We had another beautiful episode
of @TheSteemingPile last night. It has proven itself to be quite the usual adventure with the wide array of topics discussed. If there's anything I've personally learned in the past 17 weeks of this project, it's that it is predictably unpredictable. And we like it that way.
If you are new to The Steeming Pile: Welcome!
There is a broadcast every Tuesday night at 7:30pm MST (Check your timezone by clicking here). Each of our simulcasters host their own stream capturing the limitless discussions as our graphic facilitator displays LIVE notes and drawings. One of the coolest features of the show is that anyone is welcome on anytime to self-promote and/or talk about literally anything that comes to mind.

We must continue to fight the trademark war. This shit is just not even fair at all. Take a look at the DLive video.
"Marvel Characters, a subsidiary of Disney, seems to not understand what we mean by the eradication of economic oppression, in Wacoinda. Wacoinda is a group that is built on love, cooperation and economic empowerment. We use our love to learn to collaborate with one another so that, at that point, we can empower one another economically."

"You might be aware, that we at Smartsteem are currently taking on some new exciting projects to finish the year. Among the project ideas we have bounced around, we've decided that one of the best ways we can do our share to help the platform grow, is by contributing to the education of it's users.
We completely understand how frustrating it can be for new users to grow on STEEM. The formula for growth is not rigid per say, but some of the foundations we intend to share will allow for those with the right mindset, with the right hunger to grow and achieve their personal goals much faster."
