Transparency & Integrity
Ned, thanks for the info. Having only jumped on board in any real way with Steemit today (an intro post), one thing that strikes me by and large in the crypto industry is transparency, and the communal willingness to shape a pro-active and fair outcome. Everyone has an opinion, and many the willingness to express it, for me that is great stuff.
Many folks that I advise to start adopting crypto's point to hacks, and the loss by many of much. What they often fail to recognise is how badly the banking industry is constantly under attack. Very little if this makes the public ear, for obvious reason, loss of faith in an already damned industry.
While the powers that be point to having to control the masses, I point out how a consensus based community reaches a fair compromise. Ultimately, humanity will out and I for one appreciate that in a brave new world, a willingness to reveal weak links, will in the final analysis, grow a stronger chain. Kudos.
