There is so much taking place in the **world of cryptocurrency** right now.  We are at a point in time that it is near impossible to keep up with everything.  

To start, we have the Shiba Inu run that is making some people very wealthy.  This alone is showing how many are entering the **Age of Abundance**.  

We also have some news from a couple United States mayors.  The crypto-friendly Mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, has decide to [take his next paycheck in Bitcoin](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/miami-mayor-paycheck-bitcoin-tweet-francis-suarez-pompliano-crypto-2021-11).  He is intent on making the City a cryptocurrency hub.

Not to be outdone, is the Mayor-elect of New York City, Eric Adams.  City residents went to the polls yesterday and they will soon have a Mayor who also wants to make it a crypto hub.  There seems to be a pattern emerging.

### Age Of Abundance

This is a concept which we covered for a number of years.  It was evident back then where all this was going.  Fast forward today and we see it emerging at a lightening pace.  

We are entering a completely new economic era due to **blockchain and cryptocurrency**.  The old rules no longer apply, even though the powers-that-are will try to implement them. 

Basically, we are seeing the economic model flipped from one of scarcity to abundance.  It is creating a paradigm shift that most still have not latched onto.  We see the masses are either unaware or they suffer from **paradigm paralysis**.  Whatever the cause, abundance is unfolding before our eyes.

In a world that is digital, we are dealing with a near infinite arena.  Instead of being limited by laws relating to atoms, we now gauge things based upon bandwidth and computational power.  That is part of the new metric.

At the same time, we see value derived from **network effects**.  Eyeballs have value and when activity is taking place, it pushes things up to tremendous levels.  It appears this is a concept that is still difficult for most to grasp.

Either way, abundance is available for anyone who wants to embrace it.

### Hive Getting Involved

For those who are on **Hive** for a while, we are seeing how this is appearing right before our eyes.

This year, 2021, was very good to those who are involved in @splinterlands.  Not only did the individual holdings, prices in USD, skyrocket, but the game keeps expanding and growing.  As these words are written, there is an airdrop giving each participant [SPS tokens](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/splinterlands) based upon their Splinterlands holdings.  This will continue into next year.

There is also a drop of vouchers which are required to purchase the next packs that are being released.  Here again, we see the opportunity for enormous gains to be made.

Splinterlands is not the only one providing this.  Most are aware of [the snapshot that is taking place on January 6th](https://peakd.com/hive-112019/@spknetwork/spk-network-or-larynx-miner-claim-drop-90-days-until-snapshot).  This is by the **SpkNetwork** which is issuing out LARNYX tokens on a 1:1 basis for each HIVE.

Just this week, it was announced that those who are involved in Cubfinance, which is a project under the Leofinance umbrella, will be getting [an airdrop based upon the CUB tokens one are holding](https://leofinance.io/@leofinance/introducing-polycub-or-preparing-for-launch-tokenomics-airdrop-details-and-partnerships).  This is to distribute the PolyCub token which will extend that project to another blockchain.

Speaking of Leofinance, there was another piece of news in the last week that is aligning with this overall concept.  The Leofinance mobile application was approved on Android (still awaiting Apple).  In addition to giving mobile users a completely new experience, this is the application that is being forked to create ProjectBlank.  

This long discussed project is now moving closer to hitting market.  We have no date as of yet.  However, with that application comes a new token.  As you can guess, there will be an airdrop to the holders of the LEO token.

All of this epitomizes how people are getting extra rewards simply by being active and involved.  Whatever the pathway, whether it is staking tokens, playing a game, or getting rewarded for Proof-of-Brain activities, the opportunity to fill one's bags is expanding.

It really is as simple as show up, get involved, and build over time.  For those doing that, **life changing money** is starting to appear for some.

### Metaverse In The Making

There is a lot of discussion about the Metaverse and the companies looking to get involved with that.  While we can take exception to what the term is becoming, we cannot deny the shift to the virtual realm is underway.  In short, the Internet is going 3-D.

This will radically alter a lot of what we do.  It truly is the epitome of moving from **atoms-to-bits**.  For this reason, we are going to require a completely new monetary system along with a new way of distributing ownership.  Blockchain and cryptocurrency provide that.

What is overlooked in much of this is the fact that we are already building the foundation for that transition.  Whereas Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple garner the headlines, for a number of years, blockchain developers were hard at work already paving the way.  In short, we are all part of the creation of the **next generation Internet**.  What the centralized entities are planning is now what we will have going forward.

The union between and digital and physical world is underway.  Imagine the time where you can "win" a Coca-Cola in a game and then swap that NFT for a real one.  That is an example of the world we are going to be involved with.

Do not be shackled by your mind.  There is a brand new frontier opening up that is going to generate hundreds of trillions of dollars in wealth.  The key is that blockchain truly does democratize it in a manner that is inclusive rather than exclusive.  

We know this is not sitting well with the present establishment since an abundant economy hacks away at their control.  Nevertheless, to each person who participates, we are forming a new system which is based upon abundance.  This repeatedly keeps driving another stake through the heart of the scarcity model.

For those on Hive, the **Age of Abundance** is starting to appear in a big way.
