IMAGINE.....
If people didn't give a flying fuck about crypto currencies- except for using them as they were intended... To transfer money/value from one place to another, without a middle man. (as in the banks/financial institutions).
IMAGINE
If people didn't give a flying fuck about whether social media was on a block chain, clockchain, or any other technology.
They just wanted to communicate.
IMAGINE
If people were not interested in profiting from financial speculative products. ( making money, from money).
Making money from money belongs to the world of the Wbankers, and most people abhor the idea.
It's corrupt. It's dirty. It's parasitic.
The same way as purchasing a car has nothing to do with the product itself, the vehicle - but is ALL about selling finance...making money off money.(the world of the bankers).
Parasitic.
Steem - a financial product using the vehicle of social media.
IMAGINE
If the whole social media world as we understand it today, is, or was, an experiment that failed, and people start to disengage from it.
As time goes on- 'we' start to understand the negative consequences of using social media too much.
The 'negatives' far outweighing the 'positives'.....I can see this happening.
IMAGINE
IF MOST PEOPLE IN THE 'REAL WORLD' ALREADY THOUGHT THESE THINGS.
IMAGINE
IF YOUR OWN 'GROUP APPROVED AVARICE', (THE WORLD OF THE WBANKERS) AND YOUR OWN SELF CONSTRUCTED ECHO CHAMBERS, BLINKERED YOU, AND PREVENTED YOU - FROM SEEING THIS OTHER REALITY.
IMAGINE
IF CRYPTO CURRENCY IS 'THE NEW MONEY', AND THE OLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS DYING.....
MAKING MONEY OFF MONEY, IS THE BIGGEST CANCER – AND THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR, TO SHITE WE ARE IN TODAY.
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE STEEM?
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU?
A FAIR DAYS WORK FOR A FAIR DAYS PAY - OR A WBANKER?
FINANCIAL PARASITISM HOPES TO GET RICH OFF FINANCIAL SPECULATIONS - ON FINANCE, NOT THROUGH WORKING AND BEING PRODUCTIVE.
PRETEND TO CARE, PRETEND TO BE PART OF 'THE NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM' OF CRYPTO CURRENCY IF YOU LIKE - WHILE BEING THE VERY SAME WBANKER THAT 'THE NEW ECONOMY' CRITICIZES. I HOPE THE DARK IRONY IS NT LOST. (PRETENDING SERVES AVARICE VERY WELL...)
'OLD STEEM', 'NEW STEEM', 'PINK STEEM'..... WHATEVER. (sorry @whatsup)
ENTHUSIASM DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE MODEL THAT IS USED.
(and it is the total bastardization of real, true, capitalism).
I WILL NOW STEP DOWN FROM MY VERY HIGH, VERY SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, MORAL HILL.
Only a slightly more reflective, less 'morale high groundy' , note...
I came here two years ago to try and earn from my productivity - my content creation - and had no interest in the price of steem itself excpet in terms of earning from productivity.
Never as a conduit to satiate a greed for lots of money.
I was here just to make some money off my labors - or at least give it a go - just like 90% of people here, I would hazard.
Once I fully understood how it was built, how it worked - the shine wore off, and I became angry.
Angry at the system.
Angry at myself for not sussing it sooner. Doh!
Angry at all the time and effort I contributed to a structure that pretended to be something else on the face of it.
Angry at getting sucked into being a wbanker myself and playing my part.
Fuck!.
How about you?
Is honest labor and productivity your motivation?
Or are you a wanker, banker? (it's not big or clever being a banker, it's avarice). Avarice is the road to nowhere nice......
The funny thing?
I still hope to post here when I have more time - or find a better social media platform.
My loyalty to a financial product is slightly less than my loyalty to a rock.
As it would be to any sane person.
Emotional attachment to any product, is insanity.
(not to be confused with the cool people I've met here....most have gone now, sadly. They got it).
JUST WAIT FOR MY SUNDAY ROAST(ING)......!!!!!
(if I have the time).
I hope you like LOTS of stuffing....
A dtube presentation!!!!!...... be afraid, be very afraid.
