RE: 1 year on Steemit - creative commons & crypto currencies
Well this is awkward. It's my one year too, 13 moons today!
Love your post though, and bruh, blockchain and decentralize everything.
Keep an eye on OpenBazaar for buying and selling goods, they are becoming crypto-coin agnostic, meaning they are for ALL CRYPTOS and integration directly for any coin that wants in can join, and for now they already got @shapeshiftio going (they just came out with the Beta yesterday, go check it out)
Bisq, this used to be known as http://bitsquare.io - Unfortunately to have a good crypto exchange you need to have volume, but hopefully that is something being built, it is definitely a project you should keep an eye on too, also coin agnostic.
Dropbox is being done away with things like Sia or Storj with hopefully even better solutions on the horizon.
Music and movies and other media, look at LBRY, DTube, DSound.
Lots of great things going on right now, hope you keep up with things and find a way to work in your arts through it all. I think the best artists are existing with themselves irl and digital, I say that because a majority of comic book artists basically walk this line, huge huge social presence, and then huge huge irl presence as well. Can't wait for a non-blockchain based on jumps in to these places heavier and starts supporting some of the artists on the digital side. I follow at least 10 people I would rather be buying comic books written or drawn by than a lot of what is out to the general public.
Thanks for all the blockchain links. Bisq sounds very interesting - but sadly both open-bazaar and Bisq is .deb-centric while I use rpm :(
I will use this autumn to try to gather how I best use the internet, right now I am a bit weakened by my boycott of the mainstream social media.
I think there are many OB users of many different flavors of Linux and from what I am reading, the rpm to deb is not an overall issue with something called Alien:

Unrelated, someone made a decent comment ".debs are for Ubuntu/Debian Linux, not "Linux", the download page should say "Ubuntu" https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenBazaar/comments/5eco1t/debs_are_for_ubuntudebian_linux_not_linux_the/
Nothing is going to be big until things are one click install so grandma can do it, but for now hopefully they will at least tweak little things like the wording above or provide more packages, at the least though members of the OB community do seem to be different enough where others had this hiccup too
