Living around the world: tourism and blockchain
Who has never dreamed of giving up everything and going on a long journey at least once? One of those trips that do not have a real destination or expiration date: leaving and don’t know where you will be, and when, and with whom you will return …
For several decades, a traditional lifestyle that revolves around work, family, buying an house and other things, has become practically impossible for an ever increasing number of people. The percentage of youth employment is always lower and even when one is hired, the contract is fixed-term or per season. Conditions that do not make it possible to open a mortgage or to put aside the phantom “nest egg”. There are those who continue to live with their parents or in shared rent, supporting themselves with odd jobs, and those who abandon everything and go on a journey.
Choosing to travel because a future no longer exists or has never existed in the place where one was born, raised or where one is living, is one of the most pragmatic reasons, which however does not necessarily determine continuing to move. What, on the other hand, pushes someone to travel without ever stopping? Saint Augustine wrote that “the world is like a book, staying at home is like always reading the same page”. Or to paraphrase Ndjock Ngana, “living in one place and knowing only one way of existing is a prison”.
Many people will recognize themselves in these words, they will feel they fully understand their meaning, feel on the skin and inside the bones the sense of intolerance towards monotony and routine, the drive towards the unknown, the desire for knowledge and encounter with it. which is something else, to then discover it is part of us. Traveling is the oldest form of encounter. As Marco Aime has wisely illustrated, it is a practice that always implies a break with everyday life and our habits, both at the level of space and at the level of interpersonal relationships.
Although travel, as a practice, is surrounded by a romantic aura and an adventurous spirit, choosing to live while traveling is certainly not a comfortable solution. Rather, it pushes you to leave your comfort zone, to collide and overcome your personal limits, to challenge yourself in your practical and relational skills, not only with others, but also with yourself. The traveler’s mind, as Eric J. Leed said, changes during the journey, his perceptive abilities are strengthened and it can be said that in some way he is a different person.
What if we prolong this state? What if we made travel a way of life?
However, there is a difference between living on the street and living on the street, between being homeless and not owning a house. FION coin is a revolution in the world of travel, which will allow to combine the rights of use of a home with the pleasures of being able to have it wherever you want, passing from one place to another.
Why do blockchain and travel get along well?
Those who work in the tourism sector manage enormous amounts of money and above all data every day. Being able to use the blockchain means more security for transactions and for the customer’s assets.
Let’s think about data management: today it is as if they were managed in “silos”. Large companies, such as TripAdvisor, Booking, Expedia, Airbnb have large amounts of data and have the right to choose whether or not to make them available to other companies for a fee – although that data is not owned by them, but by operators and users. . The blockchain will create the conditions for a freer market for data, in which the owner of the data can freely decide whether and to whom to offer it, again without intermediation.
Since Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper Bitcoin, and later cryptocurrencies, have become synonymous with the blockchain. This is because it adds value and increases safety; it allows the system to be more secure (no forgery, control of one’s own funds).
Thanks to FION coin we will have another method to manage your value, it will be possible to remunerate those who collaborate in the project voluntarily for free with tokens, through bonuses. Once the project is consolidated, the Fiorino (FION) will have the potential to take on a value and, in that case, they can also be resold, in full agreement with the freedom that owns your own private keys confers. Furthermore, with FION coin it is already possible to partially buy apartments with cryptocurrency.
