Funny thing is I checked you out because i saw the post complaining about you upvoting yourself, but just clicking this one post I'm already liking what you have to say, and they way you live( I've always wanted a VW bus too).
I feel the decentralized nature of crypto / blockchain is the start of a new type of society, one where there are no positions of power for anyone to lobby, or get drunk off their own power in. I feel eventually democracy will become a semi direct democracy, where we vote on issues in our local communities, and the global laws are generated from the collective results of all the communities, like a hive mind.
I just joined Steem myself because I also want to find a bit more freedom, and make a living off this and crypto. I like to travel and longboard mountains in beautiful places, so hopefully that will get me some good followers. So aside form the occasional self upvote, got any tips for someone just starting out?
