Super awesome collection of news and updates! That is such great news that Steem is on a top 10 buy list. It is such a fantastic deal right now!
I will contribute to the #steemfest4 fund. I’ve determined that I won’t be able to go this year but I do want to help support those who are attending!
That's great. Hopefully some of these good news points will wake up the world to Steem soon...
I hope so! And the onboarding must become simpler.
That is a must for the platform.
