Dear @practicalthought
Amazing comment. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
I paid taxes for last year on the Steem I earned. I will do so again this year as well. I
Ehm ... aren't you losing so far on your investment in STEEM? If you convert it to fiat then you surely invested more than steem would be worth now.
I know many believe that crypto is the means to escape their control.
So ironic. Crypto and blockchain will make it even harder to escape any sort of control.
ps. I've also noticed that you didn't post anything in a while. Hope you're not giving up on Steemit.
Yours, Piotr
Yeah, my initial investment was a huge loss. However, when I was blogging I did better than many here I guess and traded most of it for a project I believe has more on the ball. I still have more left here than I had bought (I bought in the 1-2.00 ranges) that I consider house money on the off chance the project can be saved despite the motions from the top.
As for the taxes, I ate it out of pocket. There will be a lot of misery coming for those who didn't/aren't paying their taxes I believe, and I will not be one of them. Give unto Caesar etc.
So I log on still to cast my paltry votes in appreciation of the few blogs left (most that I followed have already left the platform, many long ago).
