Do not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
Thank you I like lists.
Holybread is meaningless fun, I'm in the top half of scores so far.
I appreciate the list of TRON/STEEMIT acquisition posts, important to know where this is taking us. By us I mean all the individual account holders, bloggers and steem holders here, which by the stats on redfish to whales, is not very many.
A dying species near extinction, or a thriving few elite fortunate high flyers?
Congrats on the Holybread progress!
It will be interesting to see where all the current developments lead to for the 'general' users of Steem...
I agree that Holybread is for the fun and you will not come rich with it.
😀
Thank you for all the valuable information and for including my contest:) Much appreciated:)
You are welcome.
