Yesterday, I received a message from a very happy & excited sounding eco-alex.
He had written his very last post and quit Hive.
This gave me quite the shock but at the same time I'm also happy for him. I understand like no other that he needs to do this in order to find out what lies on his path, and I'd be the last person to say he shouldn't. Always follow the heart is my motto, and in his case Alex's heart is telling him that he needs to close a door at Hive in order to open doors in front of him.

With Alex leaving the Hive blockchain, we also see the end of 
Of course, I had to use the
Its trademark QOTW, or Question of the Week, kept many brilliant minds occupied every time Alex came up with yet another amazing question.
He did this without effort, or so it seemed.
I'm not sure I would have been able to come up with all the great questions he asked, in all the years that he did.
Besides all the other things he was busy with in his life.
The funny thing, is that this news came to me only a day after I decided I wanted to start yet another project of my own.
I have three projects in the pipeline now but two are collaborations of some sort, while this one would be my own (and with hopefully some community involvement).
Alex warned me that it's very hard work, which I know and have seen. I helped sometimes with ecotrain, and just the little things I did, like a QOTW tie-up post, was a lot of work.
But I feel that I have to try it at least, or I'll think about it forever!
But this post is not about that.
I will announce my ideas soon. Very soon...
A Thank You
I've spoken to Alex last night, and heard all he had to say. Then I went to sleep and many more things were flying around my brain.
So here it goes:
Alex, I want to thank you for all the amazing years, and all the great work you've done to keep the
The project has become a great part of my life in these years, and so have you.
Even though I have mixed feelings about the project's end, and am a bit sad to see you go,
I am also very happy for you that you are following your inner voice, and your heart and are up for an exciting future.
Not knowing your destination is probably one of the most exciting things in life, and I have so much respect for you that you're willing to make that jump.

As I said to you yesterday: I know for sure that everything you do, will turn to gold, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
I see a great future for you!
We agreed to keep in touch, and I really hope we will because I'm very curious what it will be you'll end up doing, or where you'll end up going! And who knows? Our paths may cross at some point.
THANK YOU for what you've given the
THANK YOU for all the chats we've had, and lending a patient and listening ear whenever I needed it.
THANK YOU for just being you, throughout all these years.
THANK YOU for your generosity, your big heart, and all the things you've taught me.
And last but not least:
THANK YOU for being a friend.
I wish you the very best in whatever the future has in store for you.
I know it will be amazing.
I am not saying good-bye my friend, because I know we'll meet again some day, somewhere...
May Love & Happiness always be on your side.
I'm sure I speak for many others when I say you will ALWAYS be in our hearts.
