I overhead a conversation this morning. 'Twas about the hyper-inflationary episode we went through in Zimbabwe, about a decade ago. One gentleman said to the other, 'imagine working for well over 20 years and your entire pension coming to naught.' I couldn't help but feel a visceral reaction. That, to me, is the result of people not being educated about the financial system.
Humans are really bad at noticing dangers that creep up on us. We end up like the proverbial toad in a pot of hot water. Usually, by the time we realise something is bad, it's too late.
The fiat 'monetary' system is only good for transactions at best. But as a long term store of value, I reckon it's useless. It's that realisation that is Goldma's foundation. Hard working folks around the world deserve a way out of the trap. They have to be able to hold on to the value they worked so hard for. I believe the GMA token is one of those ways.
You're right in that education is key. I think that even when we can see what's happening it is human nature to roll with the flow and follow each other like sheep instead of stepping out of our comfort zones into a new medium. There are SO many people (not just in Zimbabwe but the world over) who have spent their lives working to put away a nice nest egg for themselves and yet have nothing left of it (or not enough to take care of them). There are many working well past their intended retirement and not by choice. It's a terrible situation and I personally look forward to seeing how cryptocurrency investments, and Goldma in particular, can combat that issue.
