Thanks, @steevc. It means a lot and I must say you are very underappreciated Steemian and I would like to see that change.

You are such a down to earth dude and that's a big part of why I like you. I know you on other social media platforms and see you promoting Steem and promoting decency.

We have our eyes set on the future. At times I have my apprehensions due to the bots and their utter incompetence in making this place the kind that people WANT to be part (spare @themarkymark as he has really distinguished himself as being one willing to sacrifice to the cause). Perhaps, other will see the example and step up to the plate. The bottom line is there is a mess. Not trying to say who is responsible for said mess but you probably know I have my views concerning the matter.

We want to work to make Steem a place where others are scrambling to be a part and not just speculative investors. We have so much going for us. We just need a little more attention to detail on the social aspects.

A big part of that is moderation and, as we have a stake based voting mechanism, it is common sense that such moderation would operate in a decentralized fashion as well.

I thank you for your support for my work. I will continue to honor said support and together we will build the Steem of tomorrow.

Unlike the trenders, to achieve our goals, there are no shortcuts. Just hard work and persistence. We'll get there
