RE: Would you stop using Steemit if your government made it illegal?
Well, I would probably develop SteemTor, but I wouldn't stop.
I probably won't stop posting on steemit even if they kill me.
I am not sure how I would go about reading and replying, that takes a lot of time of being in one spot.
I am pretty sure that T.H.E.Y. will shut down the internet.
It is the kind of thing that they know how to do, err.. the only thing they know how to do.
I am also very sure that the entire interwebs will be replaced, seemingly overnight.
Fear is the tool that T.H.E.Y. have. If you give into the fear, you will just have more rights drained away. Until you are locked in a room, where you manufacture things, being rewarded with things to eat.
I told an anthropology professor a little while back that our electricity could be turned off with a button, she called me naive.
Employed by one of the most expensive universities where I grew up which makes me glad I decided not to enroll. I wouldn't want to pay for someone to call me naive and on top of that be completely wrong.
Still, I bet for cryptocurrencies because I bet for humanity. Even if the electricity is taken we will find a way back to blockchains again.
Until then, stay fearless.
About electricity, read my latest blog. More specifics to come.

And I feel you, about many professors.
There have been too many classes where I taught the class, from the first row, or got all my art done in an economics class.
Or that time I argued with a physics professor that told me, in no uncertain terms, that I was completely wrong. The paper that came out later that week completely proved my point.
