Crazy times as COVID-19 grips the world, stay safe and healthy wherever you are.
It's been an emotional roller coaster of a week so far, between the crazy situation we have had around the Steem Takeover and now just being 15 hours away from a new Blockchain fork in HIVE, plus COVID-19 now taking a serious grip on the UK which has seen most of my coffee shop customers having to close, including my biggest local customer Square Chapel. Plus my Dad started suffering with chest pains last weekend which was a big worry, although after an ECG the doctors today confirmed it wasn't a heart attack - so big sigh of relief although he is still not feeling great and of course right in the risk zone for coronavirus.
All this has lead to a perfect storm of confusion for me, I've been trying to keep my business running while facing what is a critical loss of income as the UK Government continues to tell people to social distance and avoid hospitality businesses - causing many of my customers to close.
At the start of the week I was discussing with @welshstacker in the #brits discord about what would happen with dapps once Hive forks the blockchain - and I said what I thought would happen - Hive and Steem would both exist and most dapps would allow an api choice so you could choose the blockchain to use them on.
Since then it has become obvious that Steem is a centralised dictatorship, made clear by steemit.com blocking of HIVE related posts. That really makes any thought of staying with the old Steem blockchain untenable, I really think that developers and blog creators combined should seriously consider their options right now and decide where they have allegiance - only one blockchain will come out of this on top.

The greatest challenge we face on Steem blockchain is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steem blockchain posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets. Finally I have a dedicated website to my Artisan small batch roasted coffee featuring roast and post packs and super easy coffee subscriptions

Want to have your post on the map too?
Terribly sorry that your business is having difficulties with all this Virus stuff. All we can do is hope for the best and plan for the worst.
Blessings and groovy vibes to you and yours. I am off to get my reheated Chinese Takeaway out of the oven. I treat myself about once a month. The restaurant gives one so much!
Although there would be a 30 day waiting period (to have seasoned enough SPs to be able to witness vote on the Hive) there is nothing to stop Mr. Sun from taking over the new chain after a 30 day period. He could come in using multiple accounts so as to not be so easily targeted as was the case with v. 22.2. One could only wonder if the Hive witnesses would try targeting Mr. Sun's accounts selectively based on personality, alone, as opposed to their previous justification of pre-mined ninja stake. 😎
Be safe and take care 🥰🌺🤙
