partly yes and too some bigger parts not. Steemits number of daily active users gets lower and lower. We are on our way to under 4000 users world wide.
success in social media is not high upvotes and no readers and no comments. This is the definition of not-representative and not-popular.
Wir wissen dass du die Geduld verloren hast :D

Steemit is not Steem and Steem is not Steemit! It is simply a dapp that run over the Steem blockchain!
Great perspectives on how this continues to evolve. It will be interesting to see how governments and regulators use the technology themselves to continue the control and its hold on society.

I believe in many ways they already have been. As long as the mode of valuation is using their currency as the barometer, they will be able to dictate values while pump and dumping to their hearts desire. I believe that was the cause of the large spike when Bitcoin knocked on 20k, then quickly fell as they unloaded many of their coins they bought much cheaper. The next major step for crypto will be in growing avenues towards goods and services. Once the acceptance of crypto becomes more mainstream, whether directly or through a conversion service like we saw with the Shift card it will flip a little more.
I say that despite my belief that they actually would prefer us using crypto, and were discussing as far back as the late 1990's on how to encourage more online business by creating crypo applications to create a level of trust.
Good post
What an article! Have you heard of the BIS? The tower of basel?
I really enjoyed reading this. I have a lot of trouble trying to explain this to anyone.
It was the same for me when i used netscape navigator on windows 3.11 trying to explain www.
Maybe people will still stick to fax for a long time?

I will have to read up on the Tower of Basel. I found this book
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15843114-tower-of-basel
Which despite the negative reviews enjoys an overall decent review rating and looks to be a great starting point. The Federal Reserve definitely is not a home grown pyramid, and this looks like a good study for those who pushed the founding of it. Thanks for the tip.
already enjoying the gaming pyramids :) f2p but every fraction of steem/eos will count hopefully
This is highly occultic knowledge.
Thats also the explanation why it's fucking hard to explain these things to people.
Because they are trained to believe the opposite + trained to be ignorant + to be in inbalance with their brain parts
They cant process this information cuz it completely fucks their worldview.
And then they counter with the dumbest arguments.
Like Conspieracy or that it cant be because it's too easy too simple.
They overthink and make things more complicated than they are..
Especially compared with the science religion.
At least that's what I experienced in countless conversations..
Yes, it is difficult at times explaining. For what it is worth, it is difficult even when one understands not to slip up and not be lulled into autopilot as though we were immortal. You might enjoy this post I did about 8 months ago that bolsters the ideas in this post.

You know what I find crazy... how come we don't all receive houses as soon as we're born? All the houses/property that our great-great-great grandparents paid off, the houses that our great-grandparents paid off, the houses that our grandparent paid off.... I know things being passed down tends to dilute as family trees grow and expand out... but honestly, where are all the riches of the generations that preceed us. Is it all inflation? Medical costs? I just don't get it.
It has many causes, @luegenbaron is correct. The accrued wealth of one set of my grandparents was siphoned off through medical costs. This form of transfer upwards is very common. But that is just one of many ways the wealth gets transferred upwards.
Sometimes family members simply are to self involved to see the value in the items built up over time. I have bought at many auctions where prized memories and heirlooms were sold for a fraction of their value, along with items you can't attach a monetary value to such as diaries and pictures and such.
The last auction I attended was a storage unit 10x20 filled with items that had sat in it for 20 years. The wife had died through illness, the costs forcing their house of many years to be foreclosed. The man had packed up much of what was in it, including childhood toys of their son and his wifes diary and so much more. I estimate he paid 30k-40k in storage fees so his son could have it. The son was always a problem for them based on letters and court papers that were in it. I obtained the unit for a little over 700.00. The man had died and his son made no effort to reclaim the unit. he simply didn't care. Not that he would have been rich from it, but in this example his father would have been better off letting it all go and spent that 30-40k elsewhere as he had no one who cared enough to treasure it.
Lots of variables, but the system is designed to keep the velocity flowing upwards in the pyramid. Permits, taxes, usage fees, consultations. And of course, inflation. The families of the last 30 years will have it rougher as the pyramid masters have encouraged single parent households which are proven to earn less (with higher rates of poverty). These households will be more likely to have an exhausted parent from working hard (or low education living on small subsidies) who will have no time to counter any of the forced pyramid propaganda.
Thank you @practicalthought, that's very helpful.
It still does seem crazy... if each generation spends 45 years accruing wealth it's hard to imagine it all disappears into family tree branching out, health-costs and inflation... but I guess maybe it does. It kind of adds a futility to it all.
Hopefully blockchain and DAO is where the pyramid starts to peter out and flatten...
It went upwards not downwards

But how though? Tax?
Pyramide schemes..
Tax is one tool. One of many
