yes, I reCyCled the image (get it?) and the post. I did edit the original post by adding just one or two words which I put in parenthesis. I just really liked the analogy, the picture and the overall message so I felt compelled to re-post it in hopes that others that didn't get to read it the first time get to do so now.

It's About the Steem Journey and Not the Crypto-Destination

The road is never smooth in the real world and so too in the crypto-world; bumps, bruises and bugs is part of the experience. The question then becomes do you keeping riding or do you pull over and get off? Or do you trade in your ride for a newer more modern machine?

SPUD is my response to those questions.

Just like today, many riders of Harley Davidson Motorcycles have many choices when choosing a ride with today's modern technical amenities and improvements, but yet many don't jump ship and remain riding HD's with older motorcycle technology. Many of them are die hard Harley Davidson Motorcycle riders and don't ever even consider changing to any other brand of motorcycle.

Call me old school or a maximalist (for Bitcoin and Steem), but I am Here until the Steem Road crumbles and I fall off the crypto-highway or it lets me Ride off into the (Crypto)-Sunset with you all.

STEEM is my Gas, STEEM POWER is my Ride and SPUD is the ROAD (I am on).

SPUD4 PRIZES

As of now there are 2 prize sponsors for SPUD4. I will be slightly amending the qualifications to be considered for a prize in order to open it up to more Steemians.

Prizes ( so far, unless we get other prize sponsors):

-2500 STEEM POWER delegation for 4 weeks by @xpilar

-1000 STEEM POWER delegation for 4 weeks by @streetstyle

The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy. The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, then it becomes final and the prizes will be awarded.

What is SPUD, Prize Rules and How to Participate in SPUD4 coming soon!!

Stay Tuned for more info coming soon.

Please help support SPUD4 by posting about your SPUD experience, SPUD memes, re-steeming and up voting SPUD posts and simply letting others know that the community intends to make August 1, 2019 a STEEM POWER UP DAY!

Thank you to all who have helped support prior SPUD days, and to all those who will help make this SPUD4 spectacular!!
