RE: Pennsif’s Progress – Can Steem save the world?
I couldn't agree more...
Something still absent, however, are universally available, reliable, low-cost gateways between STEEM and local fiat currencies...
Sadly, this is where most global states step in and over regulate, making this difficult. I am however hopeful that the initiatives that @stan writes about often will help ease that problem. Especially things like dWeb and dPay and all the associated constellation of apps and services that are now being launched.
It would be great if you could do a show featuring the people behind those efforts. :D
😄😇😄
Yes, agree. Sorting an easy fiat/steem exchange would be so useful...
If you have a minute I would be interested to read more about dWeb and dPay - maybe you could DM me some links. Thank you.
OK Chris, I'm back from my errands and have some of that information you asked for. I wanted to do it justice.
As you may by now know, I am very libertarian in my thinking, and am a voluntaryist in what I do. I have observed guv'ments in collusion with bankers making it harder and harder for "the common man" to live privately without having his financial affairs under a microscope. I consider this to be oppression and tyranny of the worst kind.
And so, eight or ten months ago, I was very excited to hear of a project called Arise Bank. If you google "arise bank" and/or arisebank, you can read more than you may want to know, much of it propaganda promulgated by the government/banking cartel that felt threatened. The SEC stepped in and shut the whole thing down.
Well, within the last couple of months, I was delighted to discover that the principals of Arise are back with a slick, new, better, more far-reaching set of solutions to the freedom problem and they are beginning to implement them and publish about them.
These include new, completely distributed/non-centralized internet protocols to replace http:// and the existing, centrally controlled DNS (Domain Name System) that not only cost us beaucoup $$$, but also allow bad actors (i.e. guv'mnts) to arbitrarily shut down internet websites.
With that introduction, here are some of the more important links for you to inspect:
https://steemit.com/@distributedweb

If you aren't following what @stan is doing (Stan is @dan's dad) you should be. He is not behind the dWeb stuff, but is a strong supporter.
I find myself very hopeful that Jared Rice Sr. (founder of the dWeb stuff) and his crew will be able to provide us mere mortals with many of the intellectual and financial tools that we need to retain some semblance of liberty in the face of the beast that is taking over the globe.
I'd be happy to discuss this all with you if it would help your understanding or if you have any questions. I'm actually still watching and waiting as this all unfolds, but I find it very hopeful. ;)
Thank you for all this. It does look very interesting. Will do some reading to catch up.
Grand! And, you're welcome... ;)
I will do that a little bit later today, Thanks for asking! :D
