I wasn't quick enough on the draw to see this post, Kendra, but from Hellen's response I get the general idea.

I've been following you closely since you started this blog last July. When I would read something from you, often my first reaction was incredulity. Some of the things you claimed seemed outrageous! Then I'd look into things and think them over, then open my mind, then realize that you were on to something . Or events would transpire over time, and bear your claims out.

You claimed that XRP would one day be "digital gold". Preposterous! Isn't that BTC's use case anyway? Then Kava Labs announces the USDX token, meant for global use and backed by locked-up XRP - the same way that monetary instruments of today were once backed by physical gold.

You claimed that XRP would be used to fuel the derivatives market, powered by Codius. Ludicrous! XRP is intended for cross-border payments, and 1500tps isn't enough for that kind of action anyway. Then we find out about DTCC to run on R3's Corda Settler, with XRP as the settlement asset. And now Coil (COdius + ILp) just announced they can handle 1 trillion XRP transactions per second off-chain.

You claimed that BTC would get shut down through government intervention in mining pools. As if! Then in April China announces its intention to shut down PoW mining, as it's detrimental to the well-being of the State.

You stated that evolution as we know it today is a lie, and that fungi are ancestors to life on the planet. What a crock! Then I looked into it and came across MANY articles like this https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/the-oldest-fungus-ever-was-just-discovered-and-it-may-change-what-we-know-about-evolution-2157449.html

You predicted the world having a single religion by 2030. Impossible! How would they all get along? Then I looked into Agenda 2030 and saw the plans for a one world religion, and see the initiatives to build one today.

You claimed that transferring one's consciousness to another body is not only possible, but happening right now (and that Steve Jobs' consciousness was now in Charles Hoskinson). Inconceivable! Then I saw a video of Charles "going off" on a rant, and it was PURE Jobs. If I'd closed my eyes I would not have been able to tell the difference.

I read your writings on Lucifer and the ether, and it opened my eyes on an entirely different perspective. Having been raised in a Judeo-Christian environment, the name "Lucifer" used to conjure up images of Satan & satanism and evil and blood sacrifices. You helped me see through the brainwashing to a new worldview.

In summary, what you shared smashed a lot of my closely-held beliefs, and helped me to grow into a better, more discerning and questioning person. I'm in my 40s, and still have the other half of my life to go if I'm so fortunate. If it hadn't been for you, I would've spent that second half still in a narrow tunnel.

And this was accomplished by you when you weren't even trying! Just posting your thoughts, knowledge, and sometimes even your moods onto Steemit, for whoever might just stumble across it. Sometimes it may have even felt like no one was paying attention (but we were). With your HUGE plans and creativity, you have a chance to change more than just MY path, or the paths of your couple of hundred followers. You have the chance to change the course of the world itself. To remove yourself from it would be a grave loss to all of us!
