This is a topic which covers most parts of our lives, basically are we free or slaved to working for a future designed by others.
This brings questions everyone should be examining. I think we all can come to a compromise, were we agree an amount of control is needed.
By this I mean rules/regulation/laws we agree to live by, and therefore a penalty for not abiding by said laws. I believe in taxation, taxation is needed to provide for various things, such as public services, Refuse collection, water supply, a transport system, public representatives and so on, basically the things we have now, which were once paid for through tax's, Have now been privatised and the tax we pay does not diminish we pay the same tax and now to a private entity to supply what we had already paid for.
Take a organisation like NASA, paid for through tax's, and the technologies and devices which come from the goals of NASA go to creation of profits for a private entity. The tax you paid develops new technology, which is privately marketed to gain max profit from a tax investment.
This same thing is done within the military industrial complex. The people of a country are sent out to fight a private war, You pay your tax, it is then side-swiped to defence, a foreign country is attacked, a resentment of the attacking country is formed within the invaded country. When a status quo is reached beneficial to the invading force. The people of either country will not be any better off. Those who sat back and funded their war will reap rewards from the tax payer investment for a war designed by those behind closed doors. You invest they research another profits?
Well we could go on and on about all the things done wrong and nothing would change, Unless! we can change how things are done.
What needs changing? well just about everything. Firstly we need to think about WE not ME,(lets turn the M upside down). The world in my opinion is we are upside down at the moment. With all the rage in Cryptocurrencies, There is very little change to the norm, people still act and react the same as before. In the last year, very few people have entered the crypto market with the intention of using crypto as a currency. The higher majority are here for the possible gains which can be made from these currencies. As of now crypto currencies are doing nothing more then making some gain more wealth. Finance is only one part of the changes we need, with little or no look to the future. The future seems doomed to stay within the hands of a few controllers.
The structure of society today is divided on many aspects, and the one commonality for all of these is the need for finance. Each year you need more and more finance to pay for what you had the last. Rates and tax's rise quicker then your income. One medical bill or one missed week at work, A new member to a family or a new car is needed, If you are on a tight balance this year, next year gets harder. The crypto currency will does us no good if the rest of the world is governed by the same people. the value of crypto lies within the ability to spend it. The more variation of the currency the less impact it will have, an adaption to one currency where the profits of this currency are put back to social improvements and a reduction to the cost of living is what is needed. This begin the restoration of power, without this there will be a buy out and acquiring of company assets until again, a monopoly control is gained by private corporate.
I see a few roads to achieving these goals. The name to them I am unsure of, Community currency, global currency, people currency, which ever title you give to it, Let it be a currency that profits everyone to use it not just an individual. This is the morality behind the idea of Satoshi, Not a currency to profit from but a currency to take the corruption out of it and create an environment of finance without government. Autonomous Public Crypto. We have a place to start, where would we like to end? what is between is everything we must overcome.
Energy, wanted and needed by us all. The burning of fossil fuels to provide this energy we all agree is still too high and should be reduced to 0. Providing the alternative power does seem to be a battle, I ask the question here, How much less fossil fuels been used is enough to say ok we will do that as it saves x amount. We need to look at this type issue long term, and that everything we do not reduce now is more we will need to do later. Renewable energies, are bypassed by large corporations who have invested heavily in fossil fuels. This is what holds the development of renewable energies, until those who now control the power industry can control the renewable.
Food and water with housing, would come next in reducing the costs of living. All of these initiatives can compliment and promote each other for faster growth.
This post is not the solution to the world, But a place to start on building a better environment to live. It is not a this will fix everything post, Just a place to start which can provide the finance for itself progress and expand. A chance for your voice not to be drowned out by the lure of money.

Good post. You certainly bring up a lot of good and important points. We certainly could go down a lot of rabbit holes with the problems facing the world and the possible solutions, but I always think it's a good exercise for us to be thinking of positive solutions. Without that process of evaluation and effort change wouldn't even be possible.
You also make a lot of good points about the crypto market, and the potential pitfalls when it comes to a larger corporate interest eventual buying out prevailing cryptos. If there is a solution to have a better world financial system that benefits people, it seems like crypto currency is a likely place for it. I think for this reason it's important in what the currency is tied to, which is why I really like Steem based on its multi-faceted anchors and it's ties to the creation of content.
Crypto is the best future for finances I believe. We need it a people currency not an institutionalised one. With using Steemit or format similar to create the coins is not beneficial to us all , Just to those who monopolise the format as it is, reaping massive reward for low value content, which can be found in many places on the net.
Solution is in changes of many things how they are done and monitored. For the ability to grow and expand a Crypto currency or energy grid is the most effective way to generate this change.
I see crypto as revenge of the geeks. I use the term affectionately. It’s a new world where we can get out from under the control of the banks. I’m not a religious person, but I recall that Jesus railed against the money changers. It’s a fight as old as human history.
Control over monetary issues gives control over daily lives, Crypto is a way out only if it remains uncontrolled by Institutions or governments. We need a people or public currency. Crypto offers that possibly. It depends if people go for the riches or work together.
Short reaction on TAX:
People should have the option to choose what tax not to pay.
In general i don't have a problem with TAX as such. But i do have a real problem with the people who spend our TAX.
When TAX money end up in corrupt pockets, i should have the option to refuse any TAX that flows in that direction. As a way of gaining control over the ones that work for us when spending our money.

Add that to the list via the comment on that post
Stick in the chicken coop:
whales are slowly becoming the elite of steemit.
Maybe we need to start a 'kill the whales' initiative, to prevent steemit to become just as crap as the world that we try to change?
Or turn plankton into piranhaton. And just feast on the whales..
:-P
