RE: Blood Moon Eclipse - A Change Has Come
Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps others better understand theirs too. Those are some profound insights. Feel free to share more of what's clarifying for you, if you wish to later. Maybe we'll get you to actually create your first post! LOL
Hi @indigoocean. This last week to 10 days has been like frying in a frying pan through this summer's heat wave here with temps averaging close to 100 degrees every day in a 140 yr. old stone house with no AC. I don't like AC, but came seriously close to buying it this week. Needless to say I've been sweating off layers of stuff to release... LOL
LOL on the first post too... If I hadn't have done so many posts after I began my power down I would have been fully powered down to only a few steem by now after 21 weeks or so. So given all I learned here and how the CEO of Steemit Inc. has been powering down so far half of his holdings in steem, albeit at least he stopped selling when so many of us steemians complained and is holding 2/3 of a million steem in his wallet, my faith in his faith in Steemit is at an all time low. So I am trying not to post at least until I complete the power down. It's also very frustrating that nearly 53 steem in SP will not even empower me to give a penny anymore to any post I like, such as yours. Obviously, steem being so close to dollar parity doesn't help either... Anyway, sorry to be a bit on the negative side. I'm just in a holding pattern sweating it out here. LOL
I've been hearing about intense heat waves in much of the world. Here it has been pretty cool for Summer, with highs only in the upper 70s and lower 80s most days now. There were a couple weeks in early July when we had temps in the 90s every day and I finally broke down and bought what's called a swamp cooler. Basically it is a fan system that evaporates water and has "ice blocks" that you freeze and put in the tank. It doesn't lower the temp nearly like AC, but it will drop things by maybe 10 degrees in an average size room, in my experience. They only cost about $100 and you can order them online from a number of stores.
On the STEEM front, I had no idea that was happening. That explains a post I read from one of the witnesses. Well I'm still invested in the ecosystem here, even if it does lose some support. There are so many people all around the world being supported by these platforms. Even if it went down to .25 per STEEM, I'd still write for the platform, since the money is a bonus to me, and I've never taken any earnings out at all anyway. But I can understand people seeing it as a business, and so evaluating it as an investment of time that may not be profitable.
Hi @indigoocean, Sorry for the delay. Yeah, it's been a harsh week in the markets and that's hot enough... :) I'm in semi holiday mode, anyway. Although, still active on Minds about to finally go mainnet tomorrow. I see steem still below a USD. It was over $4 when I bought in. Good thing I didn't buy much. But everything has taken a beating this week. It's like winding the clock back to nearly a year (buying opportunity).
