RE: DON'T LET GREED DESTROY STEEMIT

in #steemit7 years ago

Whose "property" is that million steem?

Yours. Giving someone your bank account password doesn't mean you cease owning the assets therein.

If you transfer it out of that account, are you depriving me of what I own?

Yes.

If I transfer it, am I depriving you of what you own?

No, you're just managing your assets.

This is exactly how money works. You exchange information (printed on a piece of paper or digital) for goods and services.

Sort:  

Your conception of “ownership” does not seem to be shared by most proponents of cryptocurrency.

“my” bank account is mine because it has my name on it. “my” tokens are only mine because i have knowledge of the key.

And yet even your bank account isn't yours - sure, it has a name on it, but that's just information, right?

And information should be freeeeee, maaaaan.

What a bunch of crock.
