I Woke Up, And It Was All Gone!

One day I go to look for specific posts I had written using Steem, and they had simply vanished...
It makes me wonder how long an incorrect post of this totally incorrect idea will last: “We now have a way to permanently make a statement to other people on the internet. ”
I suppose I could look at it as a good thing that it won't last and will one-day be dropped into the void by Steem.

Why the negativity?

Well, I just started reviewing all the content I could find produced by Craig Steven Wright The first time I read news about him, I saw that he was said to be a “scam” so I continued on with life “... Oh, it's just another Satoshi Nakamoto claim, that person would never be dumb enough to come out of hiding ...” Now that I am investigating the situation, I see a new image of the world.

Craig Wright also woke up one day to see it all gone.

I used to divide costs into two categories “Cost of Living” and “Cost of Staying Legal”. I always thought to myself “If I only had enough money to cover the 'Cost of Staying Legal' the staying alive part would not be so hard.” Sure I read all the classical scriptures about “money as a trap...” But I never understood it the way I do now. Craig Wright is still fighting the battle to “Stay Legal” regardless of how much currency he may have. It becomes an indefinite cycle, the more currency you have, the more 'law' wants to take it from you; then once more the “Cost of Staying Legal” is what you are fighting to achieve. I want to take back, what I said @ben now. I feel like a jerk. I only hope the netwrok can remove it without dropping my reputation to 0.

“When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”

It doesn't matter what I found, because I have nothing worthy of sale in this world.
This is the circumstance of the average citizen of the world. We have nothing to invest in because we have nothing to invest. Sure, Steem is that crypt-network I have found. However, because I have nothing to invest those with resources change it into something I don't want. I know others may be in my situation, and I worry about the future of Steemit as a result. Or was this the intent from the beginning?

The answer to what plagues us...

Don't give up on the freedom of association.
Make groups so like minded people have a place to go... Provide an avenue for whales to make a group that can keep the posts in the group “private”. This will allow people to think freely, associate and plan; before dumping out a public post, that could hurt both their reputation as well as Steemit's.
Facebook has perfected this from the onset. People post on Facebook thinking it is a private post. If we cannot provide this option for those on Steem, we will never pull out so much as 20% of Facebook users. Also, this is about more than fighting with Facebook. The real problem is that soon Steemit will be facing the hoards of people that are powering down to cash out. If private groups exist, more SteemPower will be required to influence such groups, creating new Steem buyers. The existence of private interaction will create a truly indefinite source of currency desire from the people who want to influence more people.
