I guess I see a world that's way less shitty than this one, and I think blockchain and Steem in particular have the power to bring it about.

I completely agree. I envision a much better world and I want to be a part of that change. I want my children to feel that their father did what he could to better it in the ways he was able to. Unfortunately, in a world built to keep you down... it's not always so easy. I struggle just to get by, which means there's not a lot of money to put up for much else. I have so many ideas, but am limited by my finances so much, it sucks. That doesn't deter me from trying though, hence me being here, trying to earn a little something off of my activities/words/ideas. It may take time for us, but I think that if we just continue to be conscious of things like this, for our kids' sake, we will prevail.

Congratulations btw. That's quite a while! I am just starting out, but I intend to stick around indefinitely.

I did have a question about steem-engine though, as it seems you partially run it.

Could you possibly enable a wallet feature that hides "0" balances? I keep getting tokens I don't care for and they keep showing up even after I've gotten rid of them. Obviously it's not a very big deal, more like a simple feature request. I can't be the only one who's been annoyed with all the tokens popping up and then still showing up in my wallet after I intended to rid myself of them... lol

Also, splinterlands? Incredible! Love what you've done there! The game is incredibly fun and requires a tactically strategic approach and I like that.
Only thing I would kinda like a bit more clear on that as well, would be things like how do we know what card is going to attack first? Is there a speed stat I'm missing somewhere? Maybe this is just me.. but it seems as though there's no way to tell what monsters are faster than others and I feel that that is a big part of strategy. I think that if you can put as much information as possible as to what they do on there, that would help a ton in formulating strategies! You seem to have just about every detail thought from what I can tell. I just didn't see anything about their speed was all.
