First and foremost, gratitude and acknowledgement of the power of the tools we are using right now to express our highest aspirations. It is astounding what Blockchain applications are doing, in real time, to effect lasting, positive empowerment, by building upon existing telecommunications and Internet infrastructure.
Obviously, there are myriad crisis unfolding before our eyes. Censorship, demonetization, anti-rational group think, a war between the sexes, our civilization divided, our environment in dire need of loving care. These problems are both real in one sense and greatly exagerated in another. In either case, the challenges of our day must be addressed with solutions and solidarity.
I believe that the power each of us has been seeking as individuals is found both within our own inherent capacity and within the community that empowers us to realize our full potential. The ability to change the world for the better, to create genuine equality of opportunity, is proven by the simple of existence of a platform that rewards community cohesion through contribution.
Much thanks to Dan Larimer and his team for their noble works.
Much thanks to the Steemit community for making this platform what it is today.
Much thanks to those who are being introduced to the Blockchain through community driven platforms like Steemit.
It is an honor and a privilege to be of service to our Blockchain community. Looking forward to sharing updates and news about developments that add value, as well as bring in new participants. I am humbled by the power of these tools, and the willingness for this community to bootstrap open source, world wide opportunities to participate.
This is Kiril Ravensong, at your service.
