Hey my friend, hope you've been well .. yeah it's been really sad to see all the bullshit that's been going on here. I kind of have a feeling as though a crypto by the people and for the people is our last role at the dice, our last chance to detach ourselves from a failing monetary system. In that respect we could view #steemit as (depending upon your perspective) a trial run or a test .. and you know if we can't find a way to make this new space/system work (which was actually doing a pretty good at drawing an eclectic group of people together, that were originally united by intent) well you know, in banking terms we'll get what we deserve.

I think that the construct of the platform needs to change, like the greater society it's too weighted in the favour of those that have already accumulated vast arrays of wealth. Equally, a cursory glance at trending posts filled with shit will highlight the hesitation prospective investors may have towards transferring some of their wealth/crypto holdings into steem. It would seem to me that there are opposing forces that are pulling in different directions, perhaps one aspect are attempting to physically go in a different direction, I don't know .. but I guess we'll see how it plays out.

The renovations are slowly coming together .. with a strong emphasis on the slow lol Good luck with yours :) I have a couple of pretty big/deep posts planned .. but I just need to get the format of my book straight in my head before I put my mind to another subject. Catch you soon dude!
