Even if I am sometimes sceptical, sometimes doubting, sometimes criticizing, and even if @dan and @ned have already fled the battlefield ...
... STEEM(it) was (since I joined in September 2016), still is, and will be in future, an important part of my life.
Despite of all the (many) problems, STEEM offers the unique combination of a fast, technologically advanced blockchain and a community full of creative, intelligent and open minded people.
Lets make the best of it! :)
I owe STEEM many pleasant hours, fun, fruitful discussions and knew knowledge.
Happy (STEEM distribution) birthday! :)

By the way (as I am just writing here) I really wonder why steemit.com isn't already registered at Brave as a BAT recipient (like for example CoinMarketCap), which would create quite some additonal earnings?
'He was hanging around as a marketing guy when we floated steem past him.', and here we are some years later, wondering who bought him as a marketing guy?
#newsteem#zombiesteemIf getting intentionally kneecapped didn't kill us the first time, likely we will survive hf21's second attempt on our user base.
I am not sure what the consequences of HF 21 will be (in my eyes some of the changes seem to be reasonable, some not, I wrote more about and discussed it in the past), but now as it seems the big majority is in favour of the change, it should be done as fast as possible, so that we all just will see what happens.
And of course, I really hope the optimists will be right, even if that means that some of my predictions were wrong ...
Yep, at this point, it's better than nothing.
@ned didn't flee. The community made him leave, because they were afraid about the price, which has not improved.
@ned didn't flee. The community made him ... flee. :)
And by the way, the gazelle also didn't flee. The cheetah just made it ... leave. :-)
No, nobody (at least not the community) could force him to leave. It was his own decision. And already long time before that he was rather inactive on the platform. At SteemFest 3 he didn't mingle a lot with the people. My impression is that he just didn't identify much with the community and the 'normal' people (or maybe he is just rather introverted).
Bad metaphor with the gazell. He still likes STEEM, and meets with Eli and the board once or twice a week (this info comes from Eli Powell herself).
So he left because he thought it was the best way for STEEM as a whole to get back on its feet, not because he wanted to. (This is just a guess, but I think it’s a good one)

Sorry, nobody would mind, if at least he kept posting, communicating, maintaining his blog.
But, yes, he fled ... and yes he withdrew nearly all his STEEM from the platform.
No, I have nothing against him personally. Actually, I am thankful that he co-created STEEM. And I would like to see him come back and post/comment again.
