RE: Steem and Writing – Another Lane on the Highway to Hell?

in #steemit8 years ago

Cheers. I've actually been thinking a lot about the blockchain and the writings of the so-called anarchists about crypto and the like, but so far I've shied away from tackling this head on in writing. It's a bit of a minefield and, like you, one of the things I've appreciated here so far is the general atmosphere of respect and courtesy. I'm a bit worried that might not survive lobbing a grenade into the anarchists' midst; they tend to chuck them back!

Sort:  

I definitely don't recommend grenade chucking! And I definitely relate to the approach of observing. I find myself increasingly interested in Steemit's potential as a conversation tool. Controversy can be a cheaply exploited hook, but is also the keeper of all the good questions. I think you've asked a good question is all. I've found that when I feel like something is off here and no one seems aware of it that within a week it will come out and become a topic for a moment, like the bot wars topic. It may be that this question will ask itself. :)
