Couldn't have agreed more @whatsup, the main aim of cryptocurrencies is to remove from the equation the third parties that most of the time don't have our best interests in mind, Steem is among many things a self-publishing blockchain, without third parties, where you can share your knowledge, your art, your poems, you content with the world, and getting something out of it is a bonus, a good bonus!

Instead of a centralized company getting revenue from our content, our sharing, etc... we are the ones that get that revenue! We still have a long way to go, and we will have many issues along the way, not only in governance but also in terms of what type of content do we allow on the front ends, but we, as a community will surelly push past all those issues and live on...

Free, decentralized, content sharing to empower the world's population with knowledge! That's just one of the many things steem can and will be!
