I joined way back when in July last year (actually after seeing one of your blogs and getting hooked by your infectious enthusiasm for the platform). Since then, we've all been through a crazy thrill ride of ups and downs along the way all in this relatively brief period of Steemit's existence.

So, in terms of Steempower and this post, you covered that history as well as the the present day situation in meticulous detail and even gave your thoughts as to the reasons why they occured at all. Very insightful and useful info especially for people just joining now. Also, given the influx of new users at this time, your timing couldn't be better.

Excellent job yet again. Very impressed, Craig.

Keep doing what you do best and Steem On, my bro!!! :)

(p.s. nice analogy comparing trading to selling crack on a street corner, laughed a lot at that!)
