Thank you for this interview Jerry and @Aggroed. It's Really good to read the passion and motivations from one of our Witnesses, and learn how much good work and support he has given to Steemit.

Removing yourself from the system is a bold and brave move that takes lots of courage and conviction. It is a step that I also took 15 years ago. Even though i haven't always had money since then, I will never regret the decision because it has shaped my life and experiences in such a positive way. If I would have stayed at my high paid Internet job back in 2001 I would most likely be very rich, and very miserable.

Now we have all found Steemit we Know there is another way that flips the entire paradigm of Capitalism on its head. I would probably stake my life on Steemit because this IS the world I want to live in, and I would rather have nothing and be free than a pawn in big brother's game.

A huge high five and respect to ALL the witnesses and whales who have stood by Steemit even when times were tough. I'm sure the temptation to withdraw huge gains must be there, but it speaks volumes about your committment, as well as the Steemit ecosystem that most people do not do so!

I still find it hard to explain Steemit to people because i feel like I need to rewire their brains before they will be able to understand it! ;-)

Brilliant Interview Guys!
