Yes, you've got to prove yourself an authority, and passion and knowledge are indispensable. Narrowing the focus is also important. Thanks for the reply.

We poets have to stick together. People today don't value poetry like they used to, so its easy to get discouraged. You know a person is a poet by the level of their self-doubt. Set yourself free -- believe

I'm pretty sure I voted for this one. But I've been traveling for the past two weeks so I might have missed some. I couldn't be online every day, so I got on when I could. I'll check it on it some time

There's a push to break it up. The co-founder Chris Hughes wrote a blog post about it. If they start to dominate crypto, I think they'll break it up.

What has suffered the most are the characters. They ruined Tyrion. He was so clever. Then, the last two seasons, who was just a silly imp. The writing was not nearly as good.

Another great story, @blueeyes8960. If you'd do me a favor, I love that you're cross-posting your stories to the prompts, would you tag @gardengnomepubs for future posts? Thanks and keep writing your awesome

As usual, @wales, great lyricism. I expect no less from you these days, but you always mesmerize with your use of words. You should have more bylines in the best lit journals of the day.

Excellent tribute @dswigle. It's these kinds of small acts of gratitude that make any sacrifice a welcome for most veterans and service members. With 12 years behind me, including a year in combat, I speak

This is unchartered territory. I hope for the same thing, that STEEM's value with increase enough to make it worthwhile, but my bread and butter is still my freelance writing business. Keep executing excellent

I'll take a look and see what I can do. :-)

Absolutely! I encourage you to do so. There is a world of opportunity online for anyone with unique skills. I've been running my business full-time since 2006. Before that, part-time since 2001. Feel free

Whales certainly affect the Bitcoin market. I don't think they control it completely. It's a complex economy because the HODLers don't really affect it. As long as they hold onto their coin it is a hedge

Great review. I agree with you on some points. I like how it ended, for the most part. I might have changed a few details, but the first three episodes of the season were total crap. They were not

This is a very thoughtful post that respects the power of personal choice. Not preachy, like a lot of vegan and environmental advocacy posts. Yet it shows a deep respect for the environment and nature.

I see this as a potential stepping stone for Facebook. If they can get just a small number of their users to adopt GlobalCoin as an intrasite currency, they can then parlay that relationship into a crypto

I agree with @agmoore. You likely have enough material for a collection. And your poetry is terse enough, employing a true economy of words, that it should fly. I really like how you drove the execution

Excellent, as usual. I love the short short form. You're doing well with this.

Kettle Head! Interesting. I love seeing art like this from all different corners of the globe. Unless you know the story behind a piece of art, it might be difficult to ascertain the meaning. But you can

You have a pretty smile, and your artwork is excellent. I love how passionate you are about crypto. I know it has helped a lot of Venezuelans. Keep the good work going.

I think what drove volume before was the bull run of 2017. Last year's bear market had those who were in it for the crypto drop out. When there is another bull run, I think we'll see more interest. Most
