Ya it's ok, my grandma came to the rescue and PayPal'd me $20 to buy some groceries. First time I've had to ask for money from anybody in a while, but it's only $20 so I won't feel too bad about it :-).
This bitcoin fork business is driving me bananas. I just wanna see steem reach the higher valuations that I believe it deserves... I'm still optimistic about hitting $2+ as a new normal by early 2018, it just feels like the external pressure of Bitcoin is crushing our valuation for now.
