RE: Why Should You Consider Accumulating Steem Power?
I too see a future of abundance and peace through blockchains and sharing economy. Great post brother @kevinwong

The only question I have at the moment is how the governments of the world will react when they start to realize the potential and impact of steem and steemit .
They are looking into building crap coins that are not open source and do not have true verification I would imagine ... And will try to push that on everyone ... I wish them luck on the endeavour lol
I see it a lot like the Linux window battle ... only this time open source got off the line first .
But opensource will always win out I think even linux has caught up and surpasses anything windows has to offer at this point .... http://www.kubuntu.org/ just installed the latest ...so so sweet....
And if we put steemit and the crypto world on a meshnet the possibilities are endless

Great points and thanks for kubuntu. Here on Steemit we can learn every day something new. Hope it is not too much for my little poor brain.
just burn it to disk or usb and run it live you don't have to install it .
I you just want to see what linux can do and has to offer the Knoppix live disk is quite impressive .

That more than likely will be exactly what they'll do with the added option of being able to increase the amount of coins so they can 'print' their way back to the top like they do with the current fiat system.
For once we have to stand our ground and make sure that the government understands that they are for the people by the people and that is exactly what this new cryptocurrency space is all about.
Countries have fallen for less ... I am watching to see what way the winds will blow ...best to stay alert right now . The pen is mightier than the cripto lol
And best remember who wields the pens.
Same brother, same.
Well, many people within governments probably will get involved more and more in crypto currencies themselves. Not because they want to bring crypto down, but because they want to profit, too.
"What? Why did you guys forget to send us an invite?"
Yeah, this scares me. They are trying to take notice but most people in places of leadership are not tech savvy at all....so they don't even understand it. You can't outlaw something you don't understand. That fact alone will buy us some time to win over the hearts and minds of the people. The number one job of a politician is to get re-elected so if we can win over the people with blockchain tech, by the time the grey hairs come around, they will be forced to support it. IMHO anyway.
Unless we have a Star Trek replicator I don't see how we can have abundance
Abundance is ever-present. Humanity supresses abundance through greed, power-mongering and other fear motivated maleficence. All real progress begins with faith, takes much effort and unity and ends with benefits. If it weren't for these, there'd be little to distinguish us from the animals and we would be living as they do.
I don't think we are much different than animals. As long as we all want to remain unique individuals abundance will be impossible. Value is created from scarcity. This is why diamonds cost so much more than sand.
I agree on the unique individuals point.
Value born of scracity is like fiat currency and has no tue value. Real value is generated by work and also lies in beneficial assets like arrible land, natural resources and ideas which enhance our environment.
If we were to develop an appropriate united world view which is truly benificent to all life, we could all comforatbly coexist.
It is the creation of scarcity based value which self serving entities purposely foster for personal or selective wealth accumulation which removes access to real value and real wealth which lie in life sustaining and improving factors.
It's not really about abundance or scarcity, it's about distribution. I believe there's enough resources to go round. There's just too wide a gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots". So any system that can help to reduce that gap will be beneficial and is welcome.
Governments are a danger, but they can not stop or eliminate blockchain. Let's Overcome.
I hope so.
If blockchains can prove themselves to be way more effective and able to render big governments useless, I think we'll see change happening in our lifetime. In the end, govs are people too.
That is the key: GOVS ARE PEOPLE. Impossible to describe it better.
Agreed. Why destroy the blockchain when they (people within governments) can have fun in it too and make some handsome profit?
But they are also organizations with rules. And as such, the people who populate them are attracted to the wielding of power over others. Governments are not voluntary and that is the crucial difference.
And all organizations have survival as their first operating principle not serving the stated goals of said organization.
We will see what happens in the not too distant future
Thanks @thejohalfiles, it looks like other technologies besides blockchain seem to be maturing in the right direction as well. Interesting times ..
