Money in the world today is created out of thin air by a small elite group at the expense of everyone else.
I Stand For What Feels Best!
My name is Guillaume Cardinal.
Sane or insane we all stand for what feels best.
We sometime call it what feels right or what we know to be true.
It sometimes hurt at first or feels like a sacrifice but still...
I take a stand against centralized powers concentrating ever more power to themselves.
I take a stand against these parasitic systems leaving us with an ever smaller pie. This doesn't have to be this way.
I'm here today helping in the creation of decentralized systems of money creation and information dissemination.
Billions of Women and Men are Suffering Needlessly
*(OXFAM)
While we are chasing "pennies" in hope of securing a bit of luxury or our future, some are literally starving to death while other are creating wealth out of thin air but I take a stand against these status quo.
I stand for whatever empowers individual sovereignty!
I Stand Against the Initiation of Violence
I stand in the belief that initiation of violence is not necessary to live in a well ordered society and that everyone’s life would be better off if it could be achieved. This is a belief I choose because there is insufficient evidence to prove violence is necessary. Dan Larimer (Ex-CTO of Steemit) [1]
Manipulation and initiation of violence are at the very heart of all wars. I stand against war.
*Disclaimer: The Art of War - by Sun Tzu (514–495 BC) is my favorite book.
Steem Stands For Truth!
Steem distills "truth" through consensus and the risk of loss with every act of governance Steemians are taking.
The greater the risk someone is willing to take the stronger their faith in their opinion/truth and the greater their resulting profit or loss will be.
Some things are neither true nor false, yet consensus is required and the result of that consensus has impacts on all of society. [2]
I will discuss ALL the numbers regarding Steem consensus in an upcoming article.
I use Steem to empower individuals.
Steem Gives Super Powers!
Lies empower people at the expense of those who believe in the lies. Feeling disempowered always feels wrong. No one wants less power, everyone wants more.
Assumption is the mother of all fuckups. [3]
No information should ever be taken at face value. Because wars are based on deceptions and because all countries must rely on war to secure their sovereignty, a large part of human society is based on lies.
Steem is today the best source of mass "truth", yet it doesn't guarantee truth but it guarantees there is no abuse.
Assuming all individuals can communicate and have incentive to live in the truth then truth will prevail. If there is incentive to believe a lie, then the lie will prevail.
Society can function even if everyone draws the wrong conclusion... at least there is no abuse. Dan Larimer [4]
I'm Steeming the world I want to live in, not by opposing the current one but by creating the world I want.
Ned Scott Steemit’s CEO on Steem mass adoption
"We’ll get to a point where it’s a no brainer and people are waking up to it." (source)
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility!
Steem is currently use to educate people on all sorts of subjects. Steem is revolutionizing education, information dissemination, money creation and thus the world we live in. Use Steem wisely.
Provably fair systems of money creation can only be decentralized and code based thus the need for coding to occupy a preponderant place in education. I stand to make this a reality.
Thank You! Thank You!

This is a very powerful post-- thank you for writing this; re-steemed!
The beauty of Steemit is that it serves as a gateway that allows us to take what is merely "ideologies" for a better world and move those forward in a functional sense by sharing with the world.
What I mean to say is that it's "nice" that people meet in coffee shops and discuss making a better world... and then they go home and feed their cat, and nothing happens. Here, we have the actual infrastructure to start making things happen... and that's awesome. And much like an avalanche, it only takes a small snowball to start an entire mountain of snow moving...

It's so true @denmarkguy! It's cool to talk about changing the world and money creation in particular for me and talking about it is the very start but until we take more meaningful it isn't enough. And Steem is making bettering the world a much easier and accessible task. With Steem it's harder not to change the world than to change it.

I feel your joy! I know about the site too little to be as happy as you are, but I’m a huge enthusiast who’s trying to figure out the way how to contribute to the community and how to get to know contributing accounts. I’m not 100% sure yet whether this site is as awesome as it seems to be, but I’m inclined to believe so, even though there are some things that bother me a bit (mainly this but even this if you were interested). But face it, who wouldn’t be as happy as you are if he were as successful :D. I’m though even when no one knows me! :)

I read your two post. I feel you. Things can be though. With the up coming change to the reward curve things will be so vastly different, I'm not sure people realize how different things will be. Things will be a lot fairer. Also think about the cents we are making as possible dollars in the future. That's what happened with Bitcoin. Also think about the fact that I'm currently holding around 15k worth of Steem which means I have a lot to lose too. I've must have put 20-40 hours a week since I begin. I get what you mean but I can't expect to make a Youtube video and make as much as Pewdiepie but he could totally come on here and 100% he'd hit the top trending post of the day. That's life. It's a numbers game. Thank you for you comment.

That's what i believe, there's still a whole book full of blanc pages to write on steemit, that allow each one of us to be authentic and share meaningful and profound insight... I believe: the more authentic, the more you reach out and attract authentic sensible human beings... when we stand together in recreating a fair honest and sustainable community, we evolve a market made to adapt, made from and for the people. So our content, our honest human content can be of great importance to establish diversity and constantly recreating a dynamic and evolving platform for starving artists to thrive with their own work.
Still, I have mixed feelings of amazement and excitement, frustration and creative survival mode.
We're currently offering 20% discount on all our pieces; https://steemit.com/promotion/@unusualconcept/20-off-on-all-our-products
it's a way to offer something, as well as getting our work known and find some support in this community. Lately things have been harder with our project like never before, this whole world war climate, we can't sell enough to pay the bills, it's hard to think on a virtual currency when you're constantly surviving from penny to penny. Thanks to Steemit, we have hope and a community that truly understand the struggle an artist faces in this kidnapped world.

dude i love seeing steem translate over into real financial confidence in the real world...women can smell if a man actually has money or not, women can also telll if youre getting paid regularly and have some sort of goldmine going for you, it will help us alot, steemit dating it is the future
Now women will be able to actually see how much money a man has, or how fast he is earning, and this will make dating alot more honest, also will bring many new problems, but yeah we should be cultivating local groups in real life onto steemit
i just love seeing people get paid and having fun in real life with crypto profits
yes with money comes responsibility, Im sure you have an urge to build, to build companies and great projects and even buildings even maybe like solar panel powered organic farms, this steem money frees us up to do all the projects and dreams weve been wanting to do
