Personal Theory To The Concept Of Choice.
Choice is something everyone should have in life, the ability to have a choice takes away basic poverty. A lot of people cannot distinguish between what makes them poor and what doesn't. In fact, many who find it difficult to have some basic resources of life often refer to themselves as poor, when actually their perpetual state of lack is self-induced and not as a result of an impactful underlying circumstance.
From my own economic perspective, however, my theory towards knowing one's financial level is weighing most of their life options to generally see if they have choices or if they do not. Take a look at Nigeria for example, most of the people working in the sectors they are actually doing so, because they were not presented with the choice of doing what they actually can.
People who are skilled lawyers, are working as half-baked bankers, people who are great writers are working as nannies, rendering their quite ineffective in the area where they're concentrated.
Most of the monetary decisions we have to make stems from even having a choice in the beginning. Money is always deemed to be the penultimate or original ingredient when it comes to creating a purposefulness for choice, but this isn't totally true.
A person who has money without being presented with prospective possibilities might just end up totally wasting them, and this is why it's good to understand that have choices is the base core of truly knowing if one is experiencing lack or if they're not. For example, while education can come as a choice to some people, to some others it is actually a luxury.
Being born healthy, with the ability to be able to work, is having a choice already. With people who aren't born healthy, there's this huge obstacle, there's already a hindrance to them making the choice to work, have money and build a dream. While excessive choice to me is the proof of plenty, not having the ability to create some basic choices of life is what I consider true poverty.
The lack of money and resources is the aftermath of not utilizing one's choices. The truth is, most humans... Almost all humans are naturally endowed with the ability to create choices from them, but sometimes some biological and psychological factor makes it difficult for people to understand how the concept of choice works.
When people have to settle for less, it's either they do not know that they secondarily have choices, or they truly do not have choices. The inability to interpret one's choices is always a terrible issue, sometimes people are manipulated into believing they have no other choices except one, this is a skilled used by traditional banks to keep people away from crypto.
Sometimes people do not see their choices, and this is because they're not bold enough. When people are in limbo because they feel they don't have a choice, then they have created an artificial scarcity which is possible because of their lack of Intuitiveness.
It's always difficult to understand what one's choices are, especially when some underlying factors make it generally impossible. Sometimes the lack of exposure and lack of experience, blinds people to the fact that should organically have choices, but they're limited to one, due to ignorance that wasn't really their fault.
The fear of risk or the fear of failure is why people do understand how far their choices can actually go. Some people are originally scared of taking risks because they fear implosion, hitting ground zero, losing all their money and probably back to being needy. Risk itself is a possibility of choice because it presents a possibility of reward, even if the possibility of reward isn't the only side to a coin in a venture.
The ability to even see prospect behind a risky venture is a choice, between maintaining stagnancy, moving backwards or forward. I was firstly exposed to these antics as a child when I watched the show who wants to be a millionaire as a kid.
The truth is, awareness and the altruistic analysis of our member, is one of the ways to actually knowing the choices we originally have and how we tend to create more choices for ourselves going forward. Sometimes seeing only a choice in a situation is not being aware of what we truly are.
A lot of people feel that having a degree is only for monetization, they do not see it as a desired tool that can forestall more exposure. When we're exposed, we're creating avenues to see more opportunities, the skills to even create opportunities even if they're not originally there in the first place. The best way to economically control people are to keep them in ignorance and take away every possibility of exposure and knowledge.
The most powerful people in the world are hoarding some information that can financially emancipate people, nevertheless, people would still go ahead to create further opportunities for themselves but discovering how to create choices for themselves even in the most difficult situations.

No one is going to come to you, if you do not take the first step. So only we can help ourselves to come out of that.
Totally right sir, the bold steps are always difficult except we definitely accept the challenges that comes with it. Choices don't come easy, sometimes we definitely need to dig deep to eventually utilised them to our benefits.

Liberation is all we keep yearning for but we don't go for the machinery that'll make it work: exposure!
You're correct, this was obviously stressed too by me, eventually you found and laid emphasis to it actually. Cheers! Thanks for coming through. Merry christmas

That's what got to me most because I'm guilty 😂. I'm glad i came through
I wonder if this will change in the metaverse. At least in the current scarcity economy, I don't see this changing since lower supply means higher prices.

The metaverse promises to change a whole lot, however it's yet to be seen if this choice aspect will actually change, thanks for dropping by.

Hard to tell. All this talk of the "abundance mindset" is a crock of shit from most, imvho. I wouldn't expect much change. Status and assets are far too important to those who're scared to explore the other side of the coin.
People should try to figure out their place in the literal universe before they even start to comprehend their place in the metaverse. Seems obvious enough.
I can Understand and comprehend you, at the end of the day, the metaverse will be filled with people and not robots and these people would actually want to follow the status quo of how things still worked, the average person might feel a change, probably fairer than it was in the normal universe, it's still all conjecture.

As a Venezuelan, i can see and undertand your social contex about choise and social complexity, most people in my country have almost 0 choise on their life's, here i am, i work as a laundryman, but im graduated on accountand... Is just the way the world spins...
I think countries like Nigeria and Venezuelan citizens can actually relate to some extent, this is a societal phenomena only relatable to countries with little or no opportuinities and the system hardly works as well.

Venezuela system collapse alltogheter, if you dont live on one of the 15 decent citys, is hard to live by.
You are right, but change is always difficult something, using myself as an example I red Accounting in school but am no way working as an accountant but a teacher because some how the society makes you settle for what's available not what you want.
It's obviously what I try to stress here, it's More of an expository content to highlight some of the things we're actually facing in some supposed third world country. At the end of the day, we're left with no choice but to accept whats on ground for us, its why i'm happy that Crypto changes this narrative.

Having a degree does not guarantee you that you’ll be successful, success come from choice we make and sometimes the hard choices. Our abilities to be able to identify opportunities and make good use of them.

Well, exactly my perspectives too, mixing up things is actually the best, exposure to Crypto for me has been more than life changing
Unfortunately, all cultures have the golden rule in common. "Those that have the gold makes the rules"
I am hoping that the cryptocurrency movement will make the playing field a bit more level.
Crypto has already done a lot in that aspect, it levels the playing field to a particular aspect and we're glad because it hardly follows these cultures. Thanks for dropping by.
Not to prolong the conversation unnecessarily, but I will have to agree with you. Having been here for about 10 months and not really committing until the past few months have earned a significant amount. Nothing to call wealth but enough to know that Hive is amazing.
Exactly, you can actually see a sizeable difference especially when you put in that extra time, hive is definitiely amazing if you ask me, it takes the dividends from those efforts to actually know.
Life is certainly about making moves, nothing is going to happen if we do not take steps to make things change. Hope you remember you promised to put me through on how vlogging on hive works ooo, oya come and fulfil your promise now that I have found you again.
Oh I did? When was this?
It was a long time though,hope you remember me?
