must submit to the elders.
Therefore, the freedom of owning cryptocurrencies makes us masters of ourselves without needing to follow someone else's index finger. financial freedom, personal interests, transactions at will. release the shackles of slaves so that they are no longer breastfed at the behest of their master. let's get rid of the ancient paradigm that shackles in every neck of the slaves and free him to choose the future according to his own will.

If we say that people who currently reside and use fiat are considered slaves then I myself disagree.  Slaves are people who have no choice, haven't we all lived with the choices that exist and we also weigh all choices with the risks or rewards that result from those choices. Even in crypto projects, it's part of the choice.  There are many indicators that we can look at not to get caught up in a project that enslaves itself.  Is anyone forcing you to get involved in something?

I am not saying that the other side is clean, fiat world is definitely trying to turn us into slaves, and trying to make us be happy about the fact that we can barely survive, they are making life so hard that anyone who can find happiness just a bit are seen as winning the world.

Why wouldn't I be able to live in a good house? Not saying a mansion or a castle but not some dump, a "decent" house, a house like simpsons house, simple house, why wouldn't I be able to go see any place in the world, we have the travel means nowadays, planes make it very easy, it is literally just few hours from where I am to all of Europe, why can't I do that? Why can't I buy all the games I want, all the game consoles I want? Why? We have the means to produce 8 billion of those in a year or two, it is not that hard, why can't I eat meat as much as I want? It is easy to do it if we all agree to use the resources accordingly.

Long story short fiat world makes things that are simple into very hard things and that makes zero sense to me, and it is called free market to give it some jazz but it is purely just evil that keeps people as slaves. Yet that doesn't mean that places like XRP and TRX and BNB are not centralized and looking to be the same thing.

We have seen over time in history that this sentence or quote is actually true. Slaves don't dream of freedom, they dream to become slave masters. Infact, this has been the motivation for several people going up the success ladder. They strive, not to enjoy the freedom that comes with wealth but to be able to boss around and command other people.
With bitcoin, however, I believe there might have been some deviation from the original intention of its creation. Bitcoin was created to change the status quo of the financial system, return power to the masses and let people be in control of their finances. It was created to add value
This might not be the case now as several people only got involved with bitcoin because of the prospect of making money.

I am glad to read this post, and it reminds me of Martin Luther King--I have a dream. Of course, his dream is to eliminate racial discrimination and Achieve freedom and equality.

The dream of a slave is to become a slave owner, which also illustrates the weakness of human nature. This depends on the person’s childhood knowledge structure and original ecological family. We can’t blame him. Maybe it’s not his fault.

But in the world of Bitcoin, the original reason for believing in Bitcoin, people all over the world have formed a strong consensus to make Bitcoin sing its way, but what is terrible is that the speculation is getting stronger and stronger, and huge wealth has been obtained through various means , Has completely deviated from the original intention.

Considering the problem purely from the perspective of economics, here I want to express two concepts, one is a product and the other is a commodity.

The product reflects the value of the thing itself, and the commodity only has the price.

When people pay too much attention to the price, just like the current encryption market, a hundred flowers bloom, all kinds of flies and mosquitoes come out, there will be various scams, scams, and make people miserable.

Altcoins have created many dreams that make people rich overnight, but many are traps.which means that to be a slave, if his dream is to be a slave owner, it is also very sad.

Unfortunately there are both truth to yours and mine as well. I understand that if you want to find your freedom in crypto you can find it, if you want financial freedom you can find it, if you want political freedom (to keep your finances away from politicians and governments) you can find it, those are all the great parts about crypto and you can do all of those things without a problem and that is what I like about crypto.

However what I am right about and what this topic is probably about that there are people who create tokens that basically just ignores all the investors and only care about having a lot of a token that they created and others should increase the price of, they create it for free to themselves and then promote it so that the price goes 100x and they could become super wealthy and all thanks to other people who are trying to get that freedom from crypto.

So, in return we can call them "slave masters" in a way that they are trying to find their freedom over others crushed dream of freedom.

Everyone wants to attain greater heights despite been under the shadows of people, brothers, friends, bosses,so as not to go through whatever they are on at the time, despite challenges from different angles a lot elove, struggle, fight,and find there way to the top,only those with the best mentality.For example lets take a look at Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr, despite doing well under the shadows of Messi,he wanted to be the king of he's and then moved to Psg.

People are seeking for betterment maybe because they truly wanted to lift up their lives from being a slave to becoming a master of their own and to maintain such position to be able not to experience the same slavery they have become before and went through those challenges they have surpassed. The change from being a slave to become a master of slave or just barely a master depends on the person if he will intend to do so becoming on of those because ever since old ages, the strongest remains on the top like survival of the fittest that those capable can stand out among the other people. Such mentality or philosophy still applies in the modern age meaning, to be able to survive you must improve yourself to become better if you came from worst and further grow up to become the best.

In my opinion, in the past, the word slavery was due to the time when kings had the power to exploit people without property to seek food, they used power and violence to exploit, most of the people without property were usually safe fate and have no distant dreams for themselves.

We have to trust ourselves and never give up because the time will come and all your hard work will be worth it. Don't be a slave of money, just enjoy life, enjoy the volatility of this market while you are working to achieve your dreams, and of course treat people well because we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord, so be generous and don't judge people easily. We are working for our personal goals, time may come that we may employ people but hopefully you don't see them as your slave, always remember where you came from.

It really depends on someone's perspective in life. Being a 'slave' is often used figuratively speaking describing the status, rank, or work nature of a person in a society. During this modern times, being a slave is usually comparable to being a laborer that is underpaid by his employer. And typically, these people don't really desire to be the new master of the new slaves because they have experienced what is it like to be the lowest of low and do the hardest of hard to even dream of passing the burden and hardship they have felt to other people.

IMO, the so-called slaves are usually contented and the thing that they want is to earn enough to sustain their necessities in life; not to pass the difficulties. They aspire to have a comfortable life like any other, but does not really dream high to the point they would like to be in the position of the higher ups that manage workers. These people are okay with what they have as long as it brings food onto their table and making the ends meet at the very least. The usual people who have always dreamt to be on top and become a master of the slaves were often the rich and wealthy ones.

Maybe there are some 'slaves' that want to climb to the top. But I think their usual goal is to become a 'leader' and not just a 'master'. A leader that can be depended and look upon and is inspirational to achieve oneself's goal.

Bitcoin can never create a new Master of the Slaves, because no Master can control a decentralized network. We can become the Masters of our own destiny, because our wealth are not controlled by any Masters, if we use Bitcoin correctly.

People will only see that they are slaves of something, if they know what their Master was and Bitcoin is making that clear to them by offering them the alternative to what they were used to. (They were used to a centralized currency that are being manipulated by governments)

Take the "red" Pill Neo.... and go down the Rabbit hole. 

A little bit wrong ... I will try to give the essence of this phrase in a broader way, using a real example.
A classic individual with a slavish concept in his head will never look for ways to CHANGE the environment and the system. The maximum that he will be strong is to replace the one who beats him with a stick today, like a disobedient pet ... But there are countries, peoples, societies where such restrictions are unacceptable! People want to live AS PEOPLE and not on orders from the "owner", as it was in the USSR. This is where the slaves were and the slave ideology that still manifests itself today! People born and raised by the infernal USSR still preach the slavish concept hammered into their heads - no need to live well and richly, do not think - the party will think for you, do not wish - the party will say what you need, do not discuss and do not condemn - party leaders and the party is always right, the enemy is the one to whom the leaders of the party and the party will point out, friends - also wait for instructions. And never think or defend your point of view. this is a crime against the leaders of the party and the party as a whole!

A very popular scenario in every country especially here in our country where most people are waking up early just to go to a company where they are working for 8 hours just to be paid minimum. Sometimes their wages aren't enough for the whole family which is quite unfortunate.

People are working under their managers just to have money to be used in their daily lives. People are working under their master and hoping that they will climb up and will be the master of the incoming slaves in the future. The cycle keeps going on and on and on and on. People doesn't want to be a slave but in order for them to live, they have no choice but to work under their master just to have money to be used. What's worse is I've seen people working for a decade already and even more and yet they aren't being promoted and still being paid minimum wage. Their wage isn't changing but the prices of necessities are changing yearly.

As for me, I've work under a government for under a year only. I have this mentality that I don't want to be a slave to others. I don't want to be a master of others too that is why I find a job to earn money in other way. I've found some jobs which is I love to do and I found other sources of income. Now I don't need to wake up and work for 8 hours straight. I can wake up anytime I want too.

No you are not because you are rather fighting for the freedom of all. Slavery is what fiat is doing but cryptocurrency is giving total control of your money to and you can decide to spend it the way you like without a third party or the bank to know your balance or how much you spent.



Those who have climbed on the the ladder who are crypto enthusiasts are not of those terms, they understand what being free is.


We are in this together trying to liberate ourselves to better educate those who don't know what is happening. They are many people out there that doesn't know what cryptocurrency or bitcoin is , so we are gaining this experience to better educate our people more.

Slaves all have a dream to become slave owners, rather than overthrow slavery. In the crypto market, one can gain freedom and become a slave owner. Everything in the crypto market is relatively free. You can get rid of the power and control of our finances by the banker. When people have funds that are not controlled by the government and no one can take it away, people will find freedom, so as to take control of own life.

Let's say I am misunderstood at this point. If that is so, maybe people want to have more money, and by having so many coins on the crypto, especially potential coins, they will have a chance to achieve their goals. Once they can achieve, they will feel become a master for their life.

We created our cryptocurrency to become a master for our currency because if we can use our crypto, we are not dependent on the other third party such as the government, which always wants to control many things. But unfortunately, the government still involved in this matter, so the crypto needs them to approve crypto.

We still become slaves because we can not use crypto to buy a product, service, or others without approval from the government.

While in Quora:

I honestly don't want to be a slave to life. You can understand it the way you think, everyone will have different opinions and arguments, but personally I find being in charge of myself contented with the life I have and trying to make things good. Such a life for me is meaningful, and there is no need to try to chase goals beyond my ability.

We all know what the word slave means. If someone works in someone's order, I call it a slave. Like if we work for a company, we are caught as slaves to that company. There are many people who try to own a slave. Those who have ideas will be able to own slaves. It is thought of less people in the society.

No one wants to be a slave, but the way most people get rid of slavery is to become a slave owner. You say you want freedom, but when you really break free, you hold more people's unfreedom in your hands, but I think in the field of cryptocurrency, you can get rid of the slavery of others, and you can enjoy your own wealth. No one can control you. It is open source, transparent and open. The emergence of cryptocurrency allows us to realize the freedom of wealth and gain autonomy, so that we will not become enslaved people.
