Thank you for this. At a time when the price of steem is going down, this story should make it clear that besides just earnings, steemit can also be seen as a new way of doing things in freedom. I am sure a lot will find this post inspiring and give a glimpse of how steemit can help by showing a new path to people who are seeking an alternative.

And yes, thanks to the developers, who thought of this and actually coded it to give us steemit.
