Great read. I was talking with my business team the other day and the subject of cashless society came up. I believe that our generation is interested in technologies like Bitcoin because we are beginning to think through what we want freedom to mean in our day. Money and freedom go hand in hand... and I often remind myself... "What's the point of freedom if you don't have privacy." As a society privacy is becoming more important than ever... This is something everyone should be concerned with because it directly relates to the amount and type of freedom we have. I believe that the media and the central authorities would have us become distracted by the "freedom to" but for generations before us they were more concerned with "freedom from". That's what each generation bleeds and sweats for... and Crypto Currency is where today's consensus is being waged. Now is not the time to speculate and compare the new money with the old money hoping to "get ahead". Now is the time to actively participate in that discussion... And that's one of the things I love about Steemit... It gives everyone a chance to do just that regardless of their technical know how.
