Wonderful and eloquent diatribe Taraz!
Just in time for me personally...
I'm just a Steemian Rewards Burner these days.
Not willing to make any USD investment at this time for STEEM POWER ~ Maybe later.
HardFork did nothing to make things better for me personally, so I JUST BURN ALL THE STEEM REWARDS.
I just use this fantastic blog platform for e-book writing ~ I'm addicted to STEEMPEAK... It's amazing and become more awesome with each new innovation.
I recently set up a templet for a new signature series ~ Transformative Spiritual Faith ~ which puts me in the midst of a more positive spiritual mindset so I can do my best work, and JUST BURN THE STEEM REWARDS!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts so masterfully my friend ~ always appreciated!
