Hi to you all!
This is my very first post and I'm excited to have learned about this new community! Finally uncensored content creation by the people for the people.
I must admit that I have been an avid consumer of Youtube over the years. However, I cannot hide my frustration with Youtube as it has been censoring its content more and more based on what they see as 'politically correct'. I can honestly not understand how the attack on our right to free speech has been so successful. The power of money has been a major tool in pushing people to adhere to an 'official narrative'. Content creators are pushed to only create 'soft' content. In the last couple of years, we have all seen power houses like Youtube, Facebook, etc. degrade our privacy and limit our 'true' free speech.
I sincerely hope that 'Steemit' and its community will be the counter balance to this centralized system! Similarly, I hope that crypto currencies general will tear down the banking monopoly and that a decentralized, blockchain based voting system for our basic human rights is underway. For years I have felt that the 'establishment' was slowly but surely winning the battle for our minds. The power of their unlimited 'money/currency' supply has been corrupting the deepest values that we hold dear. Freedom, Equality, etc...
In closing, I'm honestly hopeful again and I want to thank the pioneers of this technology. I want to express my appreciation for those that are pushing back, those that have created this 'Steemit' platform, those who are developing the applications, based on the blockchain, that will enable humanity to regain the freedom it fought so hard for. We don't live in a perfect world, but we can actually make it better. We must.
While I am still figuring out how I will contribute to the network and its community, I just wanted to say;" Thank you! and 'Nice to meet you all." "One day, they might refer to this era as the start of a new (r)evolution!"
Welcome to Steemit !
You got an upvote by @cryptokraze to start here.
Thanks for the upvote! How does the upvote system work? Is it like a like? How many likes can you give? Is that limited?
Welcome! Gave you a follow!
Thanks David, let's be in touch! What are you blogging about?
Various things really. Probably going to focus on my photography though
Welcome, I hope you choose the right pill.
I followed and resteemed your post, follow me back at @morpheus03! :)
I choose the 'musical' pill! What kind of music are you making, performing?
Trap
Actually had to check on the web to catch the gist of the 'genre'. Never heard of it before but I like it. I have more of a singer songwriter background. You learn every day! :-)
You can check my beats if you want

Why "silvergold" for your name, are you a stacker?
Well yes, I do hold the physical metal and like to follow the space in general. I appreciate your comment a lot. I see there are a lot of 'bots' around and getting a real comment does make all the difference! Thanks again for actually reading my post! Have an amazing day and let's stay in touch!

Thanks for that upvote and tip! How does that actually work? What are you blogging about?
While I appreciate the upvote and the tip, I had to give you a downvote because you really are a bot it seems and I don't see the added value for bots on this platform. Actually, It seems to be the only thing that could bring it down, because people are tired of spending their time responding to automatic messages. I am in any case.. I thought the Steemit community would go against bots but I see you responding and doing this tactic with every single new steemit user.. In my opinion this goes against what this community wants to achieve. Am I wrong?

Hi holyman, how does the upvote system work? I there a limit to upvotes?
Steemit offers great opportunities. It's going to be massive. Have fun
I think so too! Fun is definitely a 'keyword' in life :-) Thanks! (ps: do you play in a band?)
Hi. I don't have a band, but I have tried to get some going in the past. These days I just play for fun with people at the pub. We do some collaborations, but nothing fixed. I'm writing some of my own songs to perform.
Same story for me :-) actually! I'm also passionate about music! Guitar, singing, writing, homerecording, ...
