This is a semi cross-post of my most recent on Steem...
Mad times and as time goes on, sad times. Bitcoin is volatile, the markets are volatile and the Steem chain has been, of course, volatile. Politics don't seem to makes sense and we are becoming polarised, angry and warriors (and admittedly worriers) by keyboard in nature. Technology is advancing at incredible speed but people around the world seem to be getting poorer, with the wealth divide getting larger. We are in debt, our friends are in debt, our family are in debt. Debt appears to the answer to all problems but at some time the 'bubble' has to burst. Now we have the threat of C-19, a virus that has jumped from animal to human that is now rampaging the globe at a frightening speed. Heat maps of the world are beginning to go from white to a deep crimson. Many of is just watched it all unfold in China and do nothing to prepare, we now rue that inaction. We are panic buying, crying and some just completely ignoring the new rules - social distancing and self isolation. At the same time, but on the online world, the blockchain world, part of my identity has been ripped up by the few and now it seems I've jumped ship, to keep that identity that I hold dear. To keep some kind of decentralisation alive, how we want to be. We don't want to be governed online too. Hive is that new hope and project.
Something that John McAfee said (you either love him or hate him) really resonated with me and captured the feeling that we all had when Justin Sun seemed to try to take the power. What do you think? It's PERFECT, and the response is plain immature and totally out of touch.
I look forward to furnishing you with drone pictures (when the sun FINALLY comes out) and random news and bits and pieces in future :)
Nice to see you over here ;-)
Happy to be here!
Welcome to the other side, it's pretty much business as usual on here, actually saner than what's going on IRL.
Yes! A bit of escapism eh. I feel that
