To New Beginnings
Spring, the earliest spring date in 124 years, and we start anew on Hive Block Chain. That little fact was from the farmers almanac, (https://www.farmersalmanac.com/spring-equinox-first-day-spring). I did not read the whole thing, its an ad centric page, and I just did not feel like seeing ads.
I am glad to see so many people from Steem block chain moving over here. It will take myself some time to get used to the new chain, and some time to figure out what to do about the old chain. For the next couple of weeks I am going to try and move back and forth, with mostly concentrating on Hive Chain.
I like pictures so here is the one I selected to use for my community test page I created to test the day after Christmas. Communities I felt were going to be a real boon to the Steem chain, that they were going to usher in a new age for the Steem Chain.
Just as they were beginning to take off, well we all know what happened. That picture was taken on Aug, 8, 2019 two years and eight days after I first joined Steem block chain.
I look forward to seeing new people joining the Hive Blcok Chain, and being able to see more of the world through the eyes of the people that live there. That is the one thing I really loved about Steem Block Chain, all the real people from all walks of life, from all backgrounds and from pretty much all over the world.
We have an opportunity to be a test bed for a new global society one that is built by us the people, and not people that think they know what is best for us.
I hope we can all learn to grow together, we are a diverse group of people as such we should not try to set our morals, our standards, our culture as the dominate factor on the Hive. Let us instead take the best of and build it into something better. Let us not make excuses for those of different cultures instead let us work to blend our native cultures into a real world culture.
I am not sure of all the names behind the Hive Block Chain, I know is one, and that
had something to do with it also, I would like to thank them for giving us this New Beginning, and for the chosen date of the new beginning. Just a few google search facts:
- 124 is the sum of eight consecutive primes (5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29)
- 8 is the luckiest number in Chinese
- March 19, 2020 is ... 79th day of the year (note that 8 would fall in the middle of 7 & 9)
- There are then 287 days left in 2020 (There is 8 again in the middle)
- Oh and it is a leap year
So thanks for picking a day that if we want we can make a lot of noise about yesterday.
But I think we should stay on the positive side of the number, no need for burning bridges)
Finally I want to thank all the people from for so quickly getting
up to use.
