Thanks for bearing with me

I've been dealing with a number of personal issues such as the death of my father this past February. Unfortunately, that and other issues combined have caused me to deplete my queue of gaming videos. I'm testing the various software tools that were recommended to me in the hopes of finding something that makes the video production aspect a bit easier. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. :) I'll be able to re-build my queue and get things rolling again, and I'll post an announcement when that is happening.

In the meantime, holy BOOP did cryptocurrency take off or what? My Steem account was worth ~$200 last time I checked... Not that I'm complaining. XD Every other coin seems to be on the rise too, and I'm hearing "Bitcoin @ $500,000 by 2030" regularly now.

I'm doing a small sampling of altcoins to see how things are going:

DigiByte, Edgeless, Factom, Golem, Stellar, Stratis, XEM, and Ripple. I'm using BTC, ETC, and LTC for the big ones - and of course Steem, I have no intention of cashing out or powering down.

I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions, buying tips, or donations from any crypto millionaire philanthropists who are feeling generous: bitcoin:1TKPnVa9qFazEY5RLwDkGM3XwcFa8BqvC :)

Also, something I was wondering about:

Should I upvote my own posts?

I stopped doing so once I reached a certain threshold of upvotes, but now it seems like the voting may be a good way to mark or indicate my own content. My vote bot upvotes me if Steemtrail or Curie promotes me. Please let me know your feedback. :)
