I know. Thanks for stopping by! I was just letting off STEAM! I hardly look at my wallet these days anyway. When I had a decent amount of Steem that could have been cashed in last year, I converted most of it to Steem Power so that my Upvotes would be worth more, but then it just all evaporated. Steem is a good name for it in that sense. Lol! I cashed out a few hundred dollars to see that The money was in fact real, but it was such a rigmarole, I’m not sure I even remember how I did it!

I did come back with my eyes open after the break, not really expecting much, and not really looking at it as a source of income. It’s the principle of it all that bothers me. I know that the reward pool has to come from somewhere, and a lot of big investors are gone now. I just don’t see how those with voting power are going to vote for and curate the little person in this game, no matter how good the content. They are going to Upvote those who already are making more Steem. That’s what I think, anyway.

I’ll still be around, I suppose. I had to have my say. I like writing through travelfeed.io, so will most likely continue at least until I finish my French Polynesia series.
