RE: Steem blockchain just became a centralized database
The Crypto market was heading towards consolidation.
This can make Cryptos more relevant in "real world" acceptance.
By forming a strong front, Steemit, with its Social Media Platform & Token potential, could have drifted to nowhere once the bigger mainstream platforms stepped into the Crypto market.
Having other dynamic coins, some new entrepreneurial leadership and some drama/newsworthy excitement, may just be what Steemit requires to push it above the surface.
Also, it seemed with the suppressed prices (and staff being paid in Steem?), that those who were keeping everything together were being pushed to unreasonable limits, especially, since the staff purge.
The fact that the structure of Steem allowed for such a move to take it over, just answered the question I always had of "Who holds the keys to the castle?" - we are just tenants. Just some have bigger houses than others.
Keep Steeming!! Our content is our value. I hope the for positive changes & a step into the future.
Seriously amazing comment @jagged
I was wondering why didn't you post anything in over 3 weeks? Did you give up on creating content on Steemit?
ps. I'm managing project.hope hive and we're focusing on topics related to technology, AI, blockchain as well as economy, business, marketing etc. Consider posting within our hive. I upvote all valuable content with min 100k SP. Plus I actually read most publications within our hive.

Hey @crypto.piotr,
I've not given up on Steemit, I never have.
I've not been impressed with my potential content - I don't like any posts to feel forced- and my day to day has been a 180 flip from when I was working full time.
I had no time back then, in a depressed zombie trudge, and now, in my independent from corporate life, optimistic lifestyle, I've felt the need to correct some of my neglectful wrongs with my domestic life, fitness & entrepreneur endeavours - all whittling away time as well.
I read as many posts as possible on Steemit that I can, but again, I don't like it to be forced. There is so much information content in the real world, and online, that my capacity to filter them all is exhausted.
By the time it gets to evening, I am pooped, I've had to drop out of many real world groups I had joined too, as I couldn't justify spending the hours with an outcome that wasn't a benefit to my goals.
I'll keep an eye on project.hope hive
I'm always looking for a paradigm shift.
There is no right or wrong. It is a clash of idealist and realist. Most of the time the realists win.
I have described this in my recent post.
Thanks for the comment!
