ha!... we're almost there.....nah just kidding, not yet so keep your safety belt on.

Locked and loaded, as you can see. Where's yours?

Safety tucked away..... maybe someday we'll find a place for cheer leaders and supporter (I should know, next to none of my buddies on Steem have ever given me any surprised encouragement regardless of all the support and info I give out) , until then I guess we'll just keep rewarding popular witnesses, gaming entrepreneurs (and creative hucksters), and always creative weirdos with proof of brain mining; ...can't win them all my good Sir.

When giving, always expect nothing in return. When giving thanks, I often do it in mass. Singling folks out has always made me feel uncomfortable, and I don't know why.

It's less about the expecting and much more about belonging.... if Steem crypto culture is not merely investment (as you hope) then we have to form a better way to appreciate, retain, and keep an open mind towards those awesome value added not by just creative or tech beneficiaries..... also we get in person we should return in person (or at least try).....until we evolved to pure information beings, that's still the way we are design, anything less the river does not fully flow

i spoke too soon

little did I know the drama factor amongst Steemian is so great...they (as in the majority of top 20 witnesses) had to start a shit fights against an 800lb gorilla

very soon, we'll all be sitting on a pile of dung

This hasn't been an easy day for me.

You and me buddy.... probably most of us. Justin has a cushion of >1 billion USD, honestly the whole Steem blockchain could be a mere tax write off for him.
