Another thought provoking post. This sort of thing is what opened my eyes to the possibilities of Steemit enabling me to make a start on a not for profit project that I've been thinking about for ages. It gives me the opportunity to start doing a little something online without interference from outside forces (ie: government) to see if I can make it work and help make a difference. Hopefully I can make it work and eventually move on to more physical applications and I don't think I could have had the courage to do that without steem.
PS: It's @life-relearnt if you are at all interested. It's not doing much yet, but it's more than what I was doing.
