RE: I just asked Vitalik Buterin to join us here at Steemit.com ;-)
Look, I love this platform.
I was linked to this peculiar article earlier today (who knows how trusting it is) by an Ethereum developer. In the interests of sharing and transparency, I will share this link with you...

#whales, please don't vote me down for this. I am a long term proponent and investor into the #steemit platform, and I truly believe in this protocol long term.
To be honest, I couldn't care less about how decentralized it is. I like the idea, I think it is a powerful one, I believe in it, and long term I think it will give all of those that don't currently have a voice, but something we can learn from, a voice as well as better future.
Kind regards,
Optimistic
