I just woke up in a misty Brasil after only 4 hours sleep.

Didn't sleep to well.

I guess to much crypto emotions in one day for me yesterday to process in 1 night :)

I'm glad the blockchain is up and running again and even though it could have been prevented in the end everyone came together and it was fixed.

Which is what matters the most.

For me, it shows the resilience of this chain and the people building it.

What I personally like is how emotionally people get when the Steem blockchain shows a 'hiccup'.

The fact that people (myself included) can't go one day without this chain speaks volumes about it's success in my opinion. (I could easily go a day with Dash, Ethereum, Bitcoin).

And it was fun to go and checkout different communities and see how they handled things in the downtime on discord.

This will only increase in the future (the different communities, not the downtime...hopefully :) ).

Some more good news.

I did wakeup to a small pump in the Steem price! Not much but still a nice 20%. Let's see how that develops over the coming days.

At times, I do miss vlogging about Steem even though I still believe it's not necessary anymore.

But there is emotion in spoken words that I just can't translate to paper.

I think I will sneak one in from time to time :)

Anyway...

It's one of the last days in Brasil for me and Bianca.

It's been a very nice getaway from the usual things.

It was also the first long holiday I had since ever without the worry of any IT pending doom hanging over me (I used to have my own company for 10 years).

That freedom is hard to describe. All thanks to STEEM.
