Welcome to the Wealth to Health Project

From the title, you might be a bit skeptical about why I’m writing this first post, but please hang in there – I have a good reason.

First off, this post is about using Blockchain and Cryptocurrency wealth-building capabilities for health-building. There are plenty of ordinary approaches to fattening a bank account or getting into shape, but some Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies have shown remarkable growth, resiliency, and flexibility that have real long-term value.

So I’m writing this article about the real value in modern Blockchains, Cryptocurrency, and Smart Contracts. Even if you’re not too familiar with Smart Contracts, you’ve surely heard of NFTs. NFTs are just a specific type of Smart Contracts – more on that later.

Twistabit

I started Twistabit a few years ago, because after researching Ethereum and Smart Contracts and the coding behind them, I realized there’s plenty to like. As a long-time coder myself, it is clear to me that the ability to build Smart Contracts and create Decentralized Applications (DApps) has enormous potential to disrupt many old-school parts of our economy (in a good way).

Incredible Growth

And I have to admit, I was fascinated by the fantastical, almost science-fiction-like value created by the big, popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The rate of change from minisucle values to billions of dollars was eye-popping. Like most people I assumed (wrongly) that it would all turn out to be a Fad or Scam, and everyone would lose all their money, like the Tulip Mania in the 1600’s.

I’m sure a lot of you are somewhat familiar by now with Cryptocurrencies and NFTs going through cycles of very rapid growth in value, then some disappearing entirely, some creating wealth for a short period, some just never getting off the ground, and some becoming enormous successes. One thing they seem to have in common is volatility.

The Point

So my question is, if we build a Cryptocurrency and a set of Smart Contracts (including NFTs) that do create real, long-term value, can we reproduce the excitement, enthusaiasm, enjoyable experience, and real long-term value that Bitcoin did beginning around 2008/2009 and Ethereum did in 2017, while complying with our rapidly evolving regulatory environment and at the same time avoiding any scamminess, hacking, malicious use, or otherwise negative aspects of this new economic and industrial technology.

In my opinion, the answer is yes.

The Proposition

Here’s my proposition to you. I’ve spent a few years building Twistabit and basically wearing all the hats and building a set of products and services that appear to me to be quite valuable and tick all the boxes.

And yet it’s extremely clear that sharing it with other folks, asking for their input and advice, and listening closely to what they really want, is a million times more productive than just building cool things that no one even knows about.

And that’s the key – until other people like what you have built, take ownership of it, and actually use it, you’ve got nothing.

I hope you’ll stick with me and enjoy the ride – the future looks very bright to me (I’m a deliberate, realistic optimist) and who knows? Maybe we’ll all build something to be super excited about!!
