I received a newsletter from Steemit and am quite excited that Steemit will be going forward again.
Well done, so the Phoenix rises again as the saying goes.

The ancient myth or legend has fascinated people throughout the ages.
It is a bird that regenerates itself from the Ashes of the Phoenix who died before!
The bird is associated with the worship of the Sun, as the sun also dies at sundown and rises again in the morning.
Across many cultures the mythical Phoenix is depicted as a beautiful exotic large bird, resembling an eagle of a Peacock.
In Ancient Egypt and Classical Antiquity, the worship of the sun is closely connected to Phoenix/ The bird has brilliant scarlet and gold plumage and a beautiful musical cry.
According to legend, a single Phoenix lived for a period of 500 years. Nearing the end of the lifespan the Phonix will build a nest with fragrant aromatic boughs and spices, then set it alight. It will then allow itself to be consumed by the fire.
From the ashes and the fire, a new Pheonix will arise, and gather the ashes of its father into an egg made of Myrrh. The new risen Phonix will fly the egg to the city of Heliopolis (city of the Sun God) in Egypt. and place the ashes on the altar of the Sun God Re.
Phoenix is associated with immortality and an undying Rome.
So in comparing Steemit with the rising of Phoenix, I am sure we can see many great things as in the past with Steemit.
