It's hard to find people on the same wavelength or with the same values. Then it's harder to find people who have the time or interest to leave the comfort of their Steem persona and let their guard down outside of it.

Maybe people want their privacy too much, or don't have much to share outside of Steem, but if Steem disappeared, the reality is that 99% of us would be out of touch and lose contact.

People can't meet much with geography and oceans in the way, but people sure can open up to get to know each other personally. Mechanical posts/comments just don't do it for me.

The speech is one of the greatest of all times. We have the power!
