I just deleted my farcebook account. I'm all in on this blockchain thing. It was a necessary move.

It had become a crutch.

The straw that broke the addict's habit?

CENSORSHIP

I spent money on Facebook. I had my business page there and paid for advertising there.

I had a relatively vast human network there. People that provided value to me, and that I like to think got value from me.

And I just left that behind to make my life better.

I was trying to share a link with my friends to a podcast episode from a podcast called Mises Weekends. Here it is now, uncensored. It's a short podcast about decentralization. Progress. And how that can be used by the American "left" and "right." Primarily the left though. An interesting notion from an Austrian economic publication, wouldn't you say? Go listen to it, I guarantee you'll benefit from it.

The straw that broke the addict's habit

I talked about often about deleting my account. Many of my friends scoffed every time I griped on farcebook about farcebook. We all got a chuckle from the irony. I decided it was time to nut up or shut up.

It's time to act.

What am I going to do?
I make good money. In the 80th percentile in America. Why the fuck don't I have any money?

It's time to hone back in. Time for me to focus. Q1 2018 was a time of great progress. Q2 has been a time of starting projects and losing focus. Q3 is time to nut up or shut up. I'm slacking on improving the quality of life my family enjoys. Progress has stalled. We've not regressed, except in the sense that if you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards.

I have so many ideas and projects that I've neglected or not developed. All my ideas are great. They're practical, applicable, and relevant to my goals of increasing our quality of life. It's time to get back in that zone. That area of hyper focus.

How does it help to leave farcebook?

That place is a distraction. Seeing the same posts from the same companies all the time. Recycling the ads for things that are useless. The petty needs for attention. The bickering with people you love over trivial shit. The obvious breaches of personal privacy.

It's all meant to undermine personal development and social progress. I'm tired of bitching about it. Now I don't need to anymore. I'm done.

Being here, I have an accountability system. If I stray from the path, I have this record and you people to guide me back. That's what I see here. That's what I've come to expect here.

As I lead my family to a better quality of life, I can document it here. I can share my progress and even be rewarded a bit. Any upvote is better than a "love react."

I'm glad they pushed that last button. I'm glad to become more committed to progress. I'm glad to be here on steem, and to be all in on steem.

I want anyone reading this to follow and engage. I'll try like hell to engage back and encourage and push you to great progress as well. That's why I'm here. To be relevant. To stay relevant. To increase in relevance in ways that will make life better. Because we're supposed to be the change we want to see in the world, right? Decentralize progress. Everyone make progress on an individual level, and everyone will progress together.

Let's do this.

Stay relevant.
