It was such a spectacular launch. But seeing 2 of the 3 boosters return to earth and land successfully was amazing. Too bad about the third booster though.

Thanks Luke. I just now saw this :)

My team is the Bears so no joy here lol.

I like Cuban. If I remember correctly, he's been a fan of bitcoin. He's a forward thinker which is good to see.

It's hard to protect copyright on a decentralized block chain system. Steemit has made strides with dedicated people (and bots) that check content for uniqueness. But if an article is spun and rewritten,

I guess. I've rarely seen a writer get decent money for posts who either didn't buy a lot of SP or get support of one or more whales. It would be nice to see a more equitable system. But I do support your

I come back from time to time to see how steemit is doing. I was surprised to see whales and even witnesses (!) selling their votes. I knew they frequently upvoted their own posts, but this was a new twist.

Don't forget the crocodile tears.

@fishmon lol

It's one thing to have someone else write your posts. It's kind of baffling that he didn't read what you'd written all the way through.

Yes, there are rumors that some Witnesses are selling Witness information for cash. Very political imo.

Done. I voted for @patrice. Maybe she can help add some integrity to the Steemit platform.

I'm voting for @patrice if I can figure out how. Surprised Jerry Banfield is selling witness information. I would think that would get you kicked off as a witness. I soured on him after his posts about

Just curious. Who's the CTO now that Dan left? Thanks.

Thank you!
