## Buidl, Hodl, Rekt

These three terms are common in crypto, but it got me thinking about an idea I have been meaning to float in regards to typos. If you think about "hodl" for example, it would be a common typing error, but unless dyslexia was present, it would never be written. While spelling errors happen, "write-os" like this would be rare. But, this isn't what I was thinking about.

We have two hemispheres of the brain and there is evidence to suggest that each acts quite differently, with each not necessarily having a very good idea about what the other is doing. When I was a kid, I explored this a little without knowing much more than that there was a separation and I tried writing with my left hand to see what happened. While it was harder to do since I am right-handed, what I did notice that there was seemingly a difference in my thinking processes, but I didn't know if it was real, or just because what I was doing was quite foreign to me. A few months ago I listed to an interesting Sam Harris Podcast on the [Divided Mind](https://samharris.org/podcasts/234-divided-mind/) which is worth listening to. 

What I was wondering though, is that normally when we would write or use a tool, we would be doing it predominantly with our dominant hand, which is reinforced over time as dominance creates habits through repetition. How much impact does this have on our thought processes as we are working  and then, is there a difference in the way we think when we are typing instead, which is a skill we have learned after learning to read and write. I wonder if not only do we think differently, but do we behave differently at a keyboard, and does this explain some of the difference in the way we are face to face and how we tend to be online. 

I have no idea if there are studies on this, but I would say that everything we do has an effect on what we think and what we think, has an effect on what we do - creating the cycle of creation, *thought, word and action.*

## Thought, Word, Action

this is the process of creation and generally cycles through in this order, where activity inspires though, though starts a dialogue and action follows to inspire more thoughts. This is how I see the crypto industry building , with the role of developers and early adopters being to inspire thought through action, like that of an artist who paints a picture to inspire a reaction in that of the viewer, a thought, a discussion and perhaps, a change in behavior, however slight.  

Everything we do has a consequence of some kind on the future and a lot if what we are doing now in the industry is being watched by many, thought about, and acted upon. It isn't just in the media hype and drama at the ups and downs, it is in the many industries that are trying to work out the best way to take advantage of new tech and new possibilities. Some of these players are looking to increasingly control populations, some are looking to help those same populations take control of themselves.

## Good, Evil, Evolution

A lot of the scene is set up as a battle, like a good and evil epic, but it is less than that and more, as this is evolution in motion, an animal adapting to the environment and in so doing, changing the environment in which it exists. Humanity is this animal, we always have been, as we have skills to use, thought, word and action in ways that no other animal can to affect our environment, for better or worse. 

In the case of the blockchain and crypto scene, it is working in the economic and business environment as a little animal amongst established giants, yet it has them worried, because it has so much potential to help the giants, but there is a lot of risk that it will seed and sprout, changing the economy that they own and operate, in ways they can no longer rein. But it is their greed that will be the gateway in, the crack in the pavement that gives just enough space for the flower to take hold. 

As said, everything we do is a signal to others, part of the evolution of our species and signals get read, thought about, discussed and acted upon, Yes, there is a lot of hype on the promise, but bit by bit, things are building and based on this, many are holding in the hope for a better outcome than the current system, where most people are crushed through the processes. And, many are going to get wrecked in the evolutionary process, either financially in the volatility or, through the inability to adapt to the changing environment, one that is changing based on us through the processes of supply and demand. 

If we want a better world to be supplied, we have to demand a better world and the only way it will be developed, is if we develop it ourselves. As we do, it sends a message out and while many will focus on the rivalry between the new and the legacy, what is actually the most important part is the enablement of those to come, the ones who see the flower survive and thrive, and choose to follow down the same path, widening the cracks in the pavement and demonstrating it can be done and making more space for the next generation to follow again. Eventually, it is a thriving, self-sustaining and diverse ecosystem.

It is easy to take part in this world, but it is hard to have ownership of it. However, it is getting easier to be more than consumer fodder, it is possible to be an owner who directs the evolution of society. It doesn't mean it won't be without challenges or loss, but being part of humanity gives us tools to use in our environment to shift our future and perhaps, make it better for those who come in and take our place.
