RE: Can I Ask You A Simple Question? SteemNews - Celebrating A Rather Remarkable Blockchain Achievement - Read On To Discover A True Blockchain Ambassador...
Thank you for these very kind words @stevenwood.
It has been a long haul, with a couple of breaks along the way. But it never ceases to amaze me the amount of activity happening on the Steem blockchain when we scratch a little beneath the surface.
Our collective task now is to go out and tell the world about it.
Oh my friend, let me tell ya, you are far more than welcome and it is just a tiny part of the acknowledgement and recognition you deserve for a job well done. I have had a crappy last 12 months or so due to many health issues that I am tating to recover from and spend a little more time around the blockchain again. The reason I mention this is that one of the first things I did after the most recent hardfork and being away for a longer than usual spell was to hit the search bar and key in the letters P-E-N-N... ((well I'm sure you know where this is going...))
I knew that when I hit your page I would have a flavour of the state of Steem and I did! There is a hardcore of people here that share your ethos and belief in relation to this fabulous community that lays the foundations for the rest of us.
In relation to your observation or should that be rallying cry?
I accept that challenge my friend. I hope that the suitably futuristic sound of the year 2020 ((many considerably younger than we, may not quite see it that way BUT I know you know what I mean lol)) speaks of an era where we start to make that quantum leap that has been a while in coming but was always coming nevertheless.
I have said it before and shall say it again. The future's bright thanks to those I consider pioneers ((certain by now that you realise I regard you as such lol)) who already blazed the trail for the rest of us to follow. I intend to think up some creative ways to promote just what we have here and to bring in some wonderful new people who would benefit greatly for the immense sense of community and connection we enjoy here.
When I saw that substantial, milestone number 250 next to yet another edition of the Steem News I just knew I had to take a moment to share my thoughts and at least mark the moment. I'm sure you realise I don't have the most substantial following or the highest engagement here but still wanted to take a few minutes to say thankyou, congratulations and maybe introduce a few newer members to the Steem News.
Long may it reign my friend. Take great care and hope to catch up again soon when maybe I have begun to master the skill of brevity ((although I doubt it very much!!!))
Thanks again Steven.
I hope we can all push forward and begin to build the numbers on Steem.
