Hi @littlescribe! Thank you for your great article and I hope you're doing good. My guess is the post you're talking about is the one link I posted below. 

I have one question that  might seem totally unrelated at first but it totally is. Have you ever wonder about who create or more precisely who's issuing money or even more precisely to whom it profit? It's a pretty interesting topic to say the least. 

Here's Maurice Allais the 1988 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics has to say about this topic. 

> All money creation must be the prerogative of the state and the state alone: Any money creation other than that of the basic state-created currency should be prohibited in a way that eliminates the so-called 'rights' that have arisen around private bank creation of money.

> In essence, the ex nihilo money creation practiced by the private banks is similar -- I do not hesitate to say this because it is important that people understand what is at stake here -- to the manufacture of currency by counterfeiters, who are justly punished by law. In practice both lead to the same result. The only difference is that those who benefit are not the same.

It's weird right? It seems like it doesn't make much sense. Money can't be create out of thin air. Well that's the idea I help for a long time. I couldn't wrap my head around the concept at first. 

The process by which money is created is so simple that the mind is repelled.' John Kenneth Galbraith (economist and Bill Clinton's mentor)

> The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits. - Unknown

I hope I might have pique your curiosity and it might leave you wanting to investigate more about the world we live in. I'm planning on addressing this fundamental subject more thoroughly in upcoming chapters of my non-fiction book: "The Ultimate Steem Book" which can be found on my Steem blog.

Now, all that being said, Steem is the technology that is giving me the greatest hope for a brighter future and this is a big part of what my book is all about. 

I only want to bring positive influence. I might not be the most skillful at this but that's what I'm trying.
