Well, I'm screwed then. I have no money, I have disabled adult kids with me for life, I'm a single mom. I have no idea how all this works (not techy at all) and it is incredibly confusing to the max...
VK I know you tried, you explained a lot, but my brain just couldn't follow it. I'm too old I guess to really understand this. And it seems really scary to have 'money' that is held online somewhere that could disappear at any moment. What prevents us from losing money this way? I hear about this coin or that coin disappearing and people losing A LOT of money and I go cold all over. I can't afford to lose money, I can barely make it paycheck to paycheck.
What happens to people like us, if the 'wealth is redistributed' through XRP? If that is the only way to see any money coming my way, then I'm screwed.
Thanks for trying to help others get some of that money, and you did try hard to explain, I remember. Some of us just can't make it happen for one reason or another :(
I'm with you, Laurie. Start talking economics and my eyes glaze over. I just don't understand it. And I'm in a situation where I can't afford to be losing money. I thought we were working to get out from underneath control by others.

We homestead, have for 35+ years and I grew up prepping with parents who had lived it (great depression and living on a remote cattle ranch). So for me, most of my 'wealth' is in knowledge and skills and everything I have put into homesteading. The tools, the livestock, etc.
I don't want to rely on anything financial, but I do worry about my autistic adult kids when I'm gone. Having some kind of financial savings would help them and that's what my worry is. I thought if 'the wealth' is redistributed through XRP or crypto, I should try for that - but just can't wrap my head around it, and no funds! So, I'll keep carrying on as usual ;)
To me, your way of life is far more pure than any financial wiz-kid and that God will provide for that purity.

I never thought of it like that before. I do know the knowledge and skills have been hard won/leraned sometimes, and are now a normal way of life for us.
It is a good life. But with the cost of things rising, with hay and feed costs double and triple what they were last year, with grain/flour up, etc money is always part of any lifestyle, including homesteading.
My kids keep telling me we need to do a youtube channel so we can teach others how to do things (many homestead youtubers are glitzy and are only there to make money and copy what other YT's do, my kids want to have a channel to help others and let people see the reality of homesteading/prepping). I told them we can try in January, at least it will keep them busy, lol!
God has been very good to us, always coming thru at the 11th hour (which is hard sometimes). I would be lost without Him...
Its difficult for any of us to know what this new world will look like but we know that VK pushed home-gardening hard throughout the summer so maybe your kids are on to something. Because you're right, most people don't know the first thing about self-sufficiency and doing with only what you need, not what you want.
LOL, We could all use a good dose of that.
