      "body": "You weren’t kidding about the formatting! Here’s my attempt at some responses:\n1) Yes, those behavioural challenges will continue to remain the barriers to adoption for a while to come. While aesthetics response above is a theoretical possibility, such an event would occur when BTC is the leading medium for financial value exchange, replacing whatever local fiat exists at the moment. That for the moment looks unlikely. The attractiveness and growing interest in cryptos as a currency for the moment in my opinion have less to do with achieving a stable mode of financial exchange and more to do with the possibility of exponential returns from a financial investment, fuel for the blockchain’s functioning itself through consensus or anonymised fund transfers.  \nFiat currencies initially garnered stable valuations from “pegging” their value against a physical asset like gold or the value of other stable currencies (like the Dirham against the Dollar or the Indian Rupee against a basket of currencies). Look up “USDT” as an example in attempts to get a stable peg for cryptos that is tradeable. Until that happens, only a fringe to moderate section of society will use cryptos to buy their groceries. After all you don’t want to be that guy who paid for his pizza with BTC when it was sub 100 bucks a coin.\n2) By this do you mean authentication of identity of the participants on the block chain? If yes that’s achieved through the combination of your private & public keys that are immutable and hash encrypted for every transaction. Hence the requirement for the resource intensive “mining” exercise in POW to validate that the transaction is authentic, where the cryptographic puzzle to be solved is the hashing protocol itself. \n3) I think part of this question on the general feasibility of crypto as a regular use currency has been answered in part 1. Furthermore, the “fantastic benefits to using BTC to protect your wealth, shield yourself from a tyrannical gov't, cheaply send money to your foreign family members, gain access to a finance system you otherwise wouldn't have” apply equally to developed countries as well and a large volume of transactions serve those purposes (minus the tyrannical part). When it comes to ease of use, there are already a few physical devices or cards that can be used just as easily as a regular atm card in theory and they are working on gaining adoption. As for the transaction fees, we don’t notice them because merchants have already absorbed that as part of their fees, but a decentralised financial system also does away with the need for middle men like visa or amex and when it becomes main stream, you can start by demanding discounts for paying with crypto or even some day bring down prices altogether. \n4) My understanding is that the controllership of the dApp is by majority stake in consensus, whether it’s the majority ownership of tokens or majority ownership of mining capacity. So if a dApp has become mainstream, how much of it is controlled by a few individuals or a company depends on how many tokens they control through pre-mining or other built in mechanics. This changes from dApp to dApp. Theoretically BTC is classified as a dApp as well with ownership controlled by mining power. Not much of this applies though if its an ICO and the company is yet to really show a working version of the tech.\n5) My understanding is that you can’t change historical transactions on a blockchain once its committed, only affect the mechanics of future transactions. Also Golem is essentially computing infrastructure. So for someone to employ the computing resources of Golem to beat the network they would have to fund Golem enough to purchase resources necessary to beat the mining capabilities of the 51% majority on BTC. A) that is super expensive and B) when that happens if everyone just forks to a new chain it makes the value of coins on the old chain invalid hence making it a pointless exercise.  Also this probably assumes a different nature if the chain transfers to POS as computing power alone wont help fork or control the network anymore. The participants on golem would also have to control a majority of tokens.\n6) My argument is no. Cuz the wallets don’t contain physical assets, only keys referencing transactions on a public blockchain. That’s akin to saying if you open your online banking account on your work computer do they own the contents of your account. \n7) 2 part question; \nNot sure how recent this information is but block rewards halve every 4 years on btc. Some estimates say the last coin wont be mined till 2140.\n• What happens when all the BTC are mined and the miners no longer have the strong financial incentive to mine? Who secures and verifies the network? \nSome of this is similar to how the dollar was pegged to gold to begin with to give it its value. Then we started to create more complex financial instruments that don’t have a physical asset tag anymore. Also, miners will still be paid transaction fees which is incentive for securing the network, but there are some counter theories to this as well.\n8) This depends on how much of the tokens are premined, do they want to make a fast buck or build a business etc. Hence why you need to do your due diligence on the developer team as much as you would put into a traditional IPO.\n9) Which is why it’s not recommended to use wallets that aren’t open source/ code exposed and visible for audit by the market. You wouldn’t buy a regular physical wallet that you aren’t allowed to inspect would you?\n10) The opposite, more people trade, to a point where the proportional control of a coin/ token by a whale is marginal compared to the total traded volume. It’s the same as regular fiat currency economics. Until then any small market is open to easy manipulation. Heck even large international markets are open to manipulation by corporations and governments so it’s not very different.",

      "body": "This is my first post on Steem, so hopefully I've got the mechanics right. Thought I'd start with a topic that's very close to my heart. \n\nI used to be a happy go lucky kinda guy, the type who was everyone's friend and always had a funny story to tell. Then about 6 -7 years ago, shortly after I'd turned 25 things started to spiral downhill in my life. Initially it didn't matter, I wasn't too fussed about a \"few\" bad events, but what I didn't realize back then is that it would eventually change me as as person.  A year ago, I was formally diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and social anxiety. Strangely though when I was told about it, I wasn't particularly sad or even surprised, it just gave an identity to something that had become part of who I was as an individual. \n\nComing from a conservative Asian family, growing up in the Middle East, mental health was taboo territory. You don't really talk about it and no one really understands it. My attempts to talk about it would just be met with surprise or rejection. The most common response I was told was to just \"get over it, stop overthinking your life and making it such a big deal\". Doesn't quite work that way though, does it. \n\nOver the last 7 years of this journey however, I didn't take it lying down. I was always seeking ways to uplift myself. Hence this write up and the others to follow. I wrote the section below a couple of months before my 30th birthday. What I didn't realize at the time was that my biggest train wreck of a life event was just around a corner. When it did hit however, rather thank sink in defeat I came out swinging putting forth my strongest foot yet. I believe I held strong because somewhere the techniques I have noted below had started to work. And with this write up, and a few more to follow, I'd like to share with all of you the things I tried to hold my head high, those that worked and those that maybe didn't. Everyone knows someone who seems to be running through a rough patch. If you found this write up useful, share it forward to them and hopefully when they get on top of the fight someday, they can add their own lessons here. And now, onward to my original attempt to pen it down:\n\n**August - 2014:**\n\"I live a fairly normal, secure kinda life. Normal meaning I’ve got a great family, roof over my head, food in my belly and no serious financial worries. But for quite some time now I had been really really sad. For reasons I can’t really pin point I noticed I’ve been waking up feeling what I would call depression and a significant lack of purpose to my day. It took me a while to figure out that my so called reasons like not having the right job, not feeling productive, not this, not that, all of that weren't really a cause but just manifestations of a deeper reason that was making me sad. I know a lot of you out there are living those feelings I went through with every day.\nBut that was yesterday for me. Today I am happier than, more content than and more physically fitter than I have ever felt or been before. And this is how I got here:\n1. *Watch this video.* A huge part of the exercise is to mentally recondition yourself to re-evaluate your perspective on life and your evaluation of things. This is a good place to start. https://goo.gl/noxDCM\n2. *Look inward.* Let the benchmark for your success or happiness be yourself, not others. Put everyone you know together and collectively there will always be stuff you haven’t done or things you don’t have that someone else does. There is no end to that list and you will probably die trying to chase that list without realizing you are already there.\n3. *Stay off Facebook*, and social media in general. As rhetorical as it might sound, although social media sites often collate great information, no one comes on Facebook to post/ share the s*** they are going through. People only share/ project their happier moments. You look at it and you go, “wow look at his car”, “wow how does he travel so much”, “Woah! Look they are so rich” “why does only my life suck so much”, and you fail to see that everyone’s life is a fine balance of happy and sad moments. The guy driving the fast car struggled to save enough to buy it and the one who’s travelling to insanely awesome locations probably drags him/herself through a dead beat job. A.K.A unlike what you probably tend to believe after an hour with Facebook, your life probably doesn’t suck and you might even be better off than you realized.\n4. *Read the news, but as a skeptic.* Know that the news like everything else is a commercial entity and they print what sells. Bad stuff sells, good stuff not so much. But despite what the news tells you, the world today is better off than it has been in a long, long time. Don’t believe me? Ask Bill Gates: http://goo.gl/NDVlTu\n5. *Pick a hobby.* Spend time with family. And don’t cheat on your time with those two. Commit yourself because long after everything else is long gone and has moved on those are all that will still remain as reminders to who you are.\n6. If you are in a tough spot *remind yourself constantly that nothing in this world is constant*. What goes up must come down and everything is temporary. Unfortunately this applies to everything that is great in your life as well, so learn not to cling too hard and to let go.\n7. *Eat clean, work out.* You can’t drive fast if your car’s broke. Feeling good about being in top shape has gone a long way to making me a happier person. On a lighter note, I might be feeling like crap but I look damn good (or think I do at least) feeling it.\nAnd if you do occasionally let up and go for that Big Mac and Cheese or skip a day’s work out, *don’t beat yourself up* over it. Life isn’t a binary sequence of Yes and No’s and your health isn’t decided by one meal but rather your habits over time.\n\n**Be Happy. Stay Happy.**\"\n\n![1-20H3Z2WuOGBYvC7XPvRU6Q.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXqbbua15UHRo66o9tSh4LnMxfn7zkKyhLZTtPEXbpz2X/1-20H3Z2WuOGBYvC7XPvRU6Q.jpeg)",
