Really old trees become so gnarled, they have character. It's amazing to think about all the stuff they have witnessed.

Well, apart from POB and Hive, I always had a soft spot for Doge. It's a joke coin that reached great heights through the power of it's community.

It's always a little scary when a whale dumps coins. Hopefully the dumping is over.

You need to be careful about extrapolating. When I started in crypto there were only five coins: bitcoin, litecoin, devcoin, ixcoin and peercoin. I bought them all because I believed crypto was going to

I'd take the Hive Power because by using it to curate, you could double your money if you were diligent. Even if the Hive price halved, you would still be ahead thanks to the curation rewards.

I don't use twitter much - most of my social media interaction is on Hive. When Hive was forking from Steem, twitter actually censored callmedan and some others - presumably because Justin Sun asked them
