We are standing at a junction in the road ahead of us.

The system as we know it is coming to an end. Its on the verge of a complete collapse. Its becoming clearer by the day that our freedom, our independence, our authenticity, our privacy and data ownership is at stake. Meanwhile we are still obligated to fund Governments so they can impose more laws and regulations on us that aren't serving us anymore. They pretend we have a say in what they do although in reality they carry out agenda items through cunning lobbyists that serve the interests of NGO's, Big Tech, Silicon Valley giants, Big Pharma and Big Corporates while many among us more and more feel like we have zero influence. Why do we allow this? They work for us and are paid to protect us. How is that working out?

Have we forgotten to think about ways to take control of our own lives? Is it the conditioning of the mind that begins at a very early age through the school system, the mainstream media and the entertainment industry that has been rigged for this purpose to shape their desired new reality in which they have all the power and we own nothing and be happy? We have been made dependent to rely on an unjust, crumbling pyramidal system. But there is hope! Cracks are starting to appear. People are awakening. Last years chaos of contradictions and interests involved reflect in the current market.

Despite these uncertainties, we are bullish for the entire crypto and Web3 space longer term. And by bullish, we don't even necessarily mean ROI wise. We are bullish about all the new technology, dApps and innovations that the people of the world can use to connect with each other and redesign society based on equality, co-creation, fairness, transparency, propriety and without interference from third parties who want to exert control over you. Taking back ownership and responsibility for your actions. A society built on the basis of self-sovereignty, integrity and dignity.

Our main goal in this is to encourage cross-pollination through education with the aim to bridge the gap between web2 towards web3.

In the upcoming years, a number of things are likely to undergo major change.
We expect to see regions forming the basis of civil society because many technological developments enable the decentralized production of basic human needs. From energy and food to health and education. The Web3 and crypto space are at the forefront and are laying the foundation to do better. Through DAOs organizational structure and decision-making, the interests of individuals and company owners are represented proportionally and on a regional scale. A regional organization adds value for its members in the area and across all aspects of society. Regional organizations are set up to enable them to compete with (global) commercial enterprises.

For a region's economy to grow, it is crucial to set up local payment accounts and use (crypto)currencies with a particular focus. More local currencies will be introduced that may be used to purchase goods and services as well as social services. The products and services provided, such as food and power, might be swapped for these social services. Ambitious advertising should make sure that individuals, businesses, and public organizations are swiftly and properly informed in order to garner mass support, which is essential for the success rate as well.

Regional decentralized networks will emerge. Local digital infrastructures will protect data ownership and significantly decreases reliance on global technology companies. The physical infrastructure is still frequently privately controlled so alternatives will emerge. This will result in a self-sufficient "regional Internet" of computers, data storage, and data processing, with regional governance.

Energy production will be more and more decentralized as well, much like the creation of a local internet infrastructure. We will start to see a change in which users of utilities like water and electricity become producers and get paid for it. To achieve this, efforts towards sustainable solutions and energy neutrality will be made.

There will be fewer links in the food supply chain between the producer and the consumer. Transparency will become more important about food safety, origin and the environmental effect of food production and will be obtained through additional initiatives.

With inflation and scarcity, personal ownership and materialism will lose some of their meaning. Consider, for example, new technical developments such as 3D printing. Co-creation and the sharing economy will become more commonplace.

Schools and courses will become more in line with community goals and less influenced by government initiatives to uphold a rigid system of power and control.

This is what #TakeItBack and The Collective is all about!

We are slowly moving into the right direction although at the moment there are only a few that are able to see this. Keep your optimism and bravery; greater consciousness is definitely within our grasp.
