Dying traditions

https://steemit.com/blog/@m31/dying-traditions

Author: Hive account@m31
Curator: Hive account@nicnas

-=- The traditions of home cannot and should not ever change. But that is just the nature of things. Our traditions and celebrations change. But we can not change the history of our home. So we do what you do Hive account@m31, we remember these traditions.
I love how Hive account@m31 shows emotion for these lost traditions. The best thing you can do is treat them as you always have and ignore the commercial holidays of today. The new generations always destroy everything. :)
But I think change is good, otherwise we wouldn't grow. Even if every change isn't for the best. -=-

Curator: Hive account@ironshield

-=- All eyes are on Bitcoin as it reaches historic heights. Hive account@jasonshick takes a look at the past, present and speculates on the future of Bitcoin and on the various alt-coins. Will the value continue to increase as interest and demand increases? Or will people loose interest? That remains to be seen, but many are optimistic. -=-

-=- Have you ever been to a Steemit meetup? Hive account@gringalicious takes along to the North Idaho Steemit meetup. Gathering at Capone's Pub and Grill, they gabbed and ate and enjoyed each other's company. It's always nice to have an in-person experience to associate with a Steemit account name. Sadly, they were not able to upvote each other's comments while at the pub, but the live interactions more than made for it. I wonder if Capone's accepted STEEM to pay for the bill?Have you ever been to a Steemit meetup? Hive account@gringalicious takes along to the North Idaho Steemit meetup.

Author: Hive account@clumsysilverdad
Curator: Hive account@ironshield

-=- Does anyone remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? If you don't know what that is, ask your parents they will tell you. Today, we are rebuilding our nuclear arsenal, and it is thought that this encourages others to grow their arsenal in an arms race. Hive account@clumsysilverdad asks the question "Do we have any defense against all the proliferation we are encouraging?" -=-
