Well said @bashadow. I hope you make it to the 5 year mark too. If anyone deserves to be heard, its you. You have been a stalwart from the time I met you and given so much to the community.

For years one entity did control steem.

I completely agree... That seems to be lost in the whole "we don't want one guy to control us" argument. Its laughable that people don't see it.

I still stand with those who feel it was a mistake to fork out the stake, that the witnesses started this war on steem and they are the ones that need to fix it

Completely agree with this too. Where is the accountability?

As always, I love to hear your thoughts and wish you the best!!!
