This is well written!

After the recent debacle on steem, I guess everyone realized the power of their votes. But the responsibility continues as community participation will have a profound effect on how hive moves ahead. I hope everyone reads and understands this post.

BTW Hive account@pharesim (with my other account Hive account@norbu) was one of the first witnesses I voted for way back in 2016, and have continued to do so till now!
