RE: Six Years Fly When You're (Mostly) Having Fun and Building a Blockchain

Dear Beautiful Crim, always helpful, knowledgeable and busy.

What a few years it has been, and I too fell madly in love (obsession) with crypto and with our legacy platform and creating something new.

Regarding post length and quality. It's a funny thing we have created here, stuck on some odd quality standards which really aren't part of most people's social media habits, which eventually leaves many of us with ideas, thoughts or stories to share, but not enough time to really sort it out into a lovely post. Which is why I rarely post a full post anymore, only when I actually have something to say.

I've always appreciated what you do for the blockchain and you as a person. It's good to hear from you. When you revive your shows, I'll make it to one!

welp, you entered the splash zone, so now you get some love heaped back on you!

I'm always the first to admit that I both value and prefer to write long form content, but that I also don't at all hold others to it. In my particular little world, the standards that I hold for myself are different from others, and often not to my benefit 😂

One of the things that has been most wonderful about you being here just as long and in such a similar role as a community member who also takes on a lot of the weird interpersonal and relationship guiding stuff, open conversations, and "advisor" to community members and projects of all shapes and sizes is that you've carved and held such an impactful space to do it.

Whether or not you take the breaks you deserve, and despite the love and loss I know you're also wrapped in, and whether or not you always have a thing to say, when you say it... YOU SAY IT.

I don't think there's a person on this chain who doesn't have admiration for the fact that you contain a magical ability to be a critic and a supporter all at once. You are able to lift yourself over some of the common fears that come with social media in general, and with social wallets in particular, and that you never let the details of either change how you communicate with people and their projects. That is why you are loved (and maybe a few haters out there but it's cool I'll beat them up) and that is why you are very valued. It is why no matter how long you take away, that when you come back people are stoked to see you and people who don't know you yet realize quickly that you're someone they want to see and hear more from.

It's so easy to have a fake love fest on social media, but it is JUST as easy to express some real love here too when we would have never met in real life. You are a treasure, and every little sparkle is locked here in the blockchain, along with your crown, queen 🖤👑
