This was excellent, you managed to take all of the thoughts I've been having and put them in an easy to follow, coherent form that often eludes me when it comes to writing it down myself. I can write the hell out of a fiction piece, but this type of thing is my husband's forte.
I definitely do not need bigger, more, or riches, I've long ago quit being possessed by my possessions. I am in love with the concept of the rewards based economy. Remittance and payment, the old ledger based sysem has to die I believe.
steemit could become an unstoppable force by two things: having it's own visa without needing to transfer to bitcoin first, and creating a marketplace with all of us supplying it with our unique talents and gifts from all over the globe. Perhaps that's the future of it.
Thank you... I also realize-- in reading this-- that not all people are interested in my more non-material, minimalistic perception of life.
I remember answering-- as a thought/writing exercise-- what I would do with $10 million handed to me, tax free, tomorrow... and-- aside from paying off our very modest debts and installing solar and wind generators-- what I would do is invest every cent prudently in modestly income producing ventures that would help ensure living expenses covered in perpetuum.
I have no need of "things" and power boats and fancy trips and "adult toys." But I would definitely invest in learning and study.
