New day, new dawn, let's move on and see where the next penny falls from. Are we there yet? How much further is there to go? We have only just begun is the answer that reflects back from the mind.

Everyone I meet wants to put 2 million into the Steem chain and pull out 250 million. I want to do the opposite. pull 2 million from the chain and return 250 million. Maybe I am swimming the wrong way. What? if it is not me swimming the wrong way though. Okay that phrase is getting old now I should stop using that for a while or I will sound like a broken record.

Have ye seen that 130 million there for the taking. That would put a bulge in yer pants and she'd be happy to see you. You can get a piece of that pie by subscribing to the @yeswecan account. For as little as 0.10 Steem per week you can gain yourself a share in a ticket for 2 draws. To share that out I would have to buy Steem Inc. and then maybe wait some time for more Steem to build up so we could buy more to finish paying people out in Steem.

What would you do with 1 Million Steem in your account Power down or begin your own projects?

We also gained some SBI (Steem Basic Income) From @Ecoinstant and a post we wrote for that. Now we have to find a way to provide 7 Steem back in SBI.

@ecoinstant Thank you.
P.S. Let us know who you would like us to support with the 7 SBI.

I know what I would be doing and were I would be heading. Passport, plastic card and I would be at the airport.

Until then I will be here, posting sharing my thoughts and growing the support needed for the things I feel are essential for a successful future. Both here and the reality of the physical world and the positive influence we can have.

We, us on the Steem chain now can build to create a demand for Steem. This is what will increase the value for the Steem we hold and the value we get from it.

The situation we have now with new flag wars being instigated. The use of certain bots are down-voted while other bots are not. This can only serve to isolate a bot from being used and force members to use only bots selected by a small group. The same account who grew previously from the use of bots now use that gained power to down-vote those who use them now.

While those who use the purchase of a vote to grow their account get a vote that does not read or give the post a value before it votes. It votes to the percentage designated by the script.
When a post gets down-voted the down-vote should provide a reason. stating why they deem the post over valued for the down-vote. Failing this, it has no value as a down-vote other than to cause drama on the chain. It all has a negative effect. if value can be placed on a post or blog. maybe a maximum amount of reward a post can get should be established.

I keep coming back to limiting the growth for new comers and increasing the growth for those at the top.

Finding or trying to find a positive view to all of this I find difficult at best. It could be debated that the 50 - 50 split will provide opportunity for those with big stake to vote to other and still gain a significant reward for their stake. It reduces the push toward self voting fo those with a higher stake and offers a more reward-able route for whales to take than was previously available.

Permit the bots or don't. If they are there they should be allowed to be used by those who want to use them. If you oppose them, Start a campaign not a war.

Maybe there are advantages we do not see because of the blinders we place upon our views.

The new guy to the block, they can gain by following a community with their vote and gain a bigger reward than previous. after the curve I am unsure though if this would be any advantage to a new comer. The value of their vote would be just to small to gain a reward, unless they got in early and a big vote came after. (soon after)

The end outcome is it favours the higher stake. It is the higher stake that makes the rules though.

The next Hard Fork will come we will not agree with something. It will happen anyway because a higher stake wants it. Such is the mirror of life in the current global consciousness. All the negativity will come at us again and haunt the progress we make as we stop to discuss the next alteration to what we have become accustomed.

Unless we grow an alternative voice to speak out for the environment of the smaller individual. They will never get the representation they deserve. The power finance holds over our daily lives and the decisions we will make is nothing more than enslavement.

Enslavement is right and it is a mental enslavement. Steem can be the main tunnel out of the current enslavement we are all held to. It is a prison that we need to tunnel our way out of. We have to make that tunnel together.

To me it seems there is no ambition for the Steem chain. There is only how can an individual gain from it. The concept of how can everyone gain seems to be buried beneath words of we are great at what we do. I know better than you.

Knowing better than you is not something I think I know, I just see some things differently to you. There might be some things like Printing that I know a bit more about than the average person, maybe some things about the Bar trade. There could be many things I know or have the ability to do that you do not, The same goes for vice-versa too though. So we are equal on that one over-all.

I do see the way things are going with a different perspective to most it seems. While many are working on individual projects. I see them becoming reliant on Steem as the primary manner to function.

I am still waiting for someone to explain to me.
Why any business would get involved and trade with a currency that is so volatile from day to day or even hour to hour. The risk of loss is too great to bring in trade.

For us here now. Over time there will be a greater need for Steem power to provide the ability to reward posts on the Steem chain. The more Steem that is powered up the better. For the security of the SBD peg. The more Steem powered up is also a division of the reward pool. The there is powered up the more of it you will need to provide the same level of reward.

Authors, artists of all kinds might find Steem Chain a place to trade their items, Making a living from posting on the chain long term decreases. a greater and greater number of followers voting will be needed to keep up with a reward to cover weekly needs.

What if?
There was a way to make a difference, reward those that get involved, invested or took part in the project in any way. Provide a resource for the Steem chain that works for the success of the Steem chain.

We could create a genuine demand for Steem that is ongoing. Increasing over time possibly to more than the daily reward pool creates. What price would you like Steem to reach?
The demand for Steem could outdo that of Bitcoin.

For any of that to happen though we would have to start doing things a bit different.

Or is it just easier to turn a blind eye. You get used to things after a while and that becomes the new norm. All the while giving away more and more of your freedom.

I should probably write a post about that. Modern methods used to divide nations.
Are the digital currencies going to be one of those methods? It might very well be if we the people of all the nations do not come together in part to create the physical world usage we want to see.
