The Great Currency Race

I remember it was March of 2009 when I first heard about a global currency. I was working as an Ambassador at a hedge fund firm The HighStreet Group in Tampa Florida. We hadn't yet experienced the global meltdown (and by "we" I mean the world) so when I heard some guy talk about how this currency was going to change the world, I thought he was another conspiracy nut or a 2012 "prepper".

But the world did suffer from the tyranny of the World Banking system yet again. This time, with little or nothing that could possibly slow down or give pause, the world banks decided to bleed the planet. Unbeknownst to the general population, someone had already done something about the situation.

That someone was a hacker with the online name of Satoshi Nakamoto (and reportedly really named Craig Steven Wright. Read article here) and this badass genius, did the kewlest thing ever, he set the world free from the global banking cartel. In 2008 during the last day of October he launched a open source code to the world and by January 2009, while still unknown to the world, every human being with a computer was financially free of the tyranny of the world's banking system.

By the following year, it was The World Cup and it was set to be hosted in the Western Cape of South Africa. At the same time fibre optic cable was being implemented so that South Africa could facilitate the many foreign vacationers who came for the games. With the implementation of a valid internet, cryptocurrency had penetrated South Africa and the rest of the World.

But more interesting what happened was a very quiet gun shot as the global race began to master the limited gigahash that determined the wealth within Cryptocurrencies. Since 2010 every country has quietly snowballed their efforts to learn and implement mining facilities, however Africa appears to be lagging in this race.

In India, in the northern areas of Pakistan they have make shift mines everywhere merging low tech racks built out of wood with state of the art ASCII cards running algorithms by the gigahash generating far more than 3 bitcoin every minute. (Their claims) With wall mourned gen one air conditioners in rooms that look like they're in a Mosque and not some warehouse they still churn out enough to have the entire 1.337 billion population of once underpaid American and Britain outsourced IT department, are now coding their chakras off but in cryptocurrencies and for themselves.

So whats going on the 1.236 billion in Africa? Why is it going so slow? In Nigeria and Ghana there are some serious interest in Bitcoin mining but in SA the most of the reports are stating the mining efforts are actually either based in America with pooled mining, working with Asian companies to trade already mined bitcoin and ethereum and leaving low income people out of the game entirely In the UAE, they have made the most notable stake in this global race by training all women to learn the needed coding in cryptocurrencies and they train them for free. One, hearing such reports conjures imagination of a cryptocurrency mine in every home. Even if it's not true its apparent that most countries are upping their crypto position. But what about the 325 million Americans? What does the land of Disney, Ford, Apple Inc and hip hop music industry think of what's going on?

Well the bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency's evaluation is still based off of the US dollar and it appears for them that's enough for now. Americans have enough on their plate with their new reality tv show President and his nutty wall. So what if people want to outsource the location and value their "internet money" in Amaracah, who cares? Right?

But what of Africa and more specifically South Africa? Surely S.A. has the ability to rocket forward to maintain a mastery in mining? Well, I've not seen it…YET. So like most entrepreneurs, where there is a need there is an opportunity. I've set out to train and inform those who migrate here all about the Industry. My goal is to not only put S.A. back in the race but mine the SHIT out of the 21 million Bitcoin and pwn Ethereum just for kicks! #HeruVision198
