Ah awesome :) Yeah I feel like i notice new layers of depth to the simple concept of "steem" every day. Like how theres the analogy of the sea (whales, dolphins, etc) - but we aren't swimming in water, we're swimming in steem, which is like water but elevated ;)

Also, countries are generally divided by landmass borders. There are many continents, but only one ocean. I would love to know how @dan and @ned came up with the name and what sort of meaning they embedded in it.

Regarding short sighted individuals - I have a feeling that this sort of dodgy behavior is actually a good thing, because it motivates us to get our shit together and start moving mountains.

For this experiment to be a successful alchemy, we need to assemble on a scale far larger than we've seen before - a collaboration of collaborations.. All the foundational elements are here - its just a matter of elevating the conversation and finding effective ways to make big things happen.

It starts with comments like these :)
