Hey, @whatsup.
It is kind of a bittersweet feeling these days, isn't it? Holding, but finding the fun and enjoyment where you can for as long as you can. It's somewhere between hope and stubborn.
At the same time, there has been a rush of innovations from the community, and Steemit might eventually catch up after all the under the hood tinkering. I don't know what's going on anywhere else, but I like the idea that there has been some movement after well over a year of waiting, HF20, and now waiting some more for HF21.
