Hey Rob! Yeah we did, but the steps forward were steps substantially forward, I remember a few months ago I used to have tons of messages about upvotes and now it's a total 180 degrees.
Now I get messages like: There are fellow steemians stuck in Reykjavik what can we do to help them, or what can we do to push the steem blockchain beyond any other..etc.
We have a core community involved that's for sure, and it's for everyone that we have to keep moving forward, even for the friends we haven't made yet.
I never had any doubt (totally being cool with failing miserably) but what I want is to push steem forward, and so does many people including you and me and the core community you mentioned.
Personally, I'm just glad to experience this and meet all of you, and as Tom said recently: To the moon baby :)
We'll do this. Everyone using their strengths we will do this.
Indeed we will. The effort that I see everyone putting in is what makes me more and more confident in the future success of Steem. I don't know about you, but I've been around crypto for a while and I haven't seen a community as engaged in the workings and future of the platform like what we have here out side of Bitcoin itself.
You guys (and gals) are great, I consider my self lucky to be a part of this with you all. :)
