RE: The truth behind Decentralized Exchanges and the ongoing fight against Mass Surveillance

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

" If people value there own personal freedom the most and carry full responsibility for there life and the people in there community, than these people would want to vote for small governments structures and less centralized power."

I believe that unfortunately most people are uninterested in this topic, at least in the moment.

Sort:  

Agreed, the majority sadly DO vote with their wallets, invariably for convenience rather than freedom.

Yes or they even don't go to vote. In Great Britain f.e. many young people tell now, that the old people take away their future with brexit.
But they are wrong !
Only 72,2% of people was going to vote, but from people older than 65 their go 90% to vote.
So they should tell not to the old people why they vote so how they vote, they should ask they young people why not also 90% of them go to vote, if they think, that it's important for their future.

that's a great point @udow

Hi @jbgarrison72

I'm afraid I've lost you. Would you mind telling me what do you mean by that? I hope my question is not to silly.

My comment was agreeing with @udow that people in general are uninterested in non-personal important things and I was also adding the insight that in order to see what people ARE interested in, watch what they spend their money on... which of course is, the only real "power" anyone has, that is to say the power of choosing what to spend money on. A cast "vote" in some election has very little power. A dollar spent has far more power. And still, the "dollar vote" power is wasted by the average person. Does this help clarify @crypto.piotr ? :)

It really does @jbgarrison72

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. I appreciate it a lot. Seriously Steemit needs more responsive people like you.

Have a great weekend buddy

I absolutely agree @udow.

I also experienced complete lack of interests in this topic :/
