Interesting times (<= "Understatement of the year?") we live in @tarazkp. Would you mind sharing the source of the image showing you in the #1,159th position on the Steem blockchain?
"... crypto is a tiny speck in relation to the traditional economies and economic tools, which gives me confidence in it."
No question. I hope to live long enough to see it become more than that. Specifically, that I experience this asset class moving beyond being a "rich environment" for what appears to me to be pure speculation for the most part.
"Til then, I will have to convert."
Yep, as do we will all. The "gap" between the "virtual" promise of the future and the reality of what is going on in the "real world" ...
Thanks for writing another thought-provoking post!
I am just running home, so will just post the image - taken from my work desktop - it is the same on my phone, which is on a different network completely.
Will get back to this later.
No worries @tarazkp, this is perfect, as I found out where you are getting this info from - the "official" blog UIs for each blockchain ... Long a fan of SteemPeak and PeakD, I never have any reason to use those other ones ...
Hmmm. Looks like a big drop from 187 SP to 51 SP. Hahaha ... 😉
On a more serious note, not sure how impressed I should be with being #757 on Hive. I guess I can try for some "positivity" and state the obvious - lots of room for growth!
Meaning I'd like to see some zeroes behind the 757. At least two ... With three zeroes? Now we're getting somewhere!
The metric could be broken, but, that tells something too :)
#575 is pretty high imo, considering how many people are here and converted to Hive.

You may want to read my "fine print" ... 😉
Ah - I get it :D
I am a tard ;)
Most certainly not.
Seriously sleep deprived? Well ... Maybe just a little bit ... 😉
ENGAGEtokens.it is definitely speculation, as it was in the dot.com boom also - but from there was born an entire industry that has changed thew world - for better and worse. :)
Yes, understood. The best analogy I ever read was comparing the "cryptoverse" and its future prospects to the auto industry in its early days in America. I forget the number, but there were dozens of auto manufacturers at first.
This dwindled down to 3 or 4. But ... As you say, they went on to change the world!
From what I remember, Tesla is the first successful automobile startup in the US for something like 80 years - don't quote me on that though :)
