What I initially loved about Steemit (and still do) is the fact that I can learn and earn at the same time. I am totally fascinated in how block chain has the ability to reshape our world and bring much needed balance and truth to two specific areas: Finance and Media.
I feel these 2 spaces have really left the people behind so to speak. These 2 areas effect us most on a day to day basis and are stymied by rampant corruption.
The powers that be have used these 2 mediums to control our money supply to herd us like sheep to the slaughter and control our minds by controlling what media we ingest daily. Block chain allows peer to peer contact on both fronts. It enables financial transactions without a 3rd party intermediary taking their cut and lets you absorb information directly from whomever and wherever you choose. All this is enabled by total transparency within the block chain. You can always see what has transpired b/c it's there forever for you to see it. No more smoke and mirrors.
If I had to sum it up in a few words, I'd say block chain represents a beacon of truth in a world so desperately in search of it. Great post brother! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
