Most People Don't Care About Money

If more people cared - like really, truly, actually cared - about money, more people would be rich. The fact that more people aren't rich partially confirms the reality that most people don't care about money.

Now that's an uncommon belief. And potentially offensive, not to mention uncomfortable.

But I think there's something to it.

That said, I think more people are (finally) beginning to care about money.

People are literally creating their own currencies.

Not only that, but I think we are witnessing the genesis of a world where more people care about more things - like really, truly, actually care - than ever before.

The problem, though, is that the number of people who *really care* is still relatively small, so most people, perhaps especially people who *really care* haven't yet picked up on this epoch shift, and thus still have yet to realize how they can unite and aggregate the population of individuals who *really care* about something or other.

I say 'realize' because I'm pretty sure the means towards accomplishing just that has already appeared. And of course, it involves money.

While a penny for your thought probably isn't enough to get you or anyone really to care about something, you'd be surprised how far a quarter or dollar goes. You'd also be surprised how many people pass up $10 or $20 in exchange for caring about something without giving it a second thought.

These are observations gleaned from Cent, the quietest revolution the world hasn't heard of, yet.

What I've found on Cent is that attaching money, even a trivial amount, to a content post as a crowd bounty that is automatically distributed to multiple users really works wonders in attracting thoughtful responses on-demand from people who *really care*.
