Great post. Thanks for clarifying all of this, I think I've learned more from this than the previous months reading about EOS combined. Seeing it work in action is a bit different than the theory and just imagining it. Clearly we have a long way to go for this to all work smoothly, but I have a much better idea of how to get involved with the politics of EOS after reading this post. I knew there was a reason I voted for you guys.

I know EOS is getting a lot of heat for this, but I think it's great. Far from satisfied, but considering it's just a few weeks old and most of the processes not even invented yet, it's not a bad start at all. We're really creating a new form of global government, not just another currency, and that is what makes this all so exciting. Long road a head, Rome wasn't built in a day, really interesting to be a part of, just hope it works out well and that we're not backing ourselves into one of Orwell's nightmares lol.

Either way, if it doesn't work out I'll just burn my computers, leave the internet permanently and start trading with seashells. I'm taking a break from the internet anyway, maybe in a few months when I come back they'll have more tools available to streamline all this. Personally I'd like a social media site/app like Steemit where we could develop this "government" in a more unified way on the blockchain itself rather than a bunch of forums and chatrooms and articles spread all over the place. Get the guy who designed the eoscountdown site on it, that's really good design right there.

Have a nice summer Steemians and EOSers, see you in a few months.

Edit: Here is a little update to this.
