It is an amazing time to be alive. I feel like a broken record, but this is a big deal. We have the tools to give each and every one of us the means of production and access to the market through open source and decentralized tech. That can't be overstated, imo.
We are really lucky just to have all the mainstream platforms like YouTube and the others you mentioned, but building on Hive means you actually own your account. Obviously, that's not true on the other platforms.
I'm glad to see you here. I look forward to seeing what you get up to.
It is an absolutely amazing time to be alive! And I've been dedicating a good chunk of my time lately to hanging out (online) with folks like @thedessertlinux of @dashpay, Vlad Costea and the folks at 84 Million Podcast (about Litecoin). These guys are really knowledgeable and don't hesitate to share knowledge on privacy tools like Dash's PrivateSend and Litecoins MWeb. I still use legacy platforms for the reach, but I'm committed to #freedomtools like HIVE and the ones mentioned above.
Glad to hear, yes it's really the best time!
