Reality vs Stupidity.

The trading of skills, productivity and resources, is a corner stone of human settlements.
In a healthy community that process is fair.
Money homogenises trading. It evens our the highs and the lows, surpluses and shortages. Its’ cornerstone is ‘value for service’.
Thus we have reality.
The investment market once sought to profit by lending money underwritten by the benefits attributed to skills, productivity and resources. At that time remuneration was allied to risk.
Being underwritten ensured that the investment market operated with its feet on the ground. However, like all forms of gambling, the underlying objective is to accumulate wealth without expending equivalent effort.
Enter e-money.
Now the market place has groomed investors to invest without consideration of tangible asset value. E-money is not underwritten. Being able to trade virtual money for real money bypasses the safeguards that once served as the cornerstone of all commercial transactions.
From an environmental perspective, virtual money is a bridge to acquiring tangible assets without paying for them. Humanity is now able to splurge on the planet’s natural wealth without paying for it.
That is stupidity.
