RE: Let's Talk About Fees & Functionality Coming in the @tippy Text-to-Tip Service!
Some men are leaders or rulers, others aren't capable of thinking beyond what they were taught in schools.. I view countries as tax farms, governments as gangs in business suits and the whole current economic system as a terrible friggin' joke.
Ever since we moved away from the gold backed standard the thought of putting ones life hours in the garbage to earn endlessly printed fiat monopoly money is nothing short of ridiculous... Sadly most people believe that their govt, dollars and society exist to benefit them.
As long as the internet exists I will be able to survive on my knowledge and skill without ever having to force myself to go slave for worthless fiat.
Cryptocurrency, coding and charisma set me free. I wish more people were able to break away from the fugazi without having to crash and burn as I once did.
I live in between; Can't throw the old out, while the new is still a baby and not proven. Reality in my view is: crypto and fiat shall be bridged in many ways, let commercial businesses pay partially in crypto and partially in fiat to be allowed to use the services, eg here on Steemit. That gives funds people can pay there bills with and the crypto can stay as volatile as it is. Only in time and market cap, number of coins, and stable services/fund flows, stability in the coins will happen. Use the commercial businesses to speed this up big time. Anyway, just my humble opinion, being a little less a revolutionair rather a pragmatist. Need to find some drink and bed. Enjoy your 48 hrs shift :)
I rarely hold fiat as the potential on BTC and other Crypto holdings is way better than the damn Canadian Dollar!
However that being said if BTC crashed tomorrow I'd be friggin' screwed. It used to bother me a lot more than it does now. Although after being to the top and the bottom nothing really irks me anymore.
I hopefully one day can find a way to live 100% without fiat. However I've not found a way to do so yet.. Rent still gets paid in fiat and the hope is to clear my debts in the next year and get myself a house to start building equity.
Excited for what the future holds and what will be created. I truly think as folks who are aware of crypto currencies we are a step ahead of the average joe.
Just about burnt out, It's been a long night / day but will likely convert the @tippy service to a flat fee and implement a few more features before I let myself rest.
Cheers man. Thank you for sharing your story and insight. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you as well! :)
