RE: Stop sending our jobs over seas... OKAY WE'LL STOP... How about the Prison Industrial Complex?

in #anarchy8 years ago (edited)
We can only build a new world. Through crypto. Through improving our relationships, our communication skills, our social networking abilites. Through each other. It's not a battle, or a slog through the mud. It's just how we live, even with a boot on our throats. I find anarchists often resent the world, but we are the only ones that can actually fix it.

Steem and steemit have restored HOPE where I didn't see much for awhile.

I was totally gearing up and telling my family the goal would be that someone with the things we know survive, and live into whatever the future holds.

Mainly because all the avenues to fight back kept getting closed, made illegal, etc.

Then Steem came along, and man there is some major HOPE in what this could potentially do. They could kill steemit.com, but hopefully the blockchain is resilient enough they can't kill it. Open sourcing steemit.com it can pull off the hydra like action.

Sort:  
I actually saw Bitcoin when it was $0.005/coin but my family and I were poor. I thought "Damn this is a cool idea", yet I also thought it likely the government would intervene and kill it. So $20 would feed my family. Yes I am kicking myself.

Yea, I'm sorta in the same boat. My cousin (the one who got me into anarchism in the post I made) told me about it in the summer of 2011. I thought it was cute, but dismissed it outright. I saw it again at like $10 and actually looked into it a bit. Then dismissed it again. At $50, same thing. Didn't want to be the guy that bought at THAT price. XD

I finally bit the bullet and started buying in the winter of 2014, when it hit the "bottom" of $600. ::eye roll:: I then proceeded to lose like 90% of my first 2 bitcoin by going all-in on Cryptcoin and XCoin in my first couple months. XD

After that, I regrouped, committed to learning how to actually make it grow. I now mine, trade, buy, anything and everything for Bitcoin. I have no doubts in my mind where it's heading over the next 10 years, and just like Steemit, it will catch the world by surprise.

As far as other coins I'm watching? Only one, really. Zcash. Highly recommend you check that out. I'm not shilling either, it hasn't launched yet. :)

Happy to follow @kaptainkrayola, btw. Steem shovel's a cool project:

Just curious, how long had you been in crypto/bitcoin before steem?
