Do you think @steemit or a Steem-based Dapp would be able to impliment the Data Sovereignity that you are referring to?

Quite easily. Steem is the way it is because Steemit Inc and others have a philosophical perspective that Steem should be application specific and transparent. We don't all agree with that perspective but I can at least understand it.

Steem Dapp if it is blockchain independent could in theory do it, or perhaps there could be a Steem side chain for these purposes. Steem might also benefit from some layering similar to Plasma so it can scale via off chain transactions.

Thanks @dana-edwards that makes me happy since I am personally invested in Steem and I am investing a little bit extra every month (at these low prices).

I remember @ned mentioning that they'd be able to impliment any measures that other blockchains come up with, and I think that is what happened with RC's.

Do you do any other work for the Steem blockchain aside from content creation?

I am hoping that @ned will take up @aggroed's advice and get the community involved with some of blockchain development.

I am not a Steem developer in any official sense of the word. Personally I don't think Steem needs more code but it needs better marketing and UX.

That might be a great point!

In fact UBI is the death of human rights IMHO. When we receive necessary support from overlords, we become their property in their eyes, and since they wield the power, those are the eyes that matter.

I work for a living, and will continue to do so in my present field indefinitely, no matter what AI can, cannot, or does do. This is the only manner I can see maintaining my sovereignty, rather than becoming some form of property.

Thanks!

If AI has to buy bits of us (of our digital selves) then it is like a basic income but it's really just you setting a price to your intellectual property which currently is being sold by companies without giving you any kitchen money.
