RE: How could Steemit help with world poverty?

in #news7 years ago

Thanks Farron, it’s been great to have you sitting in. I’ve been following you on RoF from the beginning and as always, great honest work.

Taking Ben Carson’s advice to heart, in 2017, sick of being poor, I changed my State of Mind. Sadly my ”Boss” (estimated net worth +/- $100Billion) didn’t change his state of mind and continued taking for his own organizations four-time what they gave me for each of my books they sold. At the time that seemed to be the only real game in town and I’d freely signed-up for that deal, and so my point is as much an observation as it is a criticism.

In 2018, I changed my state of mind again, and here I am on Steemit. Still poor, but that’s ok, at least now there’s a real opportunity for that situation to change for the better. And that’s the thing about Steemit/Steem, it has democratized opportunity. Maybe that’s the wrong term to use, but that’s how it feels to me.

I’ll be following the comments here and see what ideas the community comes up with, but the fact that they’re actively creating ideas that might help, is restoring my faith in humanity.

Riding and smiling as always ….. Geoff
