I admit that I sometimes speak with some aversion about old systems like banks but also traditional media at times. But when my brother ( @look4balance) send me this clip today I did feel joy. ------ ![WhatsApp Image 2018-01-05 at 11.34.10.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaXddPsqQXYTB8NKWU8oHkqgQDmJ2GSyXRWz2qPeN5PNS/WhatsApp%20Image%202018-01-05%20at%2011.34.10.jpeg) ------ It's Steemit being mentioned in the Dutch Financial Times. For me it's just another sign that the word is slowly getting out. Fantastic! The Steemprice had a small pullback from the $8 mark which seems only healthy to me. It's still solidly above $6. What I noticed about my own payouts (that have gone up a lot, because they are calculated over a 3.5 day average price) is that the amount of Steempower I get is incredible low compared to the SBD. Again another reason I consider it so precious. I wanted to send some SBD to blocktrades today when I noticed that the option to select SBD and STEEM was not there. I tried using it with a memo I used before just to see what would happen but it did not work. Blocktrades is my favourite way in and out of the STEEM blockchain. I hope it's back up soon. *EDIT* block trades posted a message about the wallets. [here](https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@blocktrades/steem-wallet-down-temporarily-on-blocktrades-back-up-soon). > We're working as fast as possible to get the wallet back up. In the worst case, I expect it to be up in the next two to three hours. > If you've reused an existing memo to buy or sell Steem/SBD, your transaction will automatically be processed at the time our Steem wallet comes back online.) ------- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf84t6h3Ds3PRaKvNgnSgL9WZuWzphjXhBKJDfpGDun4g/Exyle%20logo%20final%20_%20RGB-04.png ------------- #### I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain.
