3rd EYE = A coin has head, tail, and a 3rd side to balance them. 3 is a magic number, it represents (1)positive, (2)negative, and (3)experience.
A = pyramid with capstone
B = wings flying like Bird, Bee, Brain, Bug, Bat, Balance, and Butterfly
C = third letter, 3rd Eye to see A and B
A coin can be self centered on it's 3rd side with balance, and can stay and even spin on the 3rd side by maintaining that balance. 99.99% of time the coin sits on either side, and 0.01% on the 3rd side, the 3rd eye.

Follow me @craig-grant, and have fun... Craig :)
Man, you really spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff. Great. It helps me a lot. Thanks.
I don't think about it, the information naturally comes to me while doing chores like cleaning the house, laundry, or mowing the lawn
Who got shot ? did you hear that ??? and then the emergency department shows up. lol
Seriously what were those kabooms? lol indeed.
Just caught up with the sirens "I'm dropping bombs" ahahahah
I agree it is going to take a year for things to sort of even out more and some people to rise up with more power and have more influence.
Thanks for the @steemsmart mention and looking forward to the interview.
At this point, I only use Facebook to communicate with people via messages and groups for very specific purposes. I'm with you there. :)
Thank you for the mention @craig-grant . We at @steemsmart are looking forward to the interview! Hope to have a great conversation on Monday!
It is interesting how you mentioned that Wang was up voting @yulianna as long as she was using the SLOW way to convert SBD to SP. I would not have considered that a factor. I did that my first week and was bummed out by how long it took, especially since I converted it when STEEM was less than $2 and it took a week and finally hit when STEEM was almost $4 so I didn't get nearly as much SP. I've used the market every time since then.
I'd be interested to know if that actually is a factor in that bot's up votes, or if maybe it was coincidence. Perhaps the list the bot follows was up dated.
Who knows? Definitely something to consider.
I'm still following you, and I do want money but, I don't want to treat it like a job so I'll personally likely stick with following people I like. If I ever end up deciding to emulate a bot, I'll just make one. I doubt I'll ever do that though. Too impersonal for me.
sending steem or steem dollars to an exchange is cashing out, regardless of why you send it, I think even if you convert it on the internal market is like showing you are a "pro", the 7 day conversion is good for the platform
Yes I do use the internal market. I actually haven't converted SBD on an external market yet. Yet I do understand what you are saying about the 7 day conversion.
Jeez, 20 minutes?!?!
Good stuff, man.
Your videos are always interesting! Thanks! I'm still trying to learn about how things work but I guess I'm more into just acting in what I perceive as an authentic way without too much directed effort on trying to improve the bottom line. Hopefully it will all work out for the best in time.
I like your comments on the cryptocoin markets, I've always thought there are few differences between all the different coins which are working technically well and it's been marketing and established perception of value that has driven pricing. I'm very interested to see where things are headed – the steem system is providing a lot more value than the typical block chain.
One thing I don't get is that sometimes I'll vote for somebody and the post reward will go up, where as other times I'll vote even moments before for someone and the award value for their post doesn't change at all. (Just now I voted for a post by onetree that resulted in no value added and then I voted for your post and it added some value)
there is a value called voting power that lowers the value of your vote over time, and restores itself over time
that's too bad craig-grant.. a lot of people that like your posts and your flow that you were following may be discouraged your only going to follow the users getting paid the most...
true
Nice post and discussion. Did you hear about the upcoming hardfork? Dan is intending to implement a dramatic change in the voting to allow whales to negate the votes of others. This will be extremely controversial but it will be worth discussing between now and Aug 30. https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/279
And I know your rule is you have to downvote me but this post is informative.
I read the details, seems to have mostly to do with how whales curate, how do you think the effects will impact someone like me, who does not get votes from whales, maybe I get a whale vote two times per week, and I post about 4 times per day... will the changes benefit me.. or wont make any difference?
I've been thinking about the effects and I think it's a risky move not necessarily for either of us but because it in some way could personalize voting. I have to think about it more though because right now all I have to go by is Dan's implementation details without much justification for it.
the 7 day wait to negate too much negative voting might make it not so bad, without that it would be war
why would he downvote you? :P here have an upvote
Something interesting to note also is that Steemit is growing extremely fast even by social media standards. In 6 months we could have over a million accounts, whether or not they are active is another matter. Assuming only 200,000 are truly active which is about 20% of the million, and assuming only 1% are truly talented developers, that is 2000 developers who could be heavily motivated to improve Steemit.
That is probably more active developers than Ethereum has right now if I had to estimate. And Ethereum has a billion dollar market cap from mainly developer interest. So I think Steemit has a very bright future if the community comes together to continuously improve on it over the next 6 months.
only active accounts with more $50 in steem power are relevant to stemit growth, that number is about 3000, and not growing
Bummer :* I think I deserve some power
So it's official. Steemit.com represents zero growth? Not a good sign for a social media platform.
Looking forward to the interview because @piedpiper introduced me to steem
I honestly didn't know the internal exchange was seen as a bad thing. I thought putting proceeds into steep power was the best way to show you were supporting the platform. I tried to get mine into steem power as fast as possible by turning SBD to steem and then to steem power. Recently I stopped doing anything until I can figure out what the right thing to do is. I believe in steemit and want it to grow.
don't take anything I say so seriously, you can do whatever you want, you don't see me jumping thru hoops, I do as i please and have fun doing it. no matter how hard you might try to be the cookie cutter perfect blogger to get more rewards.. it might not work.
I'm not looking for the rewards. I really am looking to give back to the community. I really believe in this project and want to help make it grow. I just don't quite know the best way to do that. But you really help to clear things up. I'm not a zealot or anything, but you provide an excellent perspective on all of this.
Craig, that part about you dropping bombs, drawing the sirens was hilarious haha. "Steem report!" :D
I was under the impression most pyramids are four sided (actually 5 if you count the side sitting on the ground). You can build a three sided (actually 4 if count side facing the ground) pyramid, but I believe the ones we know of as structures are actually four (5).
:)
A triangle is 3 sided though and the pyramid is constructed by triangles. A 4 sided pyramid is actually triangles with a rectangular base. So would this make the 3 sided pyramid more pure because it's base is also a triangle?
Life is a mystery... The places our brain/mind takes us can be a huge part of that.
worst comment ever, cause it has nothing to do with the video
Still listening... this is one of your longer videos. I am staring at your text as I listen... I GET what you were posting now. "pyramid with capstone" being 3 sides was what I was responding to. Yet now I see you were talking about the SHAPE of the letter A. I totally did not GET that until just now. Not sure if you cover this in your video or not. :)
yes, the letter A
Still watching your video it is longer than my post. I was responding to your text accompanying the video.
@wang knows we will get to your posts before he does so he doesn't upvote you xD
It's interesting @craig-grant. I noticed that there's a change in the weather on your island. I could see the wind and pressure system moving through. Sometimes reality and perception are the same thing. Hope sunny days are ahead for the "Crrrryptooo Currency Reeeeport.."
I'm in Florida
Can't wait for the interview, your ideas on this are developing a lot.
How do I make a bot? lol (My grandfather ran the local freemason lodge in Grand Rapids, MI. Being his kingdom but never personally taking their oath makes me part of the illuminati, right? All masons have pledged to do my tank father and his kin no harm, I've never pledged anything... So are the children of masons that aren't silenced by an oath where all the social power is? Do kids like me have this benefit and not even know it? We are the new order of the ages and if a Mason wants to get in my way, may God rip his anus and scatter it throughout the 4 corners of hell, =P
