Very interesing. I love rabbit holes (not in the literal sense of course, hah!). I knew about cryptocurrency since 2011 and never dived into it, feeling like I didn't need t
It to do my life. Just one of those things that's out there that exists without me needing to be a part of it. Then I met a classmate this past semester who's really into it and introduced me to steemit. And now I'm realizing just how important this is... Like many things I fear that it's not happening fast enough , ironically. However, what I see different in the blockchain compared to all other technology is this; through programmed obsolescence, centralization, and the drive for profit, many if not all technological advances are slowed down. Heck, a light bulb used to last hundreds of years before it was engineered to last only a 1000 hours. But blockchain simply cannot be slowed down by money! Can it? I don't see how. It's a whole other form of monetizing the world, and it's incredible! I barely know anything about it, and I'm eager to learn more. 2018 will be the year I dive into this very interesting rabbit hole. Here I come!! Haha
