I felt compelled to ask him for one, but I made an attempt to pay the bills with Steem this month and it turns out I am going to have barely enough to accomplish this...

Still a notable achievement to set a goal and work to reach it. The banner looks good! It's got rich color and texture.

Change is hard! Some will leave, and some will stay. In fact, I just got back from a long blockchain hiatus only a few days before the @ned departure. It's been a whirlwind, and I concur, there has been an air of uncertainty. What else to do but enjoy the ride and see what unfolds around here (and beyond)? Take care, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
