RE: Why Should You Consider Putting Your Extra Time, Effort, and Resources Into Being Part of The Collaborative Commons?
Terrific post. It's very exciting to be part of this in its earliest stages. We've really been plowing ahead at the Fiction Workshop on Discord because that's our jam and it's been amazing. I've never been involved in a writing group more effective than the one that has sprung up here through Steemit.
"It remains that Steem is one of the most accessible Collaborative Commons around, since no specialised equipment or skill is required. Only a willingness to learn and do things."
YES! I wanted to get into mining when 10,000 BTC bought a couple of pizzas, but I had zero tech capabilities. I simply don't speak the language. By the time I learned enough to mine, it was a huge thing requiring massive amounts of computing power that I don't have the space or time to manage.
Steemit is the absolute perfect solution for people like me.
Your situation sounds very familiar to mine. I learned about crypto-currencies when BTC skyrocketed and I was so sad I didnt have the technological know how or learned about it earlier in its infancy. Glad to have found steemit and I can tell only after being around for less than 2 days that great, innovative, amazing things are happening around here.
They really are! I love you name BTW 😊
Thanks its been a nickname of mine for years. :)
Upvote for visibility (Anyone up for fiction writing?)
Hey, thanks! We're always looking to grow!
I'm up for fiction writing/drawing. that means graphic novel. but I'm just trying to think about it.
(and another thing, perhaps off topic: I don't see enough discussion about the role and the power of intermediary subjects in decentralized systems. I mean, f.i. exchange websites today, but also market operators...)
