Seriously - you have drunk your own piss for 30 years? - That is impressive, I only lasted a few months and then it became too much to cope with...
Thanks for all your compliments, I really like hearing stuff like that :)
One comment about whales that got me thinking differently is that they invested a bunch of $ in the platform, which we could do too if we wanted, so they are entitled to pass it round between themselves as they see fit.
Since taking that on board I've stopped being disturbed by what they do. And I've long been aware from seeing someones reputation go down from 52 to minus 2 in a day, that you NEVER want to pick a fight with a whale!
I understand the investment concept. That is something of a problem in itself if Steem really wants to serve as a currency. The principal role of a currency is to facilitate trade. Stocks and investments are to buy and hold while a currency's function is to spend it. Also a currency needs price stability to be able to safely guarantee what future expenses will be in doing business and longer term planning. Right now cryptos resemble stocks much more than currencies.
My main concern regarding the whales is that using money as a measure of content and influence which will over time be damaging to the Steemit platform. It's what happens currently and for far too long in society and yields dysfunctional results. My suggestion is to have another option to voting that is based on quality such as a one to five star rating system that determines what is trending and is not tied to rewards.
In the long run Steem will need to have some desirable economic base that appeals to others outside of itself or perhaps an internal marketplace if it is going to be able to pay for its maintenance costs.
I saw that you have another post, I'll check it out. Cheers.
I think the secret to the urine therapy is don't drink too much. As you mention it's a bit like like homeopathy so a little bit goes a long way. I do three swallows not a big glass, it's not beer after all! Urine has also been used as an eye wash successfully for some conditions though I haven't tried that.
