The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. At this point my account is not only part of a cool rich list, but it's also very effective at curating, and I'm having fun doing so.

Maybe PAL

Can be THE blogging platform for the STEEM ecosystem in the future, I mean, Why not? Truth is that the upcoming HF is going to change plenty of things, and STEEM is likely to become a lot more difficult to "mine" if you will. Now if this is a bad thing or a good thing really depends on what the biggest stakeholders do, but I hope they are greedy enough to think long term.

A cool idea

Friendly Steemian @oldtimer is doing something pretty interesting, and I think I'm going to follow his lead on this. It seems like splitting PALPOWER with STEEMPOWER not only makes sense for curating more accurately, but it also adds a layer of security to it all. In other words, it seems to be a win/win scenario.

I'm still positive

Regardless of how the HF goes, I think we are going to be ok. Why? Because we happen to be blessed with some really smart people on this blockchain, and even though things have gotten rough, the builders and the dreamers didn't quit on us, so why would we?
