Well put. Not sure about the last part of the act though. Might still be another image. Like @johndoer123 I quit caring so much a long time ago. When the Sun thing started kicking off I resigned myself to the fact that I may loose all the money I'd put in.

No matter what, it's been a fun, interesting, frustrating experience and I'm grateful for that and all the great people I've met on the way.

This just reinforces the conclusion I came to after a few weeks here and that is that humans, in general, simply aren't mature enough to manage decentralisation yet. Sounds nice but I don't think it's possible, or maybe even desirable, yet.

That's not to say it's not worth giving it a go. We have to start somewhere and Steem was/is? a great start.
