I agree with your idea of that its a waste of intellectual power, the things going on at wall street.
That's what Bitcoin and the Crypto Space is changing now, slowly but surely.
I am holding an masters in economics and I am proud I never worked for a bank or in an "wall street"-kind-of job. I try to use my life and energy on only morally sound things! So thats also why I love Steem, Bitcoin, Ether and so on...
Happy to be part of the new freedom and anarchistic community.
