RE: Some Steem Tips For Some Steem Success!

in #joy8 years ago

That's a good question! Because most people on Earth live from pay check to pay check and that's not even an exaggeration. This is real. And millions might not even know where there next meal will be coming from. Wow. Thinking about this got me emotional. You knowing where you next meal come from. Damn.

Sort:  

I could not imagine it myself and hopefully some day in the near future it can all change. With this new world of cryptos I believe it is very positive step forward in the right direction.

Very true! It seems that the majority of the people who make a good living have no desire to contribute anything toward helping people less fortunate than themselves, at least here in the U.S. Why is it that they complain about that tiny portion of their taxes going to the food stamp program, but they never seem to complain about that large chunk of their taxes going toward the bloated defence budget?
I'm poor, and I'd gladly pay a bit more on income taxes if it went toward universal health care in this country.

And yet one of the major boosters to cryptos is expected to come from the poorest parts of the world, specifically those places where people don't have access to banks or funding. I agree with you 100% about the paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't get a single member of my family to invest in Bitcoin. I am not even going to address the skepticism I receive when I mention steemit, common response "where does the money come from?" I think however in countries where people literally have no other options, they are more likely to adopt cryptos and that is attributing to the current rise. What do you think?
