RE: We're still HERE after one YEAR, but then again, so are the SJWs! 😱

future leaders will show more love to under privileged countries and folks

Forget about relying on others to accomplish such things, as they are generally little more than empty promises combined with a hefty price tag.

However, I believe that blockchain projects such as STEEMIT are already showing tremendous possibilities in exactly that regard. Just think, anywhere you are in the world, you have as much chance as most anyone else to add value to the platform, and receive a potentially valuable "reward" in return. And, wherever you are in the world, you can send or receive money to anyone else in under 3 seconds flat!

And it didn't even take a single politician to accomplish it. How revolutionary is THAT! :)

Couldn't agree with you more. Did a dtube video and posts where I went back in time to get some shots of an ancient enclave and waterfall and earned sbd plus other posts. Steemit is helping many even students like myself to earn and enjoy good things of life when govt has failed in all endevors! Thanks for the insights and yes, I agree once more with you . Keep it coming and surely for your likes I did mention in my previous post I had found my voice to sing again...😘

so sorry to hear about your mother, but thrilled to hear that through STEEMIT you were able to gain the motivation to start singing again!

Music has often helped me to re-balance and find my footing again through various "tough times", and having the urge to sing along amplifies that effect even more, well, for me at least! :)

You don't believe there are empty promises on this platform? You don't believe there is a political edge to this platform? If there were no empty promises or politics involved there'd be no bickering over witnesses or the Bernie Sanders of steemit.

STEEMIT definitely has its issues (which, in fact, are much bigger than just the ones you brought up). That's also what I meant when I wrote in my other comment to you:

The fascinating aspect of the blockchain, however, is that many interesting ideas are being discussed in an attempt to better address such issues.

What's revolutionary about STEEMIT is that it served to validate the concept of a "gift economy". And over time, if it doesn't adapt to address its shortcomings, it too may very well fade away into obscurity, only to be replaced by an improved model that does better address those problems. But for now, it's still a tremendous leap (at least from my perspective) over FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube.

And if you want to make the case that everything eventually devolves into chaos and complete corruption well, historically I can't really argue that either, except to say that perhaps certain algorithmic models, given enough transparency and enforced accountability, can serve to minimize some of it...
