I mean, crypto is actually helping people in third world countries. Look at Venezuela, they have hyper inflation of like 19,000%. People start accepting crypto instead to avoid it. Crypto is borderless and (currently) governments can't regulate it easily.

Also I agree that blockchain will help fight against increasing censorship by governments and corporations. This is a big deal to me. Freedom of speech promotes the marketplace of ideas which to me is pivotal for a civil society to truly progress and to maintain a free society. If we only allow one set of ideas to be promoted in speech, then we are allowing mass groupthink to happen over time.

I'm thankful that I found steem and hoping it becomes massively adopted in the near future.

Really enjoyed the post
