Celebrating HardFork 21 Day on STEEM

Happy STEEM Hardfork 21 Day!

August 27 is the day of this momentous fork event which is 4 hours off as I write this post. I find this information from the wonderful and ever helpful Hive account@coingecko who have a countdown clock on their site:

How are you planning to celebrate this change to STEEM? A good idea is to read posts from the people who have opinions and clout. If you pay attention to steemitblog, they have mentioned that a $20 post payout is our new bar to know if a post is worthy. All of these posts below exceeded that mark:

Hive account@drakos gets about $90 for showing a bunch of math. This post also explains how the witnesses can revert to the old version if things take a dire turn:

Hive account@justineh is getting $68 for "normietalk" directed at the common steemer idiot below the top dogs. There are a lot of details in the post I have not seen elsewhere, so take a look. Hive account@justineh is positive and optimistic and urges patience even though, "we don't know what the results will be."

Hive account@minnowbooster is getting $47 to explain curation rewards and make a pitch for you to stop delegating to bots and now start selling your votes instead.

Hive account@thecryptodrive's post has $80 for a lot of background info, thoughts on delegation, and this wonderful idea that this fork will end "up being a soft fork, metaphorically speaking, because it will likely soften hard hearts and change the ethos of the community to one of togetherness and inter-reliance."

Hive account@eonwarped gives us an opposite view to the one above. In this $35 post we get some concrete ideas for how to proceed if we are not sissies.

Hive account@emrebeyler's $23 post announces a cut in the beneficiary rewards over at dPoll. I dPoll daily, so this is a cause for my celebration already!

Hive account@aggroed wrote a letter to bidbots for $53. This post has over 150 comments, so he struck a nerve.

Hive account@coingecko's $75 post talks about their countdown clock and their witness activities.

Hive account@carlgnash's post with an $86 reward asks us to prove we are serious about curation and gives us ways to show our love for STEEM posts.

Hive account@hilarski is a critic and not thinking this fork will help in his $21 post. He will continue to upvote manually and is not planning to downvote.

Hive account@timcliff's $92 post wants us to "start to dream about what this place should look like." Over 250 comments have been made on this post, so people must be dreaming.

I have been posting daily holidays recently and today, August 27, is actually "Just Because Day." So this is the reason for my post. I am thinking of the fork just because I have no choice but to be a part of it.

I will celebrate by

• moving my auto-voting times to 5 minutes
• continuing to follow the couple small trails I already do.
• continuing to curate down to about 80% each day with the rest of my votes
• continuing to post 2-3 posts a day using dApps I like.
• Powering up some STEEM for SPUD5 on Sept 1 and all the following SPUD's

I am still a STEEM believer after two years of it. How about you? Enjoy your day today, and please let me know how you will be celebrating. I want to hear from you!
