Greetings, Friends
Welcome To the Beginning of the End
Well Maybe
Well friends, it was a good ride and fun while it lasted. Am I leaving? No way! As long as the lights are on, I will spam out my barely adequate pictures and spout out my ever changing and less than well thought out opinions. However, since our fearless leader Ned has decided to power down and as of this writing, failed to give even the slightest reason why, a person must think what is good for the goose must be good for the gander. I have never powered down a penny since I have started here, but this silence from Ned is not very confidence building. Now in the equity world when insiders like the CEO buy or sell a position, it is well noticed. I want to be in a stock where the CEO is buying more shares with his own money. I try but cannot think of a good way to spin this scenario with Ned. I mean why now? I know powering down does not equal selling, but why would you power down if not going to sell. If your intention was not to sell, then why not tell the community? Plus, why would you be selling at such a low price, unless you knew it was going lower???
Every end must have a beginning and maybe we are seeing the beginning of the end. While Ned has given us no idea why he is powering down, he did give us this wave goodbye as he finishes his day at the office yet might it be a subliminal wave goodbye as he starts his power down. I have no idea. This is just wild speculation at this point but is what happens when the leader of a community makes a drastic move without any explanation. Might it be a seemingly clever way to let us in on the inside joke, without saying anything?
I have been told time and again that the coin Steem is worth more than the site Steemit. To be honest, I never bought into that. It seemed to me an excuse to throw the development of making the site more user friendly under the bus. The entire time, the public could not get in the front door while users were streaming out the back door. The value of the site was never appreciated. Like I have said before look at Farcebook. The don't have a coin, but they do have a market capitalization on over half a TRILLION dollars. Yeah say that real slow...over 500 hundred billion dollars. No coin, just a site that works...
Power Down?
Have I started to power down? No, I have not pulled the trigger yet. I am hoping someone can give me a reason not to...
Thanks for stopping by!
