How long have you been on Steem?
About 3-1/2 years now. I joined because I saw a liberty community here, and I was intrigued by the experiment with a blockchain as a foundation for a blog platform.
Did you have a goal in mind when you joined Steem?
I wanted to practice my writing, first and foremost. I honestly thought the site would fade into oblivion like so many other altcoins and related projects. It still might. Who knows?
Are you still on track with that goal?
I'm still writing fairly regularly, so yes.
How have your goals shifted?
I have started to be more active in grassroots moderation through 
If your goals have shifted, what were some of the driving factors of that?
Before the last fork, we had an epidemic of flagrant abuse of the system. People were gaming the system, crowding out real content creators, and generally making the platform unappealing to new users. I wanted to work to change it for the better once I had a stake in the system.
Based on your expertise, faith, or other divination skills, where do you honestly see the overall value/landscape of Steem at the end of 2020?
I can't even begin to speculate. Cryptos are still an emerging technology. How they will provide value to the general population remains to be seen. I only know enough to know that my gut instinct is a terrible barometer for crypto prices. Governments want to horn in on this new monetary system that lies outside the control of their central banks. They, and their corporate cronies, will try to get in on the action any way they can. It could be messy. But we need to continue to fight for freedom. Maybe Monero will take off with its superior privacy. I don't know.
