I needed to create a bit of filler for a few shots of my new reel and this was one of them. I posted a work in progress version a few posts ago if you're interested. I could talk a lot about how I created this and it would sound like a Steemit Inc post talking about rewards curves, but with less sparkle graphs.
Particles are involved and something called temperature is driving other parameters like the particle scale and color. Just imagine I lit a match on a clay head that was covered in lighter fluid and said color these particles based on how hot this area of the head is, that's basically what's going on.
Now that I've got that "good content" out of the way, on with the shit posting.
I'm SO ready for this next hard fork. Not because I think it will be great or anything, mostly because I am super desperate for a change. I don't know how this thing will play out, but I'd rather it be pushed out and fail miserably than to spend more time standing still. I'm one of those people that would rather see things go down vs sideways.
It would be great if it worked. We could potentially keep our .40 cent peg. I think if we want to move beyond that Steem will have to start getting serious and maybe...doing some marketing??? 🤯
In other news,
I'm full on excited about Libra as I've learned more about it. I know, I know, evil corporation and all that, but it will probably take a while for them to pull whatever dastardly deed they have up their sleeve and in the meantime I think it will be great for all(most?) cryptocurrencies.
I imagine their wallet will quickly be accepted everywhere similar to Apple or Google Pay and if we can quickly and easily sell Steem or tokens here for Libra, that will give instant liquidity.
Imagine you go for a coffee and realize you've forgotten your wallet, instead you pull out your phone, sell some Steem/SBD/PAL whatever for Libra and within minutes or seconds you can actually use it to pay for your goods. Libra might make the end goal of what we all want here come a lot sooner.
Even though I don't trust Facebook, you know who I trust even less? Big banks and the government, so when I see them crapping their pants at Zucks announcement, I can't help but think it's a good thing.
That's all I've got for you, enjoy the rest of your Friday.
