Happy new year @nanzo-scoop
I think you hit the nail on the head in the New Years blog with regards to 'growing allegiance' and peoples faith in particular coins becoming stronger.
It seems ludicrous that a coin with 1 million transactions a day is languishing behind other coins that are either little more than a pipe dream or have zero traction in terms of actual users.
I'm hoping many have picked Steem, because it excels in multiple areas, and will make 2018 a cracker for us all.
Apologies for not introducing myself at Steemfest, that was a wild ride of 'what the hell I am doing here / this is awesome, I don't know what's going on!'
As my 'punishment', I've curated your blog a little.
Cheers!
Asher
Happy New Year to you also. Hopefully we'll get to speak at Steemfest 3!
Cheers, good plan!
