For whatever reason, steemit is powering down, I for some reason do not care personally. Because as long as we make something out of nothing I am happy with that. I guess I haven't put in any fiat money whatsoever in steem so I don't feel as obliged to know what is going on. But I agree it doesn't hurt to do a post to inform others about this massive power down excercise. Perhaps someone is planning a big trip of lifetime around the world..lol. Who knows @ned, @dan anyone? So I can personally wish them a safe trip. Cheers and full steem ahead.
