RE: STEEM

With even a cursory investigation of cohorts' capability comparisons, it is clear that STEEM continues to stoically charge on without much fanfare.

And it should be noted that STEEM's dev team has wisely avoided the pitfalls plaguing many others in the space and hasn't succumb to the common practice of satisfying immediate gratification at the price of long term viability and value.

Yes, bling is cool and can be a symbol of personal success if, and only if, it has been rightly earned vice leased.

An old mentor of mine taught me long ago, that anything acquired on credit (or by "Crystal Ballin' it" - over-optimistic mortgaging of the unpredictable future) loses its luster very quickly.

Thanks for the insightful post.

Namaste, JaiChai
