Abundance should be the state in which humans live as we are part of an abundant world. Money is just one of the infinite manifestations of abundance.
Gold-backed e-currencies are a new way to exchange value between individuals and businesses, at very competitive rates (to the customers as well as to the merchants). Although they are relatively new, they may someday grab a piece of the pie owned today almost exclusively by credit companies which, until recently, were the only avalaible mean to buy goods on the Internet.
You can, as an individual, with the help of e-currencies, enter into investment opportunities that, until the advent of the new means brought by the Internet, were only accessible to the rich and the powerful who had access to informations not avalaible to the layman.
For example, some gold mining companies are about to allow people to buy their shares directly with the help of Goldmoney, one of, if not the, best gold-backed currencies.
We don't think that the world economy is perfect and that all have the same chances, nonetheless, modern technology gives everyone and additional edge and the means to enter this world of live economic information and opportunities that was before open only to a few.
Rarely a rich person doesn't invest some (or a lot!) of his money in many different opportunities. That's how many rich people build fortunes.
Now this world is open to all. Do you know that there exist so-called "High-Yield Investment Plans (HYIPs)" in which people can invest as little as 10$ if they wish. Most of those are pure scams so playing in this arena requires a good nose and the application of some very basic rules that will almost guarantee good returns.
For the more conservative types, now is a good time to invest in precious metals (gold and, even more, silver). We don't know when this market will explode and make us rich, but it will.
Investing in numismatics is another good way to stash your money and to expect, in some cases, good future revenues.
Now you don't have to be rich before you start investing. You've got to invest some of your money to make it fructify and to have as a security for rainy days.
Invest wisely.
Be logical in your choices.
Don't invest all your money.
Diversify (don't put all your eggs in the same basket).
Go for low risks investment (as a security) as well as for a few more risky (but more rewarding when they work), depending on your level of internal security.
Don't invest the grocery's money.
Take your time.
Study the markets.
Read newsletters.
Share the thoughts, the ideas, the information and the money as well with your fellow human beings.
Above all, think about the poors in spirit and in money. Give some of your profits to organizations that take care of them.
