I really wish I'd read this when I joined @steemit. This has really helped as I get so confused with this stuff and find the entire blockchain concept difficult to follow. I do like the philosophies of decentralisation and of self-regulation. The former, because I am done with the big bad boys who care not a jot for the little people. Self-regulation has its own challenges, mostly because it's as good as the people who regulate themelves. That's the way of the world, though, isn't it? Thanks again.
