This was supposed to be a somewhat short conversation related to the long term vision of cryptocurrencies. Other people joined and it became a very long conversation. Honestly, I'm kind of happy it happened this way. The philosophy behind cryptos is nothing that can be explained in two sentences and anyone who is trying to be part of our little revolution requires curiosity, hunger for knowledge.

As with many of the Meetings we have on @helpie I recorded it. I was not sure it would be something worth listening, but it was entertaining. In the very least it was entertaining to everyone who participated of the conversation.

Full Recording

Some Things we covered

• How cryptocurrencies work
• What's the need for them
• The inflation issue
• Perspective on MarketCaps of Cryptocurrencies
• Financial Systems
• Government Regulation
• Future Valuation
• Perspective and History of Price
• Long term vision
• Value propositions
• Sustainability of Crypto
• Steem and it's sustainability
• What SMTs bring to the table

Honestly the conversation was more than two hours and many more things were discussed as well. However, attempting to list them all would probably give someone a headache. The flow of the conversation was organic, it went where it needed to go.

Want to be part of @helpie ?

We are always looking for community oriented members to come join our group. If you understand the value of a community, the power of cooperation and believe in the long term vision of Steem and it's communities, we would like to hear from you.

I hope the conversation we had has value to you and that it continues. Like I've said before this is not a quick sprint, its a marathon and education is the way forward.

Hope everyone is having a beautiful day.
