Figuring “Value”

Let’s divert from cash a bit, in human coexistence. How do we place value on people. What determines how valuable a person could be? because man I think that term “most valuable person” is synonymous to buying a general perception for a human being and that is the coolest shit I can ever imagine the whole world believes you’re a perfect stand up guy 😭. Maybe that is the idea behind celebrity culture — that is actually the idea.

The most fascinating one is definitely cryptocurrency, how did the valuation rise over the year for Bitcoin. These things rise because of people, conversation and folks generally coming together to bring some sort of value to this entity. Is value really democracy, we are literally just sold dreams or ideas of things from an outward view subconsciously. That week Elon Musk tweeted about Dogecoin was one of the darkest weeks on the internet lmao, dude tweeted that and went on to buy $1.5bn worth of Bitcoin. Maybe perfectly understanding value is what makes these billionaires different people. Now look at NFTs, I am not going to go into this because I plan on writing properly about it sometime soon.

You know the truth about this whole matter is that what inspired this article is because currently my account balance is quiet hungry 😭 and I just thought to myself like every broke dude trying to rationalise the state of his finance, questions like this would pop — wait who created money sef, why the hell do I have to spend spend spend, save save save save (loop). But yea I too wanna be a valuable person, that one can translate to cash but for now allow me research on why I am broke at the moment. Have a great weekend guys 🤞🏽
