Another great piece of content, @tarazkp - thank you! It was a wise decision to start following your blog :-)

I remember that Steem City is a term that was even used by @ned once. IMO it perfectly mirrors the different evolutionary states of this blockchain and also kind of describes that metropolitan feeling - loud, chaotic, but truly inspiring - one experiences when entering conversations on a deeper level.

So, I am left to wonder... are we a different breed here? Has this platform naturally selected for intelligent, strong-willed individuals? Is that why I find so many of the people I meet here to be the most interesting humans I've ever met?

That's an interesting question many of us may've asked themsevels at some point on time.

I guess the fact that we're still in an early adopters stage which usually doesn't attract the average, but rather those who're itchy, thirsty, visionary and somehow different, has a great impact on the userbase and their integrity.

I fully agree that our different backgrounds, skills and standpoints are of inestimable value to this network. Where in the world do you have the opportunity to bring (let's say) a developer, an artist, a scientist and an economist together at one (virtual) table in order to talk about the universe?

This is not just another social media website, and it's a great priviledge to participate in this community every single day.

Had to resteem this one, keep up the great work :-)
