Well said! I stayed up until midnight waiting for the stream only to realise a few minutes later that it wasn't happening. There wasn't any panic posts immediately, so I went to bed peacefully. It's in many cultures that being late or a no show is deemed as disrespectful, but let's see what he says in his next post.

Thanks for the break down of Witnesses you'll be voting in and I'll consider voting for some.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on 'Monetization of the blockchain'. Personally, I think it will come in the form of buying and selling either physical goods or value. Like you said, businesses. I acknowledge that 'dstors' are in the process of being like an 'Ebay' or 'Amazon' of sorts where you can buy and sell items on the blockchain, but even current apps can form ways to trade their SMTs (when it comes around) between peers or for goods or services and this will have a relation to Steem. I feel people (including myself) need to start treating Steem as a currency to trade with as many buy, power up and HODL, which is good for the ecosystem now. It shows strength during uncertain times. However, we buy Steem for another reason, to potentially make a fortune. Buy loads of Steem now and when/if it reaches its all time high again of $7-8 and/or beyond, current Steemians will be happy bunnies. That was the appeal of Crypto for many, its volatility in a bull market. Yet, a more realistic upward trend can support a system of trade and business on a daily basis. Still looking forward to your comment on the matter 😊
