*This is Part Three of a three part SIMPLE look at what I’ve discovered on my journey into decentralized platforms, our new economy. My intention is to inspire smart action as we become aware of what’s really going on in the bigger picture. It’s my belief that it’s up to us individually to do our due diligence. I’m just lighting the fire. I’ve been a newbie, I know what it’s like, and I’m still learning. It’s easy to get overwhelmed about the HUGE changes happening right now in our monetary system, let alone understand what the blockchain is. The key to truly grasping this powerful world is education, knowing opportunity when you see it, and an open mind.* Continuing on from my previous two posts, this series is inspired as an introduction into the Crypto Sphere. Now we’re looking at our options, ways to step into the markets. **What is the best way to get cryptocurrencies?** The easiest way to get cryptocurrencies is to buy them. But...which ones? And how much Bitcoin should we buy? What if I don’t have much money? Do we spend the BTC, or hold it? Is it an investment or a new economy breaking through the centralized barriers? We all must do our own due diligence and make our own choices. Following is MY opinion gleaned over time... **The best way to get cryptocurrencies is to earn them and grow your portfolio for the long term.** As I mentioned in previous posts, [Henry James,](https://www.facebook.com/hjbanayat) the Founder of Compumatrix, is my Crypto-Hero Harry Potter❤️ He & his team of brilliant wizards have use their magic to create an easy way to EARN cryptocurrencies, and inspire stability in the realm, while utilizing the DEX, a Bitshares driven decentralized trading platform where we can buy/sell/trade just about any asset on the planet. **We have our own Ecosystem.** ![binary-1536651_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma3N1ikbjrXdWAVqVTMJNXJ1xSrScM41Fu3tiBduFcqUn/binary-1536651_1280.jpg) **What does that mean?** ♥We have a *simple* way to earn cryptos via compounding. ♥We have a decentralized wallet. ♥We have a decentralized trading platform. ♥We have 37 (at the time of this writing) assets (for growth). Essentially, we have everything needed to begin your own crypto business within a community that has been in creation since 2006. Thirteen years. THAT is commitment. With our list of assets, our DEX offers multiple ways to buy/sell/trade, according to our interests. For example, one of our tokens can be utilized for larger purchases (VERVE Loans), where another toke intended to be used to pay utility bills (ELOAD). We also offer Trading Bundles, for the non-traders who want to learn, or just contribute to our evolution while earning. Security & ease of use are the focus, making it accessible to anyone who can use a smartphone. We are always evolving into the next best thing. **Remember this:** *The intention of Compumatrix is to create a stable decentralized financial platform for cryptocurrencies that is used worldwide, peer to peer (P2P).* **The people choose FREEDOM** ![hand-1917895_640.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaeSkciYgEC75ynhorBo1FH9sDe2cK3ugrC6ryTZBgJL4/hand-1917895_640.png) **Have you ever felt you’re a part of something MUCH bigger than you?** Henry James is one of those rare humans who is on a mission and is FULLY committed to his dream. He is very humble, too. My admiration goes beyond infinity for his tenacity, intelligence, creativity, and huge heart. This is a man who is sincerely true to himself. An example for all of us to respect & follow. **There will be other ecosystems created like ours. We will rock our Universe as the first.** Educating myself about cryptos & decentralization has been a life changing event for me. As someone who never learned how to use our “old” monetary system to my advantage, and who doesn’t fall into the mainstream ways of earning money, I am forever grateful to Satoshi Nakamoto and every single Creator, Developer, Designer, Teacher, Dreamer and Lover of Bitcoin & Blockchain technology, for their vision and perseverance. The opportunity is ripe to grow your dreams and take our power back, don't you think? I know you do :) We can do this. As soon as Compumatrix is ready for the masses, I have ideas. Until then... **Be True,** Liza *For clarity: I do not “make money” by helping others in Compumatrix. Just like those who help others in Steemit don't get "paid" for it. We are growing a new economic system. It's about what WE can do together to empower our lives and help others along the way.*
