RE: Steemit Is The Future Of Work
Once we get to the point where we are living in an abundance economy rather than a scarcity economy everyone should be free to do what they enjoy and make a living wage. Steemit is just one piece of that puzzle. In the future we could see people getting paid in tokens for doing basic things. What about healthcare tokens for allowing health data to be collected and utilized in a decentralized ledger? How about food credits/coins/tokens for providing retail shopping data or consumption data? What happens if we solve the energy problem and finally get off fossil fuels so we have free (or nearly free) electricity for all?
Of course there will still be new problems to be solved, but by freeing up so much of humanities time and brain power it's likely these problems could get solved even more quickly.
Personally I've only just begun with Steemit, but have been part of the "gig" economy for seven years already. I can see the huge potential waiting for us here and in related projects such as DTube.
The future is coming at us faster than we can imagine, and humans will need to flex their dominant trait - the ability to adapt - very rapidly and powerfully. This will almost certainly lead to another massive evolutionary shift, and one that leaves the world and the human race much better off.
Thank you for your post @moneyinfant.
You understand what is going on having lived it for so long. The health data is absolutely just one other idea. As are solar tokens. Exercise tokens. Proper nutrition tokens. TV watching tokens. Porn tokens. You name it.
Look at my reply to calatorulmiop above...there is a link in there for a basic income program that starts distribution next month. I believe you understand the path that is being taken and how that is a bridge to the ultimately state referred to in your comment.
Awesome project going on at Mannabase from what I saw. I signed up to get in and learn more, because it could be huge in alleviating poverty, not just overseas, but right here at home.
Looks like a lot of work needs to be done still with the coin - $300k market cap is tiny. And just one exchange.
Of course the exchanges are another piece of the puzzle in the crypto space. A solution for exchanging and spending coins seamlessly has yet to be developed. Something like Shapeshift, but with atomic swaps for most if not all coins. Decentralized, and with something like a debit card that can be used anywhere cash is used.
The marketcap is incorrect since there are more coins distributed than what they are showing.
Nevertheless, the hiatus really allowed them to clean up some matter...we should see the switch from GRT to MAN or MANN soon...only two exchanges trade it.
As all of these we will see where it goes but it is a project I believe in.
Thanks for supporting it @moneyinfant.
It's an ambitious and potentially historical project. One that is easy to get behind and believe in given the problem it seeks to address.
