really ? you can get tax deductions if you make a loss ?

?

the whole team-thing isn't really up my alley , and the tribal-ism is totally detrimental to the whole of planet Crypton (but its a mirror image of the A F K - world, right ...) I studied a bit of culture and stuff some years ago but i got my own view : subcultures are just like brands, they mainly sell fake id's so to speak to people who dont want to be the norm but in essence any sub-culture has the same behavioural patterns the norm does, it has dresscode, like wallstreet has dresscode (but you could in fact consider that a sub-culture too, although, since it's dominant it would be seen as 'the norm', while the norm is a lot closer to John Doe, daily labour, tv - couch and a beer or two in reality), it has its own speech, you can use this word , but not that one ... same here

if you use the words "blockchain", "crypto","disruptive" and "community" and maybe "organic" in one post enough times you get a good shot at applause lol, even if people have no clue what you're talking about, or even if a lot of talkes dont have a clue what a blockchain actually is ... it's just a ledger holding data that's incorruptible since
hmmm

well, each "block" of data can fit only exactly between two others, so if you have enough nodes it becomes incorruptible as you can't "re-stream" the whole dataset from scratch, so the blocks are linked in a singular way that can not be altered ... the original magic of satoshi and a few obscure cryptophiles and cypherpunks

but that's really all it is in essence lol - the disruption comes not from the fact that it's a glorified torrent, but from the fact that lots of people started THINKING because of it, and now you get families and businesses running on it, thriving on it, some making billions selling hot air (lets not say EOS or TRON or ETH or they might take it personal) or totally ruining themselves. You got original near to 0day cryptonnaires living in treehouses, eccentric people and a LOT who just use the magic words as a salespitch

steem is the first real innovation i consider an innovation since i got what BTC was actually and so far it still is, most co's drive on top of a main chain like eth but all they have is a derivative ( SMART ! another magic word) token which is like something absolutely silly if you think about it since it's a layer on top and it derives everything from its "parent" .. .but well

sales be sales

and tek be tek ... and me, i gotta mind my RC, lol ... i seem to be having a few less bad days omg, all the talk , i can barely follow myself, so

good thing you forgot to mention or maybe i wouldnt have replied hahah
