When you said your mom nicked your post I literally about spit out my coffee laughing. She did a really good job with and it looked like you all had a blast. You might have some family competition on Steemit now! :)
I definitely know what you mean about advising or helping others with investments. Even if you believe 100% in a project, you know there's some risk and don't want to feel responsible if it doesn't turn out well. It's especially tough when it comes to family.
Great news on the announcement by Steemitblog for the announcement next week and really pumped they're making strides pertaining to scalability. I agree, a mobile app would be ideal as the younger generation access the internet almost entirely through their phones. I'm also very happy to hear the Steemit team making the announcement. The more involved they are with giving updates about technology and the direction of Steemit the better.
Have a good day brother and hope you get the bid!
She did make a really nice post and it did well (she was so happy, it was great). I'm really looking forward to next week!
