I still have yet to figure out how to buy crypto coins, and not sure I really want to. That also means I don't know how to sell crypto coins and turn them into dollars, but once again I am not sure I want to. I kind of like having this on-line type of money. right now I am questioning if I want to continue using steemit, or make the switch completely over to one of the other front ends or other social type places. Steemit has been a leaky sewer system, but now it is really backing up and beginning to smell really bad lately. So I am still on steemit, not sure I will ever fully leave it, I do know it is unlikely in the near future anyways that I will abandon the steem blockchain. The blockchain works great, the blockchain is what is decentralized. Steemit is not, they have a few rules, and no one at steemit inc wants to "Be the bad guy", and take action against bad actors. Steemit could really use a garbage man. Palnet has nopal4u, and they are and will take action.
Lately people have been whining and bitching because of the first real action that nopal4u took about how PALnet is centralized and has a centralized authority, newsflash, all the front ends have rules, all the front end access points to the steem blockchain have rules. Steem the blockchain is the decentralized thing. I really like that PALnet creators/owners understand that. I still like the steemit front end, but that like may end up being overridden by other concerns.
So I have been trying to use and support and buy some PAL tokens when I can, even if it is only in the 3 to 10 or 20 range. It will build up over time.
