And this is why you'll always be my Boi! I loved this, especially:
Trust: Without it none of the above matter
Great epic post Teamsteem....
I'll never forget that first time i went into slack in 2016 and i thought you were one of Steemit's employees.... I was wrong!
You're one of the Steem blockchain's workers, a true peacekeeper of the original mission!
Thank you so much Stella!
It's a pleasure to know you, read you and talk to you! We should have a chat soon and record it for prosperity! That would be a lot of fun!
You're a rockstar yourself, @stellabelle!
I too love the trust part. Trust is easy when people are genuine friends. If you are both furthering the same things in life, your life long objectives, then trust is never an issue. I know my true friends would never betray me because we have the same goals. If someone is fighting for individual liberty and voluntary interaction between people, there's no reason for me not to trust them.
It is easy to see if they really are furthering those objectives too, for over time their true intentions would be revealed through their actions. We see plenty of consistent people here on Steemit. They are our friends, and their track record proves it. Those are the people who I will do all I can to support.
