Steem is the best thing that has came along on the internet since bitcoin in my opinion. Down with these centralized systems, im seeing a new world emerge. Think about it when you post a photo to instagram, you automatically give up your ownership rights to that image. So if instagram wanted to and in many cases they do, they can take your pictures without you knowing and use them for advertising and such. Thats the glory of using instagram you basically signing over your rights to these "centralized systems". Also with now days all the censorship going on, for example youtube cuts peoples funding off all the time. If you guys are curious as to who they are doing that to just comment below and ill gladly point you to some channels that youtube has defunded for political purposes or just because they dont agree with some of the content. Facebook has been doing some things that are borderline stepping over our rights to free speech. So who died and put these fucking guys in power? This is nogo guys they don't want us to be self sufficient. Censorship is getting worse and worse. Now I don't know about you guys but as a kid the biggest thing that attracted me to the internet is the fact that i can literally look anything up and its there. Right at your fingertips, ask it anything is what my grandmother told me as i sat down at the computer for the first time. The idea that i had access to almost infinate amount of information completely blew my little mind. How we can connect with people all over the world!!! This is crazy i can talk to people in china?! I literally entered chat rooms just to find people from other countries to say at school the next day i was talking to people in China! So that was the beginning of my journey into the internet. Fast forward to now im 24 years old, college student. Struggling as it is to get by and here comes steem like a huge fucking train just knocking down barriers that these centralized systems have put in place in order to try to capitalize and marginalize the internet. I can see why they call it steem, a giant engine being powered by us steemians. That cant be stopped like a fucking train almost. Giving it the fuel it needs to go on and venture deeper into the internet sea of things, to conquer and destroy the giant whales of wall street. With steem together we can beat these giants. We can change the world to our advantage. People need to stop being so seperated and look at things like steam and bitcoin and other cryptovurrencies and see it in a different light then what you hear about the bad reputation of btc or cryptocurrencies in general. People do bad things with all money not just one specific currency that just sounds stupid. I BET you that THE US DOLLAR HAS MORE BLOOD ON IT THA. ANY OTHER CURRENCY OUT THERE. Cryptocurrencies are emerging from the depths of the deep web and is now emerging into the real world. I believe in steem just like i believe in btc, i been on the fence about any other cryptos but after looking into steem i believe it just as much as i believe in btc. Now STEEM ON!
