This is your best piece yet. Well done.
For me there is a single word that describes what is lacking on STEEM - Integrity
I've now been here long enough to be able to identify that a lot of the "upstanding" members here are really just using a facade to serve their own interest. No different from the mainstream I guess.
Yes, I am an investor. Yes, I am powering down. I am also an aspiring author, which is the only reason I'm still here.
Words. From my mouth. You stole them.
Except maybe this part:
"This is your best piece yet."
I hope I produce/have produced something better at some point!
Well, some of your posts certainly have more humour and I have perhaps enjoyed those ones more. But for hard hitting substance this is perhaps your high water mark ;)
I guess it's good that I took the opportunity to mostly go out on a high note, then.
Notice that my "best piece" got flagged into almost providing me a loss, after I account for the bids on bots. I would have actually made more posting a blank blog and just getting my autovotes.
Which is, ironically, why this post needed to exist in the first place. However, I'm done taking any for the "team" (aka Steemit).
