it cool./

Hi Taraz. two years today Steem has been distributing it's coins. That is not a long time in the big picture of things. I think the platform has done remarkably well to get this far in such a short time. You mentioned that Steem was at around 0.07 c and now it is at $1.60 or so. that is a growth of 2300%. That if one works it out is basically doubling in value each month of Steemit. When one stands back and digests these figures they are mind boggling.

it is one of those deep seeded flaws in capitalism that we've all been ingrained with. 

Whilst crypto is supposed to promote a decentralised economy and new ways of working, new world order, people are all approaching it with a capitalist mindset. 

capitalism fails in a few areas.

- every dollar earnt is a dollar lost by somebody else. 
- some tasks which may be essential to a society, but not to any one individual, will be neglected  because it won't be seen as profitable. 

In a way that's what's happening here. Posting good content is essential for a platform like steem, but it is only rewarded by people that perceive that content worthy of reward, and they need to even see it before they can do that - when that doesn't happen, then the content production slows down.. and that is where a platform can fail completely..

still waiting for some of the enhancements to the platform that can boost content visibility and in turn content rewards, which will lead to greater content quantity (and quality)

July 4th means absolutely nothing to me too...😂 .

You're right about the steem platform being one for entrepreneurs. Everyone controls their destiny here, I hope we can build a better system with this gift of a platform

I agree with you Taraz, we usually blame other more than ourselves if there is anything goes wrong. I think that reflecting to our own self is better than to blame others. Always blaming others cause us to be blinded to our own mistake which might cause a lot of pain to other wheter we realize it or not. Then the regret part came and it's already too late to turn back.

The sheeple of the world will read your post and think you are bat shit crazy. Seriously they think getting a "good job" so they can afford to buy a bigger house and nicer car then their neighbor is freedom. They think that they "must have" the latest 5G TV in every room of the house so they don't miss a minute of their stupid staged reality TV show or talk show. They have to buy this years designer clothes and so forth. Then one day they wake up and wonder how after years of having this good job they are flat broke.

They are slaves to a system that is designed to trap you in debt and pay the banks interest on money they created from thin air. 

The process of thinking for yourself is nearly extinct and those of us that do are made fun of and given a hard time for not falling into the same traps that others do. 

>Most given the opportunity of responsibility won't take it as there is too much work involved, too much that needs to be considered, too much effort but perhaps one day, things will change and enough will cooperate together, independently.

This right here is why people need to show up to their shitty job they hate for nearly their entire life. They trade their souls to the man in exchange for the right to purchase a ton of crap that they don't need but were conditioned into thinking they "must have".

>It is just a shame that so many outsource their decisions to authorities

There it is. 
I don't care what society you name that has an  or had an oppressive government it all goes back to the people who failed to take responsibility for their lives and pass it to the government.  A little here and there adds up quickly.

it's never too late to make a change if the will is there to take personnel responsibility.
