Wow, you research dozens of hours a day, or did I hear wrong? xD

In all seriousness though, you are making an awful lot of sense. Thinking about these things, I realized that Steem is like an antithesis to many things that are going shit (censorship, abusing people's free data). These centralized entities keep abusing people because it is in their best interest to do so, and with media being on the same corrupt train, people are not going to learn what value they are being stripped off by the owners of those networks that are swimming in money. Enslaved, like you said.

But on Steem, power is decentralized and is doing so in a continuously increasing manner in different layers through the inflation pool and new tokens that can even take away the dependency of earning Steem itself. I can only imagine what it will be when SMTs come out.

This is where it's at - this is where the value is shared across the users of the network that bring the value. How much was it that the Steem blockchain had distributed rewards to authors, $100,000,000? How much FB has given to its users? Zero. Yet still some people call Steem a complete failure, unbelievable.

When realizing the vision and the values behind Steem, it would be crazy to just leave when we all are having a golden ticket to build something together that we can own as a community and empower others and ourselves in the process.

I like your spirit on these videos, dan!
