In this 48min video i explore the idea of utilising web3 as a means of personal freedom. I see the web3 space as being the best opportunity for the free peoples to create a new system away from all centralised state interference. I also talk about the current uses of this decentralised realm and how we can implement it in our lives.
I also speak about peerhub and peertube, which has got to be one of the best freedom projects, made by da people for da people.
This video is one of my most important vids to date, so much so that i even considered not uploading it onto the web. I titled called "Ace In The Hole" for a reason.
If you managed to go through the entire video and can understand this "Ace In The Hole", then please share it around to our freedom community. This is knowledge that all must know; this is action that all should encourage.
Hey Lane
how's it goin down?
thanks for stopping by and watching the long video. I do take caution when making long length vids and i tried to cut this one down as short as possible, but the info was jus too heavy to hold back.
So how has your journey into web3 been? How have you used it to construct your infrastructure of freedom?
Great Video. Blurt.media and Blurt.blog are the best. I have been here blogging every day since 2020. Stacking lots of Blurt Crypto from my Photography, Film, Artwork, music. Blurt is the Best.
I was on Steemit / Hive since 2017 …. Steemit was awesome but Hive was destroyed by 2 or 3 angry whale Downvoters …. Not sure why they wanted to ruin Hive ???? . But luckily we have Blurt now.
Yes it's given us a really really great opportunity.
Hive still serves a function, with it's many projects, avenues to earn and the reach that the blockchain has. I am happy that Hive is a bastion of light giving those in the poorer countries their first opportunity to live like a normal person and not having to struggle for bread.
What attracted me to Hive was the promise of community. The earnings are secondary to me. When I saw LeoFinance working on bridging the fiat commercial system with the blockchain, i thought it was game over. I used to follow a dude called Kenny on hive, he was real real popular. Kenny somehting....i think he speaks at Anarcopulco (did i spell it right?). He quit Hive like 3 years back cuz of the downvoting prob. Now more corruption's being revealed from within the community and it saddens i.
Blurt has an advantage - it has a relatively unsaturated space. Though Blurt's been around as long as Hive (after the steemit fork), Blurt's not been corrupted as Hive has; there isn't a downvote capability on blurt.blog (side note...why's there a downvote button on blurt.media?). People are really trying to build something here. Also blurt.blog, because of being connected with blurt.media, has the support of peertube and that is truly amazing.
There is only a like / heart button on Blurt.Media
wow @brave-smoke HUGE thank you for the shoutout at 35:38 man!
i see you also found our peerhub.app and agori.host sites, much love! 💪💪💪
hell yeah, people need to know!
In our crypto journey we have reached the point where banks are not needed, stock exchanges are not needed, the Federal Reserve is not needed. Everything can be replaced with crypto. The old financial system is collapsing. We want it to be replaced with decentralized crypto, those in power want to stay with it and replace the old system with a centralized crypto system. Our chances are slim. The optimal solution would be to allow both systems to operate simultaneously. People should have a choice. There is a tiny chance that this will happen. The creation of the Federal Crypto Reserve and Trump's investments in DeFi are minor indications of this.
MORE POWAH TO DA PEEOPLE!!!
Though our chances may be slim and though the crypto space may not truly flourish until a few more years, including web3 reaching half-way to it's potential, i am happy that we have now made it to 2025.
For a while now we've known this year to be a milestone marker. From here on out web3 will see progress in leaps and bounds. At least we have seen the change come and some have taken the opportunity to jump on. I will make a vid on this prob this weekend.
What are your thoughtts on Trump's DeFi plays?
I haven't delved into it. My guess is that as a rich guy he will lend to others and make money from it. Just one thing makes me wonder, if as president he is going to introduce CBDC as many people say, why is he investing in DEFI? One is the opposite of the other
