"If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars."
- J. Paul Getty -
A quick Google search confirmed it.
I seem now to be, by all accounts, the richest man in the world.
That's kind of amusing, since when I awoke this morning, wealth was probably the furthest thing from my mind.

I actually arose a tad early,
as we have company at our house for Thanksgiving and I was hoping for a little "quiet time" alone at my keyboard to check email, Steemit, and other social media.
Imagine my surprise when,
checking my Steemit wallet, this is what I saw:

If I'm reading that right,
my current Steemit Estimated Account Value is one trillion, one hundred fifty five billion, fifty two million, nine hundred thirty thousand, six hundred thirty seven dollars and one cent.
Say what?
$1,155,052,930,637.01???
I guess I must have missed the bull run in crypto overnight. Oh, well, I wonder what my BTC are worth today? Although that probably doesn't matter too much, now that I can live off my Steem...
And, checking back, the account seems to be increasing on its own! Well, they say it takes money to make money, and my money apparently got the memo and is already hard at work.

What's really cool,
is that my Steem is all "sweat equity." I earned it all by blogging here.
I guess I can now stop putting off those assorted purchases I had temporarily set aside...
You know, all those little things that I just couldn't quite afford before. The mega-yacht. The continental mansion. The lodge in Aspen.

I think I'll ring up Elon.
I'll chat with him later today to see if—for a modest investment in SpaceX, of course—he'll build an extra Starship (formerly BFR) for me? I've always wanted a flying house, and a SpaceX Starship should get me around the solar system pretty nicely.
Care to come along and help?
After all, it's past time to break ground for my retirement complex on the Moon, not to mention my little summer place on Mars. I only wish Ray Bradbury were still alive, I'd take him to my Mars compound and we could dine alongside the stream flowing through the house...
How was your morning?

P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.
