Terrific post. It's very exciting to be part of this in its earliest stages. We've really been plowing ahead at the [Fiction Workshop](https://discord.gg/3tRw4Hf) on Discord because that's our jam and it's been amazing. I've never been involved in a writing group more effective than the one that has sprung up here through Steemit.

"It remains that Steem is one of the most accessible Collaborative Commons around, since no specialised equipment or skill is required. Only a willingness to learn and do things."

YES! I wanted to get into mining when 10,000 BTC bought a couple of pizzas, but I had zero tech capabilities. I simply don't speak the language. By the time I learned enough to mine, it was a huge thing requiring massive amounts of computing power that I don't have the space or time to manage.

Steemit is the absolute *perfect* solution for people like me.
