"It's not always easy overturning centuries-old establishments. But those that do have their achievements liberate humanity from the shackles of ignorance and tyranny."
This quote was taken from a talk given by Chris Horlacher of Equibit. The Equibit team is a client of ours. I look forward to them launching their Equibit securities platform to the world.
Here is a Recent Talk By Chris in Toronto at Tech Toronto.
Yep. Those centuries old establishments, often times, are the ones that hold back our development. One of my favorite anti-establishment comedians and social satire artists was George Carlin. Maybe "government or state" would have been better than "corporate", but Carlin is still the MAN. I'm not familiar with Equibit . . . but shoot, there are tons of stuff I still need to read up on.

I sure miss George, thank goodness he is immortalized but I am afraid he might become banned material in the future unless we win this information war.

"But that's the way we've always done it" - I hear from every end user when we do an upgrade that changes their process despite it becoming three times better.
Change and people have a love/hate relationship it seems.

I got a new user to join last night. A single foster mom of two who is likely going to adopt... she was talking about taking on a second job (she is a counselor) to help pay for insurance, et cetera.
I mentioned Steemit, gave her the 90 second sales pitch and she said, Let's do it!
I was awestruck... never had that happen before. She signed up last night and hopefully will introduce herself to us soon!

It is a great video for many of the new users here on Steemit. I recommend everyone go down the rabbit hole so that they can understand the birth of this movement.

Lolz, I used to sell televisions with Chris.
He was pretty good at it, as I recall, but like me, he would often talk about the steak instead of the sizzle. (He would talk about the new tech behind the TV, instead of how great that tech was for your movie watching experience)
First time I've heard of him in about 16 years. Good for him. I'm really happy to watch this video.

That statement is so true. A lot of times people want to stick to the norms but true change comes from someone who has an idea and the power to pursue it :)

Do what you've always done and you'll get what you've always got. The system needs to be shaken up every so often. I hate when people say they do something "because that's just the way it's done". Give me the rationale behind your actions and why you are on the best/most efficient course.
