Existing economics teaches us that mankind invented the monetary system because barter was inconvenient. Despite having a monetary system, people still felt that even currency issued by it was inconvenient; therefore, economists explain that they created the current credit economy system. However, evidence found by anthropologists contradicts that explanation. In other words, it is argued that the credit transaction system existed before the monetary system, and then the credit system became distrusted for some reason. As a result, the monetary system was created and eventually replaced. Cryptocurrency today is a mathematical algorithm that makes it impossible to forge or alter transaction records. This happened because we don’t trust humans, and in ancient times, there was a more advanced credit transaction system. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the present is more advanced than the past. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In some cases, the outcome completes the intention to act. Although it wasn’t the original intention, it is a situation where the result of the action appears positively, and even the intention is glorified. Of course, the opposite can also occur. If the result of an action taken with good intentions is negative, those good intentions become a target for blame. It would be ideal if the intention and the result aligned, but that isn’t always the case. There are numerous instances where it is challenging to interpret this world full of deception and changes of heart with naivety alone. Yet, reality is shaped by the accumulation of results. If you achieve good results despite having bad intentions, it is considered luck. Skills cannot overcome luck. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The poorer persons are, the more likely they are to consider the system they are in, not their abilities or character. The poor are more likely to choose to live in ways that make them poorer. It's not because they're stupid, it's because the system they're in leads them to make those choices. Rutker Bregman, a Dutch historian and author, says that everyone is forced to make such decisions when they are placed in this environment. The way out of this system is to change your worldview. Poverty is a state of being, not an outcome. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
