Starve The GORGle

in #steemit7 years ago

Hello good People of Steemit. This is my first post. Hope You like it.

It was the early days of the internet. A world of knowledge could be accessed at the click of a mouse. It was great, but it was not a very secure place, so I told Myself never to post any personal information, or any information at all, anywhere. I stayed true to that for a while, but like everyone on the internet I needed an email address. Gmail seemed like a logical choice, so I set up an account. ( Ever notice when You open an account They call You the user, when in fact it is They who are the users.) New services were being offered on a regular basis and I opted out whenever I was prompted to join. I don't know what happened, but that simple little email account had transformed into a full blown everything account.
Then one day, in a moment of clarity, I came to realize that my resistance had been futile, I had been assimilated by the GORGle.

What could be done to escape? It had spread far, it had spread wide. The collectives were giving of themselves freely to the GORGle. Some even worshiped the GORGle, not knowing of any other world.
Salivating at the thought of fresh, new, original content, being brought to it every second of every day, the GORGle gobbled up everything, leaving only piles of excrements where it had previously been.

It was hopeless. The GORGle had grown too big, too powerful. No one would escape the collective. It was unstoppable.
For years the GORGle went unchallenged.

Then one day, out of a pile of excrements, a bloom started to appear. It was a beautiful bloom with a beautiful scent. The GORGle thought nothing of the bloom and ignored it. The bloom grew and began to spread in the fertile piles of feces. The locals took a liking to the bloom and named it Bitcoin.
Soon more varieties of blooms started to appear, each with it's own unique beauty and aroma. They became cherished by all who crossed their path, and became known as the Cryptos.

It was a pleasing time, the air was filled with wisps of fragrance from the Cryptos. Some had the scent of freedom, some the aura of privacy, others the essence of honesty. They grew and began to flourish in the very fertile dung left behind by the GORGle.
The aromas emanating from the Cryptos, although pleasant to all, were highly offensive to the GORGle. To it, the cryptos had the stench of death, it's own death! Something had to be done. Shame and ridicule were hurled upon the Cryptos, tulips and weeds they were called, but the Cryptos were oblivious to this kind of treatment and continued to spread.
Sensing danger and being surrounded by the Cryptos, the GORGle was eager to expand it's dominance.
Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a new entity came into being. A mighty entity, even more ominous than the GORGle itself. It merged with the GORGle and made the GORGle accountable to it. What was this entity? Where did it come from? How could it have so much power to enslave the GORGle in such a way?
The entity, calls itself the Alphabet, but this is no ordinary type of alphabet . No, not at all, the letters of this alphabet are all in CAPITOLS.
In order to be able to control the GORGle, this entity must be the alpha of all the beasts. It must be the Alpha Beast.
The Cryptos went on, disregarding the emergence of the Alpha Beast.
Very soon after a new bloom, a new essence was detected that very few had ever experienced before. It brought many in, curious as to what this new scent was. It had been emanating from the Steemit Crypto, but what was this scent that no one knew? Ahh, it was the scent of value, prosperity, wealth, all of which had been previously snatched away by the GORGle. The Steemit Crypto has the remarkable capability of taking from the GORGle and to giving to the creators. It is like a digital Robin Hood of the crypto realm.

The Steemit Crypto works on the premise that all Humans have value, intrinsic value, the only true intrinsic value. The GORGle knows this and has been exploiting all of Humanity for decades.
This ability of the Steemit Crypto, to take nourishment away from the GORGle, gives it great might, it possesses the ability to essentially starve the GORGle.
The GORGle and the Alpha Beast became very angry. They gathered Their armies and ventured into fields where the Cryptos were growing. It was difficult to overcome the stench, that they smelt, but several times they attempted to stomp out and eradicate the Cryptos, but each time they returned smelling of their own feces and with the stench of death on their palate. The Cryptos became resilient to the attacks and came back more bountiful each time.
What will be the outcome of this conflict? Will the GORGle be starved? Will the Cryptos be destroyed?
The battle rages on to this day. You can do Your part, shout it to the elders, whisper it to the young, tell it to all.
Don't feed the GORGle, use Steemit for all Your postings.
