Hi there steemians! My real name is Ramón and I come from México (también conocido como el país de las mil tranzas) and I joined 
@steemit in an effort to get away from conventional and surveillance leaned social media sites like Facebook and the lot of them, not only because of their centralized, profit seeking and unethical business model (if that can be real!!) but also because I think that the blockchain is really a revolutionary way of using the internet and should be more encouraged and spread out there now that people are so obsessed and numbed by centralized internet models that are breaking apart previous communication technologies but that are making it potentially harder and harder to access information without intermediaries and are really distancing people in the exact same way they bring them together in their virtual bubbles. I am also very interested in the crypto world as I see as an opportunity to reduce central governments, corporations and every other big capitalist institution´s ability to influence and shape modern life. Here in Mexico people are still very much into the conventional face of the internet and, as an underdeveloped country, the web has not penetrated the country as much as in other latitudes in the globe but it is in the process of ruining the credibility and profitability of television, radio and the written press, which are terrible and government leaning here in the country, with its very few and honourable exceptions. Mexico is on the brink of a massive change towards an internet dominated communication network and although social media has been so far liberating for us, it is consistently becoming so huge and powerful that sites and platforms like this need to be more widespread so we can question the matter of centralization and how to make the internet a real game changer in the world today.
Cheers to everyone out there!
Viva México, cabrones!!
