Central powers fight to stop the progress of crypto. We are in the right path for mass adoption. :)

When I see someone blog on Steem from a place like Venezuela, and see them generate value through upvotes, that's all the reinforcement I need.  As companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google attempt to become everything to everyone, they will die under the weight of it.  

Ethereum has so much being built on it, it's hard to ignore.  I'd say that everyone at this stage of the game should strive to at least hold 32 ETH.

>I'm tired of paying a tax, unless it's for the fees in the network I use.

...don't? lol

If you don't fight for the principle it means nothing, it's  just words.
(fighting the system _costs_ you. Like,  as  in _real life_  hardship terms).

I wrote something on this earlier....

You are speaking the truth Omar and I can't agree more with xou about the future promises of Blockchain Technology.
It would be great to see full transparancy in our goverment leadership, no abuse of power anymore, no black budgets and black holes where our taxes dissapear, no more untrusted third parties who rip you off with ever transaction (banks) etc....
Yeah Blockchain is that technology to make it happen and people just need to take the chance and see the opportunuity here.
But as far as pur political and economy drama unfolds I think people will seek alternatives and Steem, Ethereum and co. are already proofen to be more "free" Networks than anything else what we have right now.
Peace and love my friends!

Thanks @crypt0 for letting us know how enthusiastic you are about Ethereum, I’m glad and grateful that Steem has made your expression possible here even though you didn’t mention #Steem!

>Let's speak up, and dream, people. Words and ideas matter. Don't let lack of money stop those two things that you can share for free, for the most part.

🖕That line up there means a whole lot to me!

Remain awesome as we all match into better tomorrow.

We are never in lack of money. 

We lack people with dreams, who can die for those dreams

Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.

Reading this article just sparked a bit of an epiphany for me. I feel like the biggest (and best) promise of blockchain is the redistribution of wealth that will happen when the ones that win out become the only form of value used in the world. 

For sure banks, and the huge powers behind them, will do everything they can to appropriate the tech. But when it's built into the code that the only fees that can be taken are set and get paid to those who perpetuate the BC, then those old school powers won't be able to manipulate the value in the way they do now.

A redistribution of both power and wealth, this is the dream... Ha ha, well it's my dream anyway.

Interesting post Omar.

Ethereum is still the most exciting project out there in my opinion.

Not even Bitcoin has as many devs working on it.  Hundreds of very valid projects building on-top, for pretty much anyt usecase you can think.  Defi stack is shaping nicely, and in a couple of years could become the much searched for 'killer app'.  

Some interesting gaming options arriving before too long as well - Neon District,  Zombie Battlegrounds, Enjin Coin + Unity partnership, Decentraland, etc.

Scaling is the major concern, as it's taking a long time to figure out.  Still, a lot of this can be mitigated through state channels +  sidechains  + Plasma (eg. see work being done by Funfair, Loom Network, OmiseGo Raiden, etc.)

I'm optimistic that within  years Ethereum will 10x.

Enjin has sparked the bull market
