Have you seen the abuse on the workplace? The bad company and publisher. They treat their employee like shit, sucking every value they can get from them. Not all of them but just enough of them. The employee which the sole reason the company exist and afloat sometimes face terrible living situation. From PTSD to suicidal thought. They're getting gaslighted that they're inferior and their work achievement is minimized. When they speak their concern they're being told that they are whiny and only can blame other for their misfortune. It's a miracle that these people can still working under such condition.
Have these employee thought a better future? That their suffering is not a fate that they must bear. There must be a better place that they can lean into. There is a way out. There is a place for these employee to stand their own ground. A place where they don't need a company as the middleman to find their customer. You got a place like Fiverr, Patreon, SubscribeStar, Skillshare, Ko-Fi, RedBubble, Youtube and X. Unfortunately some of these company also increasingly become ruthless toward their own creator. They censor and ban the creator that they deemed not aligned with their privacy policy.
The only way out for these people is to become totally independent with no higher entity to control them. Basically they make their own platform. There are many way to achieve this. Build your own store, make a company, make a website. But all of these require significant cost to maintain. He/She also must deal with payment processor to accept the money from customer to fund their operation which they also must ensure that whatever they're doing is aligned with that payment processor agenda.
This is where I believe where crypto can become one of key for people to make a living for themselves, especially Monero and ultimately attain freedom financially. Not just freedom from the government but also freedom from people that only want to extract value and exploit us. Gone the day you need to deal with legal document to setup your business. No more excuse that we are powerless and cannot do anything. With Monero just make a wallet and you are good to go. If you don't have the financial or knowledge capacity to make your own website just make an X or Youtube account and let people know that you accept Monero.
I believe everyone in here already know the potential of Monero already. I just want to put my feelings into words. The adoption still low and it will be an arduous journey ahead. Yet even the hardest stone will crack from a million raindrops.
