Steemit... a pretty amazing concept, part socialist, part capitalist, part communist, all internet...
Chances are, this couldn't have happened the way it did if it wasnt for the involvement of a 13-year-oldkid back in the day....
Rss, reddit, none of it would exist the way it is today without his input..
I invite those who aren't already aware of this tragic real life tale of a genius trying to do good, punished by the government's desire to control, to watch the following documentary .. be warned it's endearing and inspiring and life affirming and also deeply upsetting, as real life sucks... if only this could have had a happy ending, we would all be living in a better world by now... and im sure steem would be all the better for his input..
enjoy

Great documentary. It makes me sad each time I have watched it.
