RE: Comparing Steem To Facebook’s Blockchain Libra With Andrarchy
Yes being smart with your moves is the hard part, but this isn't about an ideological battle, we are simply pointing out that anyone who values blockchain and the motivations behind it will naturally oppose Libra as it goes against all of them. It won't compete with Steem because it's not about social media, and it will inevitably introduce blockchain to a massive fraction of the global population
But it is an ideological battle. Crypto is ideology with everything else coming in second. If we discussed this in a neutral forum you would probably agree with me, but this here is Steemit.
Our IRL views are secondary to the expectations of our Steem environment when we post here. You know this is true.
Look... Its harsh to say but people are either idiots or they are preoccupied with life. How many diapers they need to buy for their kid, what car insurance rate they will get on their car this year....
Crypto is about impoverment. Always has been. Other things are beyond secondary.
The mainstream doesnt care about hiding who they are. Hell i dont. My name is Damir Rogosic and i live in Split, Croatia in Matije Gupca Street.
Theres this illusion that this stuff matters. It doesnt. It can matter to you, it can matter to a criminal, it can matter to a guy avoiding taxes, it can matter to someone that wants to be an asshole online, it can matter to someone that is shy...
But it really doesnt matter to many people, to the mainstream... So why push the agenda of shittokens and shit privacy tokens that have close to 0 mainstream appeal????
Ride the wave. Dont be "Gdje Turci, tu i mali Mujo". (Its a croatian proverb)

No one is "pushing it" per se. We are comparing it to Facebook and anything could happen, but Facebook has been declining for a while and will continue to. I still think you're too hyperbolic about it, that's like saying trading stocks is an ideology. You're conflating just valuing or supporting something with it becoming a way of thought. I want all platforms that encourage free speech, promote transparency, and help users monetize their experience to thrive. Facebook's new blockchain won't do that or anything that decentralized blockchains represent. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. There is tons of discussion by many authorities to stop it or regulate it hard and I hope they just delay it and delay it while the world learns more and more about crypto.
