A Shift from Agrarian to Investarian Society | Indonesia
Meanwhile, people still need food to consume; produced by agriculture or even manufacture. The first and second world country have no problem driving their tendency of production toward manufacture, but the third world country might. So traditional marine fisheries; livestock and crop raising are still a prime choice.
Indonesia has been retaining those traditional ways. Most of the crop fields are plowed with mattock all day long. Livestock raised in few sum in a family house. Fisher rides morning wind to sail in a canoe. They harvest what is coming from the effort at the fresh and best quality. No wonder people consider Indonesian foods among the tastiest.
In reality, those hard works do not pay off accordingly. The government doesn't see that economic improvement is necessary considering the low-cost lifestyle they have. Thus minimize any growth of the sector is capable of doing.
Concurrently, the harsh globalization condition necessitates any inhabitant of the globe to adapt. A week without smart-information will fetch you enough, even if you don't care about politics and global economy. But soon you'll be forced to, at the least you'll be bothered if the food you usually eat rise 20% in price.
However, modern technology can tame this brassy situation. Tokelau, an island country in Pacific has increased its GDP more than 10% by registration of domain name. Their combined land area is no more than 11 km2.
Even when a nation wants it or not, any information that penetrated their population is either a forte or a frailty. A new smartphone release might be a direct kick to the society multi-sector status; either social or economic. A leak of confidential subjects might even lead to a raucous separatist activity.
Red String
All those globalization phenomenon force Indonesian populace to adapt into the cyber world. The farmer community starts aging, and the young educate themselves to become employees. That's what happens in the 20th century. Presently with the help of reachable hi-tech gadget, the newly emerging residents could conceive data into a well-structured plan; short and long-term.
The long-term one unquestionably included investment. The initial phase of this evolving era mostly involved the physical form of stock such as gold and property. Land property disputes were numerous at times.
Why physical?
It's because the majority of Indonesian are Muslim and sharia economy was nowhere to be found. They pondered that share-holding is too speculative and grey as close as gambling. So they preferred the safe and sound tangible trading. The more spreading investors were mostly Chinese.
Agri-invest Mind
Is investment a drastic adjustment for agrarian people of Indonesia? Not really. The hardworking farmer spent their life in the development of local wisdom closely related with raise-invest exercise.
The farmers are sensitive and well-informed on the subject of weather, pest, and soil quality. They plow fields and plant seeds at the timely month.
Their raise-harvest practice is the foundation of investment, if only they realize it.
Concern
Experts assess that without a proper approach to this side, abundant resources might be wasted. Indonesian stock exchange is fundamental to preserve the economic climate. Even sharia banking was built to accommodate the better prospects the nation has.
Present
The booming of cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin with the help of a pocket-reach smartphone has vigorously awakened the finance psyche within Indonesian. The regulation-less blockchain unleashed a new prospect of fortune - if not danger - that the non-expert might be capable of grasping.
Perhaps, a new realm of digital existence is being made; the possibility of prosperity, and probably also difficulty, await.
