I think that we have to start redefining what ownership is and what has value. People seem to think that buying a TV has value yet crypto is a scam.

Indeed, and there are actually very few things you can "own" these days. Apart from physical cash to a point (until they declare it non-legal tender) and precious metals (until they moan about that) I guess is ownership. Bitcoin seems to be the only ownership they can't touch yet, if its in a private key wallet. - You don't own your home its either mortgaged or try not paying property tax and see what happens. - You don't own your car, even when its paid off try not paying licencing - You don't own stocks and bonds, I mean who actually holds the contracts to those things you just have a piece of paper saying you declare ownershipip Those are basically the two big-ticket items people buy, the other stuff I mean all depreciates to zero a few years after buying it so what's the point of owning something of zero value. Ownership has been eroded, we live in a rent to live world Posted Using [LeoFinance <sup>Beta</sup>](https://leofinance.io/@chekohler/re-tarazkp-61cchj)

Good point bringing in the relativity of ownership (of things you still pay taxes for) but similar relativity can be applied to...everything. - Some Big-Boss figures tried taking their possessions into the afterlife but most archaeologists claim that didn't work; Holding on to the material and even putting too much value in it is giving in to artificial standards. Also, - People close to you own more of your time than you do...or your boss does...or your clients...or your competitors, etc.; <br> <b>Owning</b> in itself is not even guaranteed to be equal to <b>using to your own benefit</b>. So, the trap is...we are ruled by means of our desires. But the norm is for us to be parts of such a society. It's our job to find the best balance.

Yes indeed, there are very few things you can "own" outright that no one has their hand in your pockets. You sure can't take it with you but none of us want to live a crappy life while we are here and owning things, unfortunately, is how we improve our quality of life. I would agree with you our desires definitely, hold us back! It's all about changing your mindset
