You have to realize that Puckerberg, Bezos, Gates , ETC........and all the rest of the so called leaders of the tech wave we are witnessing is a set up. It is the WOLRD WIDE WEB and a web is to catch prey.
It is completely funded by the deep state and controlled by them as well. The people we see in front are just puppets.
I try to keep this in mind, and try to avoid certain stuff that might make me a more profitable target. One thing I do is think of it as the Darpanet, because that reminds me of whence it came.
When you think about how these technologies can be used to bless humanity, you quickly realize that there are reasons it's in the form it's in, and that the primary growth driver of the early internet was pr0n.
Successive generations of children have grown up with access to the vilest pornography that's ever been made, and we can see many results of the impact that has had on them. Fortunately we can't see all the the impacts.
Unfortunately, Zuckerberg is in a position to mold the digital world into something which can be devastating to digital world and by association, the real world too!
Facebook and the like are twisting society into a very bastardized version of reality, then this "new" reality is being pitched as better than the old reality.
I fear for the future of not only the Steemit community, but all the communities that haven't been "Zuckerborged" yet...
It's difficult to even imagine AR apps and games being used to control kids in elementary school failing to create a generation of willing slaves.
Tom DeLonge's new act as a communicator for the TTSA is crafting a global threat that can replace the failed global warming scheme. Half of Hollywood is making aliens.
KIds will buy it, and we'll be sold down the river.
Decentralized cryptocurrency and truther blogs can only do so much.
We'll need more than a few million bloggers. With a 90% YOY churn, Steemit first needs to fix the rewards mechanism so it's not a cryptomining game for 38 whales, and then the real potency of voluntarist government can begin to counter the totalitarian threat.
We need to get Steem around exchanges, too. Banks aren't going to be allies, either. Fakebook has enough users to prompt adoption of it's currency globally. The best we can hope for is to ride that wave, and hang on, hoping reason will prevail and decentralization prove necessary to folks.
If you have a look at my other replies on this post, you'll see I figure there's a lot more than Steemit at stake.
Facebook may take over as a blogging platform for crypto, but I see Amazon as a potentially bigger player, once Bezos recognizes the potential power of minting your own coins.
Amazon already has already extended its tentacles into many commercial arenas such as transportation, delivery and retail. Imagine if every purchase on the Amazon blockchain generated crypto and every time you bought from them you got Amazon bucks, money you could use to buy more stuff from them, or convert or invest? Seems like a no-brainer to me. (that's because my empty head has lot of room for speculative thoughts).
He already uses member-type strategies to get people to use Amazon, like coughing up $100 up front to join Prime and get free shipping, firestick TV, free e-books etc.
Amazon Bucks can't be too far behind, especially given the accounting perpetuity aspects of blockchain technology. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he also owned the entire "distributed" network of computers. I'm no techie or know if this is even possible, but I'm sure control freaks everywhere drool over this possibility.
Companies like Facebook, control and influence everything and that includes steemit future, because ZuckerBorg is a business men and loves to make money, so I see him developing something in the near future that starts to put steemit on check.
The thing that worries me the most about zuckerberg is that he could just purchase 10s of millions of Steempower and make a website that interefaces with steem and build it into facebook. Then give all the people out there access to steemit by giving the steem away only to those loyal to his cause. They would invade and take over, and it would only cost him less than 100 million to do so.
My information about how things are working on Fakebook isn't supportive of your supposition.
Consider instead, in view of the censorship, propaganda, and other social control mechanisms being employed on Fakebook, the impact of millions of flags.
After all, you're here, and not posting this on Fakebook for reasons.
I scanned your link pretty quick.
I don't think the author of which understands 'decentralized'.
FaceBook isn't and wouldn't seem to be a good fit for a blockchain.
imagine them lying, and being shown to BE a liar for all the world to see...
nope...don't think so.
furthermore...Google IS an advertising company at the core....always has been
everything else it does is pursuant to the main objective...
and no..Giggle and Funnybook to not dominate the internet...
that guy needs to get out more..
not even counting the DarkNet (several thousand percent larger than what giggle has access to)
the Onion can go places giggle can't ?
there are STILL blogs, websites...and oh yeah...Steemit/Busy/ChainBB/Zappl/Dtube/'others' on the SteemBlockChain that Giggle doesn't control.
Now let's talk about Ethereum...which has a market cap 80 times greater than Steemit and which is the infrastructure for much of the remaining currency market.. ($397 Billion right now..fluctuates wildly)
The darknet is mostly databases, and such. Backend stuff.
I expect you're aware that money isn't my top priority, so much so that I've never spent a satoshi of Steem. It's peoples ideas I value, as the truth is better than gold.
Giggle was funded by the CIA. It's primarily a data harvesting operation, while growing a substantial sideline in propaganda and censorship. The ad business is mostly a way for gummint to launder the funding.
Why should a blockchain only be useful if decentralized? There are numerous proprietary and private blockchain applications. The blockchain makes data persistent, and data is what Fakebook is all about, too, just like Giggle. I doubt Twatter is much different, if far less profitable.
With a FakeCoin, ZuckerBorg needn't worry much about Steemit. With two billion users, he can establish global adoption of the currency Fakebook users receive. He can make it a game for one whale to profit from, rather than 38, too.
ETH and BTC aren't competitive with Steem as currencies, except in price, as they were earlier and have folks committed stakes already. Cryptokitties broke ETH. BTC was just crashed by the banksters, just weeks after they started the futures market for it.
You'd think with equities tanking, BTC would have mooned. Same with metals. They didn't because derivatives potentiate control of the underlying asset.
Now that they have control of BTC, they're starting to accept it as payment for taxes. That's pretty much the definition of what makes something actually money: that you can pay taxes with it.
He'd be an idiot not to use hashgraph, which would be highly resilient, the fastest xfer option, and is the next best thing in cryptocurrency mechanisms.
Even if I made a million Steem, I wouldn't want to see what kind of world would come from FakeCoin, especially in the hands of his Chinese patrons.
Too bad I can't do a damn thing about it but bitch.
Isn't the 'darknet' just the internet with a layer of privacy protection.
I don't see anything dark there.
And facebook on cypto doesn't really make sense, they make money on peoples privacy.
SuckerBorg had the chance to do the right thing for many years, he chose not to. He wasted his chance on any trust. If had done the right thing in the first place , then would steemit exist?
But greed has long arms... Lets see what happens
The deep web is just that part of the network that isn't assigned IP addresses, sorta. That's about the only layer of privacy protection to it. Most of it is literally databases, and the like.
I reckon that's what we were talking about, as the darknet, those anarchic sites that deliberately avoid the 'surface web' and tend to lawlessness, is literally tiny. The deep web is huge, and the darknet is a itsy bitsy part of it.
If Facebook uses litecoin then litecoin will be a threat if they use their own made up coin that the will be a threat. What are you gonna do about it but buy more of whatever coin has the possibility to go up. People go to where the money is.

Thanks!
How aware are you of MK-ULTRA? Do you know about this Have you heard of Carl Miller Just a few things that help me and have helped me to win.

Decentralized cryptocurrency and truther blogs can only do so much.
We'll need help to survive this.
The Simon black article is truly disturbing and STEEM Inc. may need a wakeup call and get HF 20 rolled out sooner than later.
Not sure how we avert this inevitable outcome.
We'll need more than a few million bloggers. With a 90% YOY churn, Steemit first needs to fix the rewards mechanism so it's not a cryptomining game for 38 whales, and then the real potency of voluntarist government can begin to counter the totalitarian threat.

We need allies.

Actually, I think he's gonna do this. I don't shop online, but I hear they take crypto now, at least BTC.
He already uses member-type strategies to get people to use Amazon, like coughing up $100 up front to join Prime and get free shipping, firestick TV, free e-books etc.

That looks to be the case. As @everittdmickey points out, however, SMTs are a wild card. We better beat ZuckerBorg to the punch with 'em.
The thing that worries me the most about zuckerberg is that he could just purchase 10s of millions of Steempower and make a website that interefaces with steem and build it into facebook. Then give all the people out there access to steemit by giving the steem away only to those loyal to his cause. They would invade and take over, and it would only cost him less than 100 million to do so.
What would we do then?
Fork.
That's all we could do.
laugh all the way to the bank?
Imagine if a couple of BILLION funny book users voted on my blog?
That would be a lot of Steem I suppose!

Not always. Sometimes war gets in the way.
Then, people go where they're told.
Thanks for sounding the clarion call, v-c! Upvoted and Resteemed!
Glad you're back on the air. Hopefully the connectivity issues remain resolved.
