After a 9 month hiatus, lots of money spent on lawyers and accountants, hundreds of hours of trying to make sense of all my crypto activity between 2012 - 2018, I am FINALLY BACK!
Seriously, if you don’t document your trades well, especially if you use sites like Shapeshift, Bity, or even blocktrades without an account that tracks and stores your entire trade history

Technically I’m not done with the Israeli Tax Authority yet (obviously I’ll never be done), but at least I know how much money I need to pay them. But because the banks in Israel are reluctant to receive any crypto related funds, it’s a bit troublesome to pay those taxes. There are a few measures I can take to get the money in to the hands of the government, but it might take a month or two. More than that, if I’ll have to go to court.
So What Are My Plans On STEEM You May Ask?
First and foremost, just as it was before I went MIA, to grow and foster the Israeli STEEM community. To finance (via upvoting) great content creators in this country. To help new Israeli steemians acclimate to the blockchain, and hopefully thrive here long-term.
I won’t be upvoting only Israelis who are active on STEEM. A decent chunk of my VP will go to great content creators from anywhere in the world. So occasionally I’ll browse the science, economy, psychology & similar tags, and leave nice tips on the authors’ payout.
No witness server for now. The blocks produced probably won’t cover the costs of the server. And the last time I tried to configure it, I had to nag the brains out of over 5 witnesses, to get the damn thing running. I might have to just hire a witness to set it up, bounty style. But as I said, as of now, this is a low priority.
I’m doing a lot of brainstorming with different people about what can we do to make STEEM better, but nothing is concrete enough to make an announcement.
Oh, yeah! I think I need to start utilizing my video editing skills for the STEEM ecosystem. I can do mostly tutorials and video guides. Video capturing my screen, explaining everything with a voice-over, and adding some graphic elements where necessary, etc’. I’m open to suggestions to what kind of tutorials you think STEEM might need. So if any Dapp needs a video tutorial showcasing their features and what not,
I’m always available on Discord -

P.S more SP is coming. It takes a while to gather lots of STEEM with current liquidity.
