I may never understand the blockchain-- sounds like the catalyst of a spy novel in which jack-booted thugs plot the takeover of the world, and their first target (facebook) yields personal information and "likes" and consumer information beyond their wildest dreams. So why would they need steemit in addition to facebook to cull new converts, however covertly...? Eh. Let someone else solve that conudrum. I'm off to spread cheer -and bitcoins-and to counter the something from nothing theory. Good excuse to cue Billy Preston - Nothing From Nothing (1974)
