Happy Birthday Mark!

Straight-forward stuff today.

If you are a single author on Steem today, that is what you are up against. Times have changed.

100%

I believe SMT's or other tokens is what will be used to reward content creators in the future.

Blogging without a purpose/remit (eg. not for oracle-d, utopian-io, etc) will earn less and less, but blogging won't drive STEEM or Steem and so I'm OK with that. Steem Power will serve you right, I'm glad you got a bunch and have held.

Have an awesome day!
