Skiing in Oslo
View this post on Hive: Skiing in Oslo
In mid-February 2020 Justin Sun acquired the shares in Steemit Inc and proceeded centralise the blockchain under his control, improperly using Steemit's founders stake (intended for development and decentralisation of the blockchain) and tricking exchanges into initially supporting his power grab.
After extensive efforts to resolve the dispute failed, the community revolted and formed a new, fully decentralised blockchain - Hive - without the pernicious influence of Justin Sun and his minions.
Because of Open Source licensing, Hive was legally able to duplicate all the code and content on Steem.
The vast majority of the community and decentralised applications and projects moved to Hive and Hive was listed on many cryptocurrency exchanges without having to pay the normal listing fees.
On 19 May 2020, a Steem hard fork (0.23) designed to steal the Steem from 65 accounts associated with creating Hive became public.
My position on this hard fork can be found here: https://peakd.com/hf23/@brianoflondon/letter-to-exchanges-do-not-run-steem-hard-fork-23-hf-0-23-0
This was the final straw for my involvement with Steem.
I will now post exclusively on Hive at https://peakd.com/@apshamilton/posts
All my old Steem content can also be found on Hive.
Skiing in Oslo Winterpark has been a study in contrasts.
Sunday was perfect weather after a week of snow and it seemed like everyone in Oslo was on the slopes.
Sunny, just below zero, no wind and perfect snow conditions made for the best skiing conditions I’ve experienced in a long time.
Only problem was everyone in Oslo thought the same thing!
Lift queues were pretty bad and there was no danger of tiring oneself out on the slopes. Most of ones time was waiting for lifts.
Lucky I was with my nieces and brother-in-law so always had someone to talk to.
Today, Monday, the place is almost deserted, even though conditions are still great, if a little colder.
I have been on my own on every lift and ski straight up to the lift gates with no one else around.
This proves either that Norwegians work too hard or are very picky about only skiing in perfect conditions.

Rather be there than in the office for sure! It hurts to remind myself that I will miss my annual ski trip this year due to circumstances out of my control! Hopefully can make a longer trip next year!

Is Lift time long enough to explain People bitcoin and steem? Do you have Internet there?
Posted using Partiko Android
There is internet in the restaurants. I explained Steem to my Norwegian brother-in-law on the lift.
