Great post.
Yep bye bye FB you had your day, Crypto + Steem is the future!

FYI Your password created 5 keys for you.
By default you probably logged in with the "master" key.
Not a good idea as it enables access to your $$$.
It's better to log in with your Private POSTING key.

wow, i had no idea they were having issues... the hackers are everywhere! (-:

I'm still using fb and have never used instagram. I'm in Thailand and fb has been strange all day today. It's down right now for me.

I've noticed all kinds of people posting on fb about this las vegas fakery and so I think they might be trying to stop people from talking. Just a theory, but this is the first event that I see NO ONE believing.
