Ha ha, glad you're getting a chance to vent! I think it's healthy to air our views. Even if you or I don't convince one another of everything, others may learn from our exchange. To respond to your question,

Speak your mind freely Workin! I would never censor an alternative view - decentralisation is an important part of building strength and trust! I don't want to fall into the trap of getting lost in semantics,

"Replied to this on Trybe, but apparently forgot to on TIMM." - I only ever reply on one or the other, my internet is slow just replying on one as it is! Wow Workin, what a reply, thanks! I have

I disagree strongly on the need for fiat, I also disagree with government interference in economics. The state has entangled itself in all things money, to the degree that it is commonly believed that

Thanks krischik. I didn't realise that was a similar service.

Since neither steem-engine nor palnet support SteemConnect, how do we know that they are genuine sites? I'm sure you understand that I'm not willing to punch my STEEM keys into a site that may be a phishing

Don't let the crypto community tell you that Gold is a bad investment. No, it can't keep up with Bitcoin, but it's also infinitely less likely to crash. It's not the either/or situation that Peter Schiff
