I agree with you sir, and a hardcore believer that the steem would be the only solution of poverty. In fact it's far different from other crypto currencies, everyone has a chance to earn some few dollar to thousand a day without the need of expensive devices.
And the small step we make to spread the knowledge today, would be rewarded big in the future. We are all affected with this humble beginning.
I think we should see Steem as part of the solution. Without internet cryptocurrencies wouldn't exist and without Bitcoin, Steem wouldn't exist... Steem is only a part of a bigger picture. Everything is always part of a bigger picture.
Somehow it is.
