This is literally the first time I read something positive and uplifting about the current situation on steemit, I just landed here few days ago (in the middle of the hardfork) and all I've seen and heard in the chats is that it wasn't worth and all that. I was completely lost because I barely understood what was going on... but to be honest I just wanted to share some thoughts and collages and all that negativity got me a bit scared, then I ignored all that stuff and decided to give it try... and here I am (: Thank you for the explanation about what's going on and for staying positive. I have no idea how steemit used to work before but right now I'm having fun.. and reading/learning A LOT. I agree, maybe is a small sacrifice that had to be done so the platform can evolve.
Thanks again, it's been enlightening ✧
