there's one central company confused by about everyone, including itself for the blockchain it runs on and 20 witnesses dictating the law .. it's a small senatorial dictatorship if you like , but the post is awesome, thanks, rated R for informative
if it's all that "belongs to everyone" i must be missing something b/c from day one i found it to be at the very least walled off, closed community trying to keep to itself where the top desperatly tries to NOT go out into the real world because there they would be very small fry and a lot of what i call 'votesuckers' scouring hi-powered accounts giving "always-positive" remarks on what they think it wants to hear ... one of the biggest flaws in politics, the brown nosers give the great illustrious leader the idea that he's always right, hoping for a promotion ... facts of life ...
combined with a LOT of people trying to post what they think others will like hoping for a vote BUT
with plenty of beauty in down-below where people still say what they want and 'a few good men and women' in the middle class and upper echelons
if you compare it to society at macro-level its more like a mirror, not something special but boy o boy does it have potential ... for the tek of the chain alone i'd stick around even at one dollarcent <3
but not to speak what someone else just simply wants to hear .. :)
