Are these the tiny first signs of a Steem Spring...? Steemit Inc has spoken not once, not twice, but three times over. I had a great audience for my special 'Look Foward to 2019' show on MSP Waves. And STEEM is still holding around $0.28 (at least it's not falling). ---

The Dark Overlord has moved to Steem

The Dark Overlord hacker group @thedarkoverlord, after being banned from Twitter and then Reddit, has just moved to Steem, with the help of @ausbitbank. The group, known previously for leaking episodes of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, apparently have a massive cache of secret 911 related documents from the US Government and Lloyds of London. They are offering the documents in return for payment in Bitcoin. This may certainly help turn the spotlight on the censorship resistance of the steem blockchain.
