The year was 2016. It was a crazy time. In the United States there were a two options to become president. Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. One was a known criminal, and the other was a corrupt billionaire. They have both been friends for a long time. Riots were happening in the streets, police were killing people, people were killing police.
It was a time when money was being put into question. Here we have fiat currency being printed endlessly with no oversight from the people. Health costs, food, and other necessities were being inflated on purpose. This was a time when a fellow Steemer found the Steem network. He worked tirelessly writing his Steem posts. He stayed up late, woke up early, commented, and interacted with the community. He put countless hours into his posts only to see them go no where. He kept thinking, what kind of world do we live in? Mass shootings, fraudulent elections, and my Steem posts going no where. He started thinking, how can I make more money on Steem?
So he decides to put his money in Steem Power to speed up the process. Little did he know that he couldn't pull out that money for years to come. He was locked in. Steem has him in the system trapped as a slave to the Steem Network. How ironic, a decentralized system was able to make him a slave. Working for pennies, and paying out his curators.
Everyday, he would become more depressed, everyday putting more and more of his valuable time into writing his heart out. Everyday, the money became less and less.
Trapped in the system, there was only one way out. There was only one way to freedom.
Heaven.
I'll leave the rest of the story to your imagination.
