It was a journey that was started and only could have done with @adept because we built thesteemitshop.com for @ned which landed us steemit.com email addresses and into the company Slack in September 2017. It was sad losing him and the closing of this chapter makes me think back.

There's @adept on the right. This is where it all stated at the Buffalo, NY Bitcoin Meetups that I would put on. After meeting @ned in NYC, I spent weeks looking at everything on the Steem blockchain and pitched it to my Meetup group as the coolest project. The next day @adept sold about $30k of ETH and bought STEEM. We talked about Steem every day pretty much for 6-7 months until he passed away.
