Hi Nathan!
It's honestly so good to hear from you! It sounds like you popped out the other side of some tough times... and that you are now well on your way to some really great things!
I hope that you can re-invent yourself over here on the decentralized version of Steem(it). Hive is where the future of DPOS is. The community stands together here without the previous limits.
I'll always remember the #Seven77 Challenge (last summer)! It was impactfull even though Steem(it) was selling off putting tremendous downward pressure on our price goal of $7.77. #Seven77 brought us all closer together and forged unforgettable bonds. (Thank you for putting that initiative together!)
I am confident that together the Hive community will close the gaps that were more and more apparent on the Steem(it) Blockchain.
I think that we can transcend and move past our old problems here on the Hive Blockchain. The game has changed and that means Hive is free to develop into a game changer!
So yeah! I guess that's my best attempt at extending my hand your way my friend!
Sending you a #HighFive! (5 Hive + an extra 2 Hive for a total of 7 Hive for good luck!) 😉
