The end of our steem / steemit journey
Yesterday we - 
These - like all the steem we received before - were directly converted into Hive.
We could have speculated for a better exchange rate but like the other weeks, we did it directly.
12 weeks it took us and every Wednesday I was checking the best and simplest way to exchange the received steem into hive. Most of the time it was steem-engine.

You might wonder why it took us 12 instead of 13 weeks
Well, we started the power-downs 12 weeks ago on a Wednesday evening. When there were 5 weeks left there was the hard-fork that not only removed a lot of steem from users but also reduced the power-down period from 13 to 4 weeks. And that happened also on a Wednesday evening.
So we stopped the power-downs and restarted them which spared us one week.
Double feelings
Steem and steemit did a lot with me. It enhanced my interest in crypto but also showed me new aspects of social media.
I got to know new people from all over the world ... but also some living very close to me.
Most of them will stay "virtual friends", some of them I had the chance to meet personally, two of them died much too early.
One of the two is the person who engaged me in the very beginning to start my journey 2.5 years ago.
So I left the platform that did all this to me but luckily 99% of the persons I got to know on the steem blockchain moved also to hive.
This makes it not only much easier to say farewell to steem - formally known as a decentralized blockchain - and steemit. It makes me happy to draw a line under the past and see the great development of hive with all its dapps.
All the content is still available now on hive - nothing got lost.
This being said, I want to thank all readers and supporters who actively followed me on steem and still do here on hive.
You will not see me on steem/steemit anymore.
In the last weeks, I still voted for some posts on steemit written by people I appreciate and like when I saw a post more or less accidentally. This will stop now too. It makes no sense to vote with 4 SP left and I simply will not log in there anymore.
Thanks for stopping by and reading.
HIVE ON!!!
