AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Should everyone be so worried? Well yes! Forks can hurt a lot when used correctly to inflict pain... Forks can also make a person really holy.
Is this hard fork going to be the end of the world? Well everyone around me is so scared, I say crazy people. But quite literally every person I have spoken to about this lovely hardfork has a sense of fear around them.
I, on the other hand, am really interested to see what this will bring to the community. For many months, well actually since I started on steemit, I have been trying to help the "minnows" get some light and value on their amazing posts. I have had many projects as you are well aware of "The daily pick of hidden gems" being the most successful one of all.
I am hopeful that this will be the end of the minnow struggle on steemit, or at least the beginning of the end. Recently I have added many minnows to the sea, but I really feel sad as that lovely swarm of posts, in steemit's "new" category, is starting to develop and infest once again.
These poor souls are getting very little votes, even from other minnows. It could be that minnows don't feel like voting, or the spam is hiding posts after 30 minutes.
Whatever the case might be I am hoping that it will help out these minnows and distribute the value a whole lot better in this ever growing and loving community.
I will be posting this up within this new hardfork in the hopes of seeing exactly what it is all about. My advice to all those viewing this: I have lived through last years 4th of July and thus I have gone through all the hardforks that have followed. Consistency, as well as staying positive, will be your best friends at this time. The last hardfork we went through was rough, but all those who still posted through that time will tell you it was worth it.
Stick with us and keep on steeming.
Now onward to the hardfork with arms, my fellow men. I will be with you no matter what.
Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.
