There will always be Steem to pay contributors, it's inflationary.. EOS will also be inflationary. But the level of inflation is far below most governments.

Ya you are still here early in my opinion, so you are investing in that future too.. get more Steem and you gain more ability to help towards that good future on here. My upvote used to not be worth very much. Just a little change in price has had a decent impact though.. things like steemgigs and people like surpassinggoogle do lots for the younger people.. this is an intricate ecosystem and we are here early in it's growth still.

My hope is that by that time it will kind of be too late, and they will have to relent control. Well the bullishness of war and all the negative things governments pay for, we can upvote road developments and city projects. Vote for a president and audit it ourselves just for fun. Blockchains could do crazy things
