Tonight, I was on the blog of @dan talking about EOS. I met a new person had seemingly controversial views named @murda-ra who signs his comments as "Lucifer" aka the devil.

I also got into it briefly with @everittdmickey over oceans receding and human population growth numbers.

None of what we were talking about really matters as far as the subject of this post.. but it got me thinking... I have to state how excited I am to be able to talk to these two people.

What does matter, is the organic exchange of ideas and people that happens on this blockchain every second, every minute, of every single day.

That's not just how I feel. Many of you do too... How many like minded people have you met on steem? How many good conversations have you had? How many opportunities have you had to share you how feel about something in public?

You can really engage with people here!

You can converse, you can state your options, you can post your views and have them commented on...

From a technological perspective, this whole thing is nothing more than a Wordpress blog with multiple distinct advantages.

• Wordpress blogs don't pay their authors.

• Wordpress blogs don't pay their commenters

• Wordpress blogs don't pay their curators.

• Wordpress isn't decentralized. Shut down steemit.com, you have busy.org. Shut down that one, any website can display the steem chain. This is open source and decentralized free speech at its best!

....I like Wordpress.. and I think it's one of the best open source projects ever created beyond Mozilla and Firefox.

...but we have to give attribution to STEEMIT and STEEM and Dan Larimer and the people who worked with him....

He had some way of knowing... build social media on the blockchain. Come up with STEEM and SBD and it would fund itself. The user attraction would scale and create its own ever-growing community.

WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THIS?

I don't know what @dan ate for dinner that night before he dreamt up this concept, but it it worked, and continues to work. He deserves a NOBEL PRIZE for the best creation in my lifetime.

Why?

• I am meeting people on here, I never would have met otherwise.

• I am talking to people, that I probably would have had to board an airplane to meet them.

• I'm engaged. I can talk to real, solid people, through steemit that I could never ever do via twitter or facebook.

How much does it cost to join STEEM or STEEMIT?

IT'S FREE TO START

All of us are the early adopters in this.. wait until the rest of the world finds out!

P.S. If you like this... please re-steem. Don't be afraid. Lets tell the world. We have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
