Yes, the stats for Steemit.com have plummeted. And really, why not? With the new fork, it makes sense to allocate your power to voting bots therefore you don't actually have to visit the site. Whereas

Yes, universities can use this framework to create a formal cybersecurity or cyberscience degree program!

Morning @themarkymark. Yes, I do have a Discord account.

Great intro! Welcome to the platform.

Agreed and there are many dynamics playing in this theater. The rebels have a huge win and have vowed to step up more attacks. Iran may be in hot water and want to back off due to potential backlash of

I was voicing the same concerns. I hoped I was wrong, but don't see any indicators at all that I was. HF21 will drive away all remaining decent original content. Other sites are rewarding authors and Steemit

There is a great documentary on pangolins by National Geographic

Great blog and perspective! Plagiarism is unethical, brings harm to legitimate sources, and undermines the value of truly original work.

Payouts continue to crash. Whales control 52% of Steem power, yet there are only 22 active whales. :( 89% of Steem power is controlled by less than 2k active accounts, out of over 200k total active accounts.
