I'm really glad to see other people feel the same way as I do! I have been here since July 2016 and A LOT has changed.. I remember when Dan announced EOS, and I really felt like it was copying what STEEM already had the capabilities of doing..
I had mentioned that Steem had smart contract capability like EOS before EOS even was announced 3 years ago here..

I also talked about a "Future Digital World" all on the Steem blockchain 3 years ago here..

I always felt like Steem was the mainland, and with Steem-Engine and Tribes becoming a reality.. I really think this is the REAL beginning for us, and YES we are finally out of BETA!!
