Firstly, lets get one thing straight. I give not one single flying fuck about the politics and shenanigans of steem(it).
I care not about the the 'investment' opportunities. (Pssssst....making money off money is corrupt. It's not capitalism, it leechism...)
But in this barrel of leeches, virtue signalling soy boys, and utter idiots - I also have a space.
(some are well meaning idiots, I grant you, and others not so much - just stupid.)
So no - I won't be getting into the politics of the day - or the politics of steem (except to 'rip 'em a new one' if I'm in the mood. Laugh at their idiotic view of reality, that kind of thing..)
I noticed the 'steemfest' circle jerk is in Bangkok this year.
Welcome to my backyard. (And Lucy's front room)
I don't think I will be saying 'hi'.
Pro Tip: - Going off the characters I see here on steem - I would highly recommend never leaving the hotel complex and the safety of the steemfest hall.
.....You boys will get eaten alive over here! lmao. Lambs to the slaughter....
There are some people I really like here, but most are pretty much irrelevant, in all honesty.
You probably already know who you are.
I'm not the 'social media type'. I tried twitter for a month before joining steem. That's was it.
This is not like in the real world, not one where I can avoid idiots and lefty 'pillocks' (a new word for ya, 
Social media sites are very useful tools though, to round up the sheep find loyal customers.
If anyone is loyal to a financial instrument ( like steem is, it is nothing more) - then you really need to clean your head and sort out your internal morale reference points.
And anyone tryin' to sell it from that standpoint, is either totally disingenuous and playing politics - or delusional.
My vitriol for this cesspit has been satiated 'somewhat' in words written elsewhere.
I will now use it for my own purposes.
Steem price is irrelevant to me in my venture, if I platform here.
(I was gonna tell you what I've been upto since I stopped posting - but 99% of you wouldn't like it, so whats the point?
It's netted me over $95 ! ....that's 300 steem - ish!! in my first ever ebook!! - Only made possible due to my 2 year journey on here.
It's not called 'Is Steem Communistic in it's Ethos, and Structure? ',.... but if you do wanna search....have a breadcrumb).
I'm back for one reason only.
Business.
I do not mean the leechy speculative kind where you sip your latte from starbucks, and try convince yourself that you're a really clever investor - rather than just being honest with yourself and admit that you're lazy. Avoid doing any real work for your money and hoping to cash in on other peoples labors.
(leechism, not capitalism)
Stepping away from this cesspool of wannabe's, something hit me. (metaphorically speaking, there were no steemit users involved ).
Quite a smack, actually.
I can't believe I missed it.
I can't believe it's been missed by steem.
This place has a fantastic opportunity. (fuck steem price).
Or rather, this place offers a fantastic opportunity to do something.
Real business, not the leechy shite.
And I'm gonna bring it here....(I think). Not from any loyalty whatsoever, just for the dollar and what the place can do for me.
I'm not in any rush - and still seeing what other sites can offer (steemit2.0?). It doesn't matter too much, tbh, which block chain social media site I use. For my purposes.
So far -to date- I have 137 committed entrepreneurs (as in a paid up 'membership'), and another 80 or so that are very interested in what I have to offer.
(Maybe build it to around the 300/400 members mark, before I start)
What is it I have to offer?
You're just gonna have to wait and see, ain't you?
Many (most, I can guarantee) will hate it - and many virtue signalling soy boys will need to retire to a safe space and squish a toy - or whatever it is they do.
Guess what ?..I truly don't give a fuck.
And why's that?
Because my business idea is not incumbent on the approval or disapproval of the 'steemit community'. And the steemprice is irrelevant - for it to be a success.
Down voting me will make not one bit of difference - and it may be even something I do to myself in this project.
'Why' will become clear....
Now I'm back I need to 'unwitness' every idiot on here. (except 
I wont be posting or engaging here too much nowadays, in all honesty.
I do keep my eye on the old place though. Habits and all that - Nothing ever seems to change, does it ?... except the more intelligent and interesting people, leaving...
That doesn't affect any future use I have of the place. I'm not emotionally invested any longer.
(see above for delusions).
