In order for any plant to grow and flourish to its full potential, it needs the right conditions.

The soil is all important. Everything grows in the soil. If the soil is good and you have the right amount of sunshine and water everything takes care of itself. Nature follows its own course. We don’t need to interfere. The tiny acorn grows into the majestic Oak tree.

Would the same Oak tree grow in a desert? Would it flourish in a tiny plant pot? What if the soil is barren and polluted?

It is no different for human beings. In order for us to grow and flourish to our full potential, we need the right conditions. In our case, you could think of society as the soil in which we grow. What do I mean when I say “society”? I mean it in the broadest possible sense: our families, our communities, our schools, our friends, our government institutions, our laws, our offices, our work, our recreational spaces, our culture… the world in which we live.

Does our society provide the optimum conditions for human growth and development?

Is each person afforded the appropriate conditions which will allow them to flourish… to become what they were always naturally inclined to become: an artist, a farmer, a carer, an entertainer, a thinker, a writer, a scientist, a mother, a teacher, an explorer?

Is our society more akin to an industrial farm where only one or two crops are considered to be of value? Where rainforests are chopped down to make room for the profitable, consumable crops. Where any inclination towards being an artist or an explorer or a philosopher is suppressed in favour of something more practical… maybe an accountant or a tax consultant or a banker? Not that there’s anything at all wrong with those professions if that’s what you love to do. Does society make it easy for a person to discover what their talent is and does it enable them to cultivate that talent? Is that what school does or in a sense does our current education system do the exact opposite? Does it teach children to question and think for themselves or does it teach them to memorise facts and conform?

Think back to when you were very young. What did you love to do back then? What were you really interested in? Maybe it’s so long ago you find it difficult to remember. Did you have a natural inclination towards something? Were you one of the lucky ones and did you always follow this interest throughout your life or did you stop for some reason? Was it suppressed? When did it become very important to “fit in” and please other people? When did you become pragmatic? When did safety become the most important thing? When did earning lots of money, owning material things and being “successful” become the dream? What is success? Were you ever empowered to follow your real dream or did it always seem unrealistic and unfeasible to do that? Were you ever asked what it is you would really like to do with your life? Have you ever considered these questions before?

If the conditions were right, if the soil was fertile…what would you become?

Over half a year ago, hi.com launched their product that entails a ‘cross-ecosystem mobile payment and financial services platform.’. In essence, users are able to do the same stuff with money as a traditional bank offers. Since it’s a platform on the blockchain, the token hi Dollar is involved. At the time of writing, 1 hi Dollar is worth $1,44.

having only eight active referred users will already add up to $200 monthly rewards!

Every user of the hi platform is able to claim 1 free hi Dollar each day. This alone will grant a total of $44,64 each month. As you can imagine, this monthly return is heavily affected by the price action of the token.

An additional feature of the hi platform is the possibility to earn from invited users. For each invited user, you’ll earn 50% of their rewards. Even after the first day, a newly invited member can earn you an additional $0,72. This might not sound like a lot. However, having only eight active referred users will already add up to $200 monthly rewards! The platform is currently in beta release and you can only enter based on an invite.

Setting up is really easy and can be done in multiple ways. The most convenient way to set up and claim daily rewards is by installing their mobile application. Another really easy way is by using Telegram or Whatsapp. The following screenshot shows the conversation I had with the Telegram bot to set up my account and claim my first reward. The mobile application can be downloaded later and synced.

The platform is currently in beta release and you can only enter based on an invite.

The platform is still under private beta, so referral of an existing user is required. Either use this link hi.com or enter StoicT upon request when using Whatsapp or Telegram!
