Hi Maria - my consolation for the friends you have lost due to government incompetence, but I am happy that you realise that you have achieved more than most... family, home, freedom to fish.

The truth is... life is getting harder 98% of the world every year as the other 2% simply print their claim for world's resources. This Knight is hoping for a change to the system soon. But he also expects much pain before this occurs. You have made a smart move coming to Steemit though, as STEEM and other cryptos could be a catalyst for change and early adopters may be able to protect their wealth within.

Best wishes.
