A lot of times when I read your posts I think, 'this guy sounds like me!' I believe that your approach here on Steemit is a good one, to inspire others towards a new way of living on the planet beyond the old centralized control systems. Your material here makes me feel like I'm not alone in my view of what the world is, and what it can become soon when enough of us realize and remember our individual power here in these current moments of creative potential.
Your words bring the feeling that we are dancing on the edge of the old worn out systems and, even better; that we know that there was already a voluntary world being created all along underneath it all-- we individuals already have the intellectual tools to foster this non-violent, natural human cooperation that has been suppressed by society for our whole lives.
Interesting that Utube and twitter have so few trending crypto-related entries. It could be that both of those entities manipulate the numbers on certain topics-- maybe cryptocurrency is more popular than they'd like to indicate. I can imagine larger companies tampering with view counts or any numbers or statistics that might affect popularity in the perception of the users who would have otherwise seen more crypto things-- those crypto things that might mean their certain doom.
Thanks for another great post, I appreciate your work here a lot.
I've got to just second what you just said on a double level. Reading your comment felt like I was reading my own reply to this article that I felt like I wrote. Wait, is I you?
Want to know where the world has to head? Decentralized internet. Think about the control we are under by things like news censorship. Imagine, an internet controlled by its viewers. An algorithm search engine for complete unbiased accuracy, content that is paid for relevancy and helpfulness (Hello Steemit) We just need our own infrastructure to do it. Time to rebuild the World Wide Web
Also this is my first day using Steemit Shoot me a follow @teamsteam if you'd like to see what I have brewing in the future. I think our goals on Steemit are in alignment. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@welcometo.earth/a-love-poem-for-earth-an-introduction-welcometo-earth#comments
I had never thought of a decentralized internet-- that is an exciting idea! It's probably inevitable now, you've let the cat out of the bag!
Google's motto, and it owns YouTube of course, has changed from "Do no evil" to "Do hide evil." They even ruined Google+ doing the same thing. They were filtering out liberty related content, and us liberty lovers were basically talking to ourselves after a while even with public posts.
I remember Google+, but I didn't stick around there long anyway. Maybe all of the liberty-minded people will find Steemit and we'll try this again!
It's the perfect platform for it! :)
It's not even Google though. Its whoever owns the infrastructure in the first place. Comcast AT&T. There are bigger players making the rules here for sure
Agreed. Ultimately, governments own the Internet. That's a serious problem for crypto lovers. Governments are the banks, and the banks control the fiat to crypto and back process. They control the payment systems. And they control the Internet. I wouldn't have all your wealth dependent on those systems. It's a bad idea. :)
