I prefer to make sure we've handled every possible attack vector now before Steem grows to 10X its current size or more.

Very high hopes you have for the growth of Steem. Commitment, disaster preparedness plan, and built contributions are ideal values for a witness. I do hope Steem continues to grow as competition enter the field.

Yes, I am local. Just don’t advertise it. I’m in the suburbs for the school system, but you know how Philly is, everything is within a short commute.🙂

The challenge with a decentralization platform is lack of privacy. I’m a private person and only wish there was a private feature here as in FB. I know, I can’t compare the two. ;)

I will check the #steemphilly tag more often and use it if my posts aren’t so silly. I do look forward to one day there being a summer event!

Thank you for your support above but in general too. I know you don’t advertise the support you show to our community members but I do notice and appreciate it. They really are good-hearted individuals.

On another note, I know many of the people I admire on here have conflicting viewpoints on the operation of this platform. I will continue to show my support to all and perhaps one day some viewpoints will overlap just enough to embrace one another. 🙂
