This is a list of blogs, videos, and updates surrounding my journey into the blockchain ecosystem as a Microprenuer. I am finding my space, building my castle, and building the better world inside of our New Normal!
Hello from Dallas, Texas! As someone who lives in Texas I have witnessed and experienced the growth of the Technology sector, and the opportunities it can provide. I have tried to leverage the internet and technology in many ways that could help me so I could help others.
In the 80s, the Internet provided a new world to some, and to others, it seemed foreign and complicated.
Most people on the planet have missed out on the wealth and opportunity that technology has provided us. While it may have improved certain aspects of our lives most of us certainly have not financially benefited in a significant way.
Now, with the advent of the Blockchain, it is becoming more decentralized and easier to use. But it still takes expertise and literacy to leverage the power to unlock these opportunities. However, I was lucky enough to discover the company called Crowdpoint Technologies through someone I know. You may know him as Dr. Rashid Buttar.
Crowdpoint is an exciting concept for the average global citizen because it provides us an incredible opportunity to participate in the next wave of technology called the blockchain.
Today, I have gained my freedom by empowering my family and me to build an online presence that sits on top of the blockchain.
As a distributor/reseller, of something I believe in, I can streamline the growth of my own business and financial independence while empowering my friends and family around the world to participate in the next massive Internet of Things opportunity.
Here’s a link to learn a little bit about me and what I do from Dallas, Texas.
You and I have something in common. Well, there are many things we have in common but one I know for certain. We are under the oppression of surveillance capitalism. If that sounds like an unfamiliar term out of an old Orwell book, you are on the right page, and allow me to clarify.
I remember the day my wife told me the beautiful news that she was pregnant. It was such an exciting, yet private moment for us to share only. We talked about all the things that would change, stay the same, and all the new memories we would create together.
The very next day my wife and I reported something strange to one another. We both had received advertisements on our social media apps for products we had never received before. I had scrolled into a video showing me the latest and greatest baby crib. My wife had visited a website sidelined with ads that were determined to convince her she needed a breast pump and diapers at only 6 weeks pregnant.
You might be thinking: “Well, that happens all of the time, and it is helpful!” Please allow me to clarify what is happening here. Apple is listening to your every word to find key phrases. Apple records your data and then sells it to Google. Google buys your stolen data and resells it to marketers and advertisers, and without your permission, sell your products using your exploited personal data.
A once beautiful and private moment has now been exploited into a human identity slave trade. This is happening on a massive scale with unimaginable complexities. What if I told you the blockchain could help you create your decentralized ID and provide privacy, protection, and performance? And with your decentralized ID, you can use smart contract technology to enforce companies to a set of rules and standards they must follow to engage with you. And if you so choose, to engage with your data, they must pay you a percentage of the profits they earn from using or selling your data.
This is the beauty and the power of the 4th industrial revolution. I am partnered with a company that has built the infrastructure to leverage this exact scenario. Crowdpoint Technologies provides a platform for you and me to create transactions with each other for high-quality products and services built by businesses, such as Advanced Medicine, that share our ideals. As an added value they provide us the ability to create our decentralized ID and free ourselves from the Human Identity slave trade. The blockchain is like Morpheus, and you and I are like Neo, and we are being offered a choice. Do you accept the red pill or the blue pill?
Blockchain, Crypto, NFTs, oh my! There has been an increasing buzz happening around these topics in both the underground and the mainstream media outlets. Some of us have zoomed into the cryptocurrencies and either traded for wins and losses or used them to hold our savings. Others have dived deep into the world of NFTs and are trying to sift through the bad projects to find the good ones. (Veefriends --- you are welcome). I have dabbled in both, but I am mostly with the crowd that has tried our best to understand the long-term business applications behind blockchain technology.
One of my jobs has given me the unique experience of getting an inside look at the technology projects happening within some of the largest financial services companies in the world. A company I work with partnered with the technical leaders and engineers of these corporations such as Santander Bank, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Visa, Capital One, and many more.
I learned about the many internal projects that have been underway focused around building privatized blockchains, integrating cryptocurrency services, and researching NFT development.
This is what made me realize that this new blockchain technology was gaining mass adoption, and the effects it would have on our world would be similar, if not greater, to the rise of the Internet. This could mean that we, the common people, would have another opportunity to “get in” now and be just as effective as the “big guys”. So, what is a blockchain?
By now, you might have watched a YouTube video explaining the blocks, and hashes, and chains. In its simplest form, the blockchain is a digital ledger. You see a ledger every time you check your bank statement and quickly look at what is going out and what is coming in. It is a series of records. Sean O’Brehm, Founder of Crowdpoint Technologies, explains it as such: “These records are continually expanding and changing. Every record is referred to as a block. Imagine a Rubix Cube, and each little color represents different contractual obligations or other details. Each one of these blocks contains a unique digital timestamp”. The purpose is to maintain a permanent and tamper-proof record of a digital transaction. And so, the blockchain acts as this massive decentralized database.
This technology is creating a level playing field for small business owners.
In our world where things are controlled by the few, corporate America has monopolized profitable business in this economy. I believe if we become literate in this technology and the applications it presents, we can fight surveillance capitalism, and create new opportunities for each other.
We are going to define the blockchain, understand the technology, and learn why it is so disruptive.
We will ask questions like “How does that impact the banking industry”? “What are examples of public and private blockchains”? “What innovations are happening within financial services”? “What are the blockchain uses each of us can leverage”? “What is the role of blockchain technology in future capital markets, and Exchange Trading Funds”?
“The blockchain is going to be bigger than the dot COM boom of the 90s, however, like the dot COM boom, there will be a bubble burst. But it is more likely to be around crypto technologies. So, we are going to spend time separating the value of the blockchain from cryptocurrency, which has been the focus today” – as said on the Pete De La Torre Show by Sean O’Brien-Brehm.
I am a MicroPreneur!
What is a MicroPreneur? I have always had this image in my mind of traditional entrepreneurs working towards an endless line of growth. I think of myself as a MicroPreneurs, which is someone who knows they can be happy even if their companies never appear on the top of the Forbes list, but are truly helping others.
After all, if you don't start giving now, you probably won't give then. I want to take care of people, and I want to participate in an emerging global shift. MicroPreneurs are value creators in action.
What is my business? I'm lucky; it is my passion. If you had to summarize what I do - I am a digital shepherd. I provide quality products to help the Human Identity enter the Blockchain.
It's a great profession; I make money distributing and reselling something I love while safeguarding the most precious asset in all of History: The Human Identity.
We are partnered with high-quality products and services within the Advanced Medicine Exchange. These products come from high-quality businesses that care about each ingredient, pristine sourcing, and truthful data that creates powerful results.
When my customers buy from me, I give them an added service; I onboard them onto the Blockchain. In this process, they can authorize their own digital Identity made by them for them.
My customers and I both experience wins. I get to help others learn about vital products created by altruistic businesses, and they get a chance to protect their privacy.
I'm not alone; I am building this together with over 1,000 people who care about the privacy, protection, and performance of our communities.
So, if you are reading this, would you like to earn your digital freedom? Your onboarding is free with every purchase.
When the Internet hit the mainstream, it was a floodgate being opened. We were running around in cyberspace with wide eyes and excitement about the freedom and possibilities of our new world. The Internet has changed our world, mostly for the better, and it's true to a degree, we have gained certain forms of freedom with its access.
There is, however, a dark side to the Internet and I'm not just talking about the literal Dark Web. I'm talking about the construct of an ever-growing echo chamber and cattle pin that has been built around us like a digital prison keeping us in a small radius with pre-determined choices.
I was given an example one day from the CEO of a blockchain company called Crowdpoint Technologies. He asked me if I could imagine a small city with a 100-mile radius, and the 1,000 residents of that city had only their two feet to get around. Without the use of a car, it would seem to the residents that the city was a vast open space filled with endless possibilities. In reality, the prison walls were just outside of our vision, and the streets were built to guide you into the stores built by the highest bidders.
The awakening of this surveillance capitalism has opened the doors for a new concept - a decentralized version of the internet, based on open-source blockchain networks. "Several projects are seeking to replace key internet services with blockchain-based alternatives. For example, Filecoin is seeking to replace centralized cloud storage providers with a decentralized file storage network, allowing users to rent out their unused hard drive space in exchange for cryptocurrency. The files are encrypted, thereby protecting data while allowing users to rent external storage" as mentioned by Investopedia.
Other startups are exploring how to create decentralized platforms within the Internet to allow users to exchange data (pictures, text, etc.) without the need for a centralized authority. It would prevent even the access that application developers have to user's data.
There needs to be a wide-scale and pragmatic approach and it will be a long road to build this out. We are amid a complete rebuilding of our digital world as we know it. My message to all of you is to place yourself in a position to be part of this, rather than a passive observer.
Have you ever been the victim of identity fraud? You get a call from your bank asking you if you have made XYZ purchases in the past 24 hours, and you nervously think through everything you may have purchased only to realize someone has stolen your data. The only thing you can do is freeze all of your accounts and order new cards, and even then, you feel uneasy as nothing has been done to further prevent the same thing from happening again. Some have had it far worse, and as business owners they have been victims of extortion and fraud, putting their business at risk of failure and closure.
We are becoming ever-increasingly dependent ON technology, but lacking literacy IN technology. With the advent of blockchain, we have an opportunity to get in front of one of the greatest technological waves of this century. Are you preparing for the changes that will occur? Brand new business models will be created, and a new sharing economy will emerge. The way we make transactions and protect ourselves will evolve. Are you ready for the innovation in privacy and protection?
I am onboarding myself onto the blockchain so I can protect myself and my data with the help of the most advanced data protection technology that our world has yet discovered. Does this sound complicated? It's very simple.
You are unique. In my opinion, you are a Child of God and there is no one else like you. From a digital perspective, you are made up of thousands of fields of data. These fields are compiled of information such as what car you drive, what job you hold, what gender you are, what purchasing behaviors you have, what browsing patterns you hold, etc. These fields can be collected and tokenized into a Human Identity NFT. You can be a non-fungible token on the blockchain!
And once you are integrated into the blockchain we can leverage the technology to protect our data and our identities. We can utilize smart contracts to enforce sets of rules and standards on companies to control how they interact with us. We can prevent data theft and extortion and get paid based on the data we output and a company's willingness to pay for our valuable data. They pay for it already so why not let them pay US for OUR data?!
This is, among many other things, what we are doing over at Crowdpoint Technologies. We have built a digital marketplace offering high-quality products created by small and mid-size businesses that care about you and your data protection. As an added value, we offer free onboarding and we create your decentralized ID. Are you ready to take your freedom back online?
I had the pleasure of being one of the guests for session 5, part 2 on the Pete De La Torre Show! In this episode, we were joined by the CEO of Crowdpoint Technologies, Sean O'Brien-Brehm.
I and a few others gave our personal stories regarding the blockchain journey and the impact that Decentralized IDs have on us.

Today, the world has moved away from Capitalism to Neo Feudalism. More and more, big corporations are taking control of cultures and individuals through money, policies, practices, and surveillance capitalism to the point that they control many aspects of everyday private lives.
Beyond the Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment, and Time variables today, a new kind of oppression has emerged.
Big Technology Companies freely exchange the Human Identity are using surveillance capitalism to create a human identity slave trade.
Suppose the current digital revolution is characterized as a fusion of technologies that blurs the lines. In that case, it should also be transformative in how the Human Identity is emancipated from the current identity slave trade is happening today.
CrowdPoint's charter is to empower the microprenuer who own Small and Medium Businesses to harness the power of Big Data, A.I., Compaction, and Blockchain technologies to participate in a Blockchain Ecosystem Exchange.
