.. why would a whale scare you.. you think they're just gonna show up at the front door with pitch forks. Anything is possible when a lot of money is at stake. There are numerous movies and television

Steem Elastic

steemians will be given their fair share of the new coin. Well, Mr Sun effectively only bought a name (brand) if he doesn't include the existing community on his version of the platform , which would

The energy that put earth three planets away from this particular star and each ant in their respective colony will roll on to evolve bitcoin to $100K and then $1M territory and well beyond. Di-hydrogen

Back at ya, @blazing. May peace and luck be with you :)

There are interesting directions that a sufficiently open and intelligent mind can take this kind of information. One example, a thought that popped into my head, seemingly out of nowhere: what if there

I don't know any way of confirming whether HUMAN consciousness (specifically) is eternal or not, but I get the sense (for no particular logical reason, it seems) that CONSCIOUSNESS along some spectrum

I find it amusing that God may not YET exist... until ASI is achieved by us mortals. Imagine if the goal given to the AI that eventually achieves ASI and becomes the "singleton" (eliminating

Yep. Nail on the head. Also, hotels will always have vacancy and there will be substantially less competition for good seats at sporting events. TBH, the only bad thing that I can come up with is that

Yep, that's the one! I mostly switched to some delegated bot voting due to not having much time and with the little time I had, the 25% or less of curation rewards was not worth spending that little time

I always found you to be a breath of fresh air. I think more witnesses need to be less afraid of displeasing StInc and more concerned with the good of the site. +1

Nice. I remember seeing your name up around mine on whale(something or other).com (can't remember the name, even though I used it daily for many months), where they ranked curators for their curation payouts

The problem with your Galileo analogy is that he brought ACTUAL facts, provable by a deep grasp of mathematics (for his time), while you speak of your assertions as if they are facts, unverifiable by

Calling something reality doesn't make it so. How you can speak in such absolutes (your choice of the words "never" and "ever" in specific) is beyond me. You're either infinitely wise

Does this mean that we all have 2.5 free downvotes on @haejin per day now?

Interestingly, a DPOS blockchain structure would likely be considered the fairest for this new reserve currency, something along the lines of one "witness node" per country or "percentage

If you're going to mine BTC, you're approaching BTC as a mid to long term investor since it generally takes at least a half of a year to pay off the cost of miners. So it wouldn't surprise me if a big

Of course. If public image is of any importance to Steemit, side stepping situations such as we find here with @aggroed (conflict of interest) should be a high priority, IMO. It all boils down to a very

Indeed. I can't think of a more suitable situation for the idiom, "put up or shut up." It's felt like Groundhog Day for seemingly years now around here.
