They thought maybe TOP BOSS was not as fortunate regarding traffic delays, so they purchased 2 tickets for 34 Steem PayGO [Spg] each, and headed to the observation deck. It takes just 47 seconds by unique high speed elevator to get to the 102nd floor and @apostle-thomas felt his ears pop as they arrived. Therefore, he decided to go by the One Cafe which just opened for business, one of 3 restaurants (One Cafe, One Mix, and One Dining) in the iconic skyscraper.
The observatory business hours on weekdays are from 0900 am to 2100 pm. The views are amazing! And for a few moments @apostle-thomas and @general-susu took in the awesome sights with Steemian Dreamin'.
At 1,254 feet, on the 102nd floor is where the One World Observatory is located in the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemishpere. The awesome views of New York City and New Jersey was filmed August 2015 and published on YouTube by So Cal 360 on 4/16/2016…
The Freedom Tower stands 1,776 feet, according to the year in which the Declaration of Independence was signed on the fourth of July. Is there any coincidence, the New York City based Steemit Inc was established 7/4/2016? It has been an incredible ride for the corporate social media tech toddler, but is it over from its infancy?
Furthermore, the Freedom Tower is 104 stories tall to rank as the fifth-tallest skyscraper in the world. The very tip of the antenna is 1,792 feet, and is often times struck by lightning during a passing storm.
In the 242nd year of the United States of America, it stands on Latitude: 40.71324 / Longitude: -74.0132 - in place of the twin towers that were destroyed on 9/11/2001 in the infamous terrorist attack on the world's only Super Power! The twain that were and now no more, is One World Trade Center @ 285 Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan of New York City.
On Wednesday, 7/2/2014 one of a series of Lightning Strikes over NYC hits the Freedom Tower… It was captured and filmed by Yellow Red Studio and published on YouTube -
On Monday, 11/3/2014 - a new building opened featuring office spaces, an observatory deck, restaurants, and a memorial to honor the destruction that occurred on 9/11/2001, to change the course of American and world history forever!
On Wednesday, 3/16/2016 – just after 1800 pm – Jacob Riglin, a talented photographer from London England filmed the Freedom Tower’s spire tip being struck by lightning from the 40th floor of a Midtown building - it was published on YouTube by Story Trender…
Then pressing questions overwhelmed the thoughts of @apostle-thomas from the FAQ's on the Steemit platform as he took sips of herbal tea...
@apostle-thomas turned to @general-susu and asked him, So what do you think happened between Ned Scott and Dan Larimer?
@general-susu was startled by the sudden inquiry by @apostle-thomas...
@apostle-thomas continued saying, They were partners, Right?
@general-susu said, Partners for only about 1 year!... that is an interesting point of observation! One was a tech genius, and the other has a background in finance.

@misterdelegation
@apostle-thomas continued to gaze out of the window from the observatory thinking to himself and wondering what needs to be done to move forward...
Is it crystal clear what Steemit Inc - the social media platform on the Steem blockchain is versus the Steem blockchain which powers all applications and the Steem reward payout system? >
What is the real cryptocurrency of the Steem blockchain? and what is the difference between Steem (S), Steem Dollars or Steem Blockchain Dollars (SBD) and Steem Power (SP)?
Steem (STEEM)
Steem is the fundamental unit of account on the Steem blockchain. All other tokens derive their value from the value of STEEM. STEEM is a liquid currency, and therefore can be bought or sold on exchanges, as well as transferred to other users as a form of payment.
Steem Power (SP)
Start up companies require long-term capital commitment. Those who invest their money in a startup expect to wait years before they can sell their shares and realize their profits. Without long-term commitment, a startup seeking to raise additional capital through the sale of additional shares would be competing with existing shareholders looking to exit. Savvy investors want their capital contributions to grow the company, but growth cannot happen if the new capital is given away to those looking to exit.
There is significant value to having long-term commitment because it enables communities to make long-term plans. Long term commitment of stakeholders also causes them to vote for long-term growth rather than short-term pumps.
In the cryptocurrency space, speculators jump from cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency based mostly on which one is expected to have short-term growth. Steem wants to build a community that is mostly owned and entirely controlled by those with a long-term perspective.
Users are able to commit their STEEM to a thirteen week vesting schedule, providing them with additional benefits within the platform. STEEM that has been committed to a thirteen week vesting schedule is called Steem Power (SP). SP balances are non-transferrable and non-divisible except via the automatically recurring conversion requests. This means that SP cannot be easily traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. When users vote on content, their influence over the distribution of the rewards pool is directly proportional to the amount of SP that they have. Users with more SP have more influence on the distribution of rewards. This means that SP is an access token that grants its holders exclusive powers within the Steem platform.
SP holders are also paid interest on the balance of SP that remains vested. 15% of the yearly inflation is paid to SP holders as interest. The amount of the interest that they receive is directly proportional to the amount of SP they hold relative to the total amount of vested SP across all users.
Transferring from STEEM to SP is referred to as “powering up”, while transferring from SP to STEEM is referred to as “powering down.” SP that is powered down is returned to the user over a period of thirteen weeks, via 13 equal weekly payments, starting one week after the power down is initiated.
Steem Dollars (SBD)
Stability is an important feature of successful global economies. Without stability, individuals across the world could not have low cognitive costs while engaging in commerce and savings. Because stability is an important feature of successful economies, Steem Dollars were designed as an attempt to bring stability to the world of cryptocurrency and to the individuals who use the Steem network.
Steem Dollars are created by a mechanism similar to convertible notes, which are often used to fund startups. In the startup world, convertible notes are short-term debt instruments that can be converted to ownership at a rate determined in the future, typically during a future funding round. A blockchain based token can be viewed as ownership in the community whereas a convertible note can be viewed as a debt denominated in any other commodity or currency. The terms of the convertible note allow the holder to convert to the backing token with a minimum notice at the fair market price of the token. Creating token-convertible-dollars enables blockchains to grow their network effect while maximizing the return for token holders.
Steem Dollars are referred to with the symbol SBD, an acronym for Steem Blockchain Dollars. Creating SBD requires a combination of a reliable price feed, and rules to prevent abuse. Providing a reliable price feed involves three factors: minimizing the impact of an incorrect feed, maximizing the cost of producing an incorrect feed, and minimizing the importance of timing.
What is Resteeming?
This is like reblogging or sharing posts on other platforms. Once you resteem a post it will appear in your feed and in your followers' feeds as if you had posted it yourself. Use it conservatively and with caution. It is great to want to share content you like and appreciate with people you follow, but you don't want to overwhelm your followers either.
What really happened with the Shutdown of Streemian.com?
Due to lack of time and resources, as well as a growing dissatisfactory about the reliability and availability of the services among customers, we are taking down Streemian, indefinitely. The login will be kept available, as well as the Lock/Unlock App, so people can safely remove authorization to post on their behalf from their account. Last but not least, we would like to thank everyone for the support and assistance we've reached throughout the last 2 years. It was a pleasant ride and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Kind regards -- ChainSquad GmbH Management
@general-susu asked @apostle-thomas as he was sipping his tea gazing into the open air, unobstructed views, and thinking about how to get everything integrated into an efficient high performance Steem account -- Did you get a chance to see the weekly stat report? ...It looks pretty bad!
@apostle-thomas said, No! I was too busy trying to find you on the blockchain so we can make the meeting... What do you think?

@general-susu said, It looks pretty bad! But, that's only my opinion... TOP BOSS probably has another thought totally different... He calls it a gansta' mentality! I think he got something of a CREATIVE CRYPTO CRAZINESS! ---
@apostle-thomas abruptly interrupts saying, Yeah yeah with the yang-ying... It's nine-eighteen, Let's go! He should be here by now! I'm pretty sure he got something worked out. What floor is his office on again?
@general-susu said, He has several... The one we were in the other day was on a hundred, that's the main one... the other ones are on the 77th Floor --- never mind, here he is!
TOP BOSS walks up with a million dollar smile on his face and says, I thought you might be up here! [shakes hands] GOOD MORNING RABBI... @general-susu... I hope you weren't waiting too long... I thought I was early. Let me get something right quick, and we'll get this trillion dollar crypto-enterprise started! I have some people I want to introduce you to that work with me on the big stuff... I think you're gonna love what they worked out for the susu!
