Oh absolutely the lack of transparency is a problem. The fact that corporations and large donors can hide behind super pacs and the like is terrible. It would be great if such a process was an open blockchain but, then you have the task of convincing people to run nodes. And in a country (USA) where you have a hard time getting people to even vote, I think it'd be difficult

I have noticed media putting the "fright" into the masses. I enthusiastically share what I am learning about blockchain, smart contracts, IoT and ultimately AI society. They look at me say something absurd like, "Are you not concerned about the Singularity?", the belief that if we will make technology too smart it will somehow gain consciousness. The public needs to be educated. Of course, we know who is controlling the media. It becomes a vicious circle. The next thing you know they will be creating distractions like launching dummies into space in Teslas, oh wait...
The blockchain is here to stay. Cryptocurrencies are not going anywhere. They are designed this way. Little by little society is waking up and when they do everything is in place to move forward. If everything goes awry, Satoshi Nakamoto holds the kill switch, which is his(?) share of a million coins. Fed back into the system they will bring it down overnight. Of course as long as all goes as planned, this will never have to happen.
Oh for sure, I agree with you, the blockchain is an amazing technology. Continue to share, we need people like you to show people that blockchain isn't about elicit dealings and Ponzi scheme. It has some real world use cases.
There's also no doubt the media has a biased viewpoint. I think a lot of times people forget that these companies are here for a profit and fear, hate, murder, terror, all sell page clicks and create discussion. Doesn't matter to them if it's the truth or not. That's where platforms like this come in handy. Just got to make Steemit get Facebook level famous.
Keep up the good work!
