Interesting post. I'll link it to a convo I'm having with @percetualflaws.
Is your fictional Maya, illusion, the dream world (subtle), matrix?
I view the matrix as objectively real and not a construct of my mind--it would exist even if I didn't.
The difference between centralized and decentralized has to be ethics and at this point, I'm not really seeing much in crypto that isn't shady as fcuk. One recent example is whether Steemit Inc. steals your money if they arbitrarily shut your feed down. There should be an open policy that anyone's money is transferred to them prior to termination otherwise it's a prime exp. of shady.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If Steemit shuts down your feed, all they can do is revoke your access to using the steemit.com web interface. They don't own or control the blockchain itself. So if they block you from using the interface, then go to another one. There are plenty of them around. They cannot 'steal' your cryptocurrency, however they can ensure that you don't access it through their site. The blockchain is completely independent of the original developers and under the stewardship of the witnesses. That is why it is important that we vote for the witnesses that we feel will best protect the blockchain from any such attempts to steal or jeopardize the blockchain.
Thanks for the reply. I admit to being a techno Luddite. I can't imagine how to access my wallet here if I can't access the site. Perhaps someone could do a detailed post on how to go about doing that.
I am happy to hear that that is the case. Perhaps, if possible, shoot me the link of the 'how to' on this issue. Cheers!
@flauwy wrote one about 5 months ago. Many others have written good articles too. I hope this helps you in your own research. Peace to you.

This is also a good site to look for tools.

Awesome! Thank-you:0
So, would it be reasonable to assume that if one opens up an account under the username that was your Steemit profile one would be able to gain access to one's crypto? Again, assuming one was blocked out of Steemit.com...
The 'steemit profile' is actually an account for the steem blockchain. That is yours and it cannot be recovered if you loose your encryption keys. You use those keys to access the blockchain through the other interfaces, whether it is busy.org, d.tube, etc. All Steemit.com can do is prevent you from using their interface. They cannot stop you from accessing the blockchain.
I really appreciate you clarifying this issue for me:) I've linked this post to my post on this subject. I hope that's okay with you.
I'll look into and consider your metaphysics over the coming months.
Cheers!
