Good post. What we need to do is to pull a digital version of John Galt's "paradise". Just leave everyone else back in statist-land where they prefer to be, and start our own place, just like in Atlas Shrugged. Only this time it's online. Our own economy basically. I believe that is what Crypto currencies SHOULD be about. Just people taking control, giving the finger to the governments and banks - we don't need you. We are doing perfectly fine without you. As more people realize that there is an alternative group of people doing stuff like this (Steemit) they will gradually understand what money really is. It is not something magical. It is just whatever we decide has value.
