Cryptocurrency is NOT just some money laundering scheme or a gateway for criminals to trade on the dark web. At least with Steemit, it's a completely open and free-to-use platform that has the potential to LIFT real people OUT OF POVERTY.

Its like a drug to me. A mental drug of which the highs are not only empowering but contagious.

I share the same notion with my fellow countrymen and Steemians @branlee87 on his podcast on whether regular steemians are able to make a living off the Steem blockchain. Many a times first world country cryptocurrency pundits talk about how payouts on Steemit are negligible therefore it has failed didnt realise they are not looking at the bigger picture. Steem aims to change the world and the change aren't hitting the well-to-do first.

It boggles my mind that something so astounding as the Steem Blockchain manage to stay under the radar for so long.. A real literal no-joke life changing opportunity and so far only less than a million people has taken up on it.
