even though a lot of people on here espouse sort of this new age
I don't. Steemit is extremely capitalist, and that's what I love about it. It's not star trek perfection and I make no bones about it.

A Rumination: Steemit, Contradiction, And Economics / Or The Inevitability Of The Whale Hunt
Exactly! Nor do I! Hence this post - which is just me pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation we find ourselves in - the way it is still cutthroat and then, just when you think I'm going to call for the death of the whales - instead I turn it into an advertisement.
And with good products nonetheless.
I stand by the post, I won't do it again, because I would never risk the well being of a bunch of other people for my own whimsy. But I stand by it - and i stand by my point in that earlier comment.

The IRS notices on crypto currency currently treats freshly mined currency as real income, taxed in the year it is received, with a basis at whatever the value was when you received it. This creates a wide variety of potential tax implications, which mean nothing to me, but could be important for you to consider.

I take issue with the word "cutthroat". I'm cutting no one's throat. Capitalism isn't about cutting throats or violence.
I know it's just an expression and you didn't mean it literally, but you are putting words in my mouth.

I meant it in the traditional, economic, wall street sense of the word - I didn't mean to imply any kind of physical violence and certainly didn't mean to attribute that meaning to you at all. It was just a turn of phrase
