You're welcome. Not sure if you're familiar with them, but two other good ones are Shady Brook Farm in Bucks County and Christmas Village in Bernville. Shady Brook has tractor-rides through the exhibit,

RE: Tron to Acquire Steemit, Inc.?

I don't know if I believe it or not, but I guess it's plausible. Not sure about impacts. Brainstorming Immediate Tron would gain somewhere around 20-30% control over the Steem blockchain Tron would gain

I believe that will change only when steem offers something more than a "blockchain solution". I agree. I think it will take-off when an app emerges that people would want to use, even without

I kept wondering who in the family was in on it in order to keep convincing others to join, and to keep supporting exploration into the funds. Me too. And it's one thing to fool the family members, but

Thanks for the feedback! I can send you a copy of the spread-sheet if you are interested. It was done in LibreOffice.

Thank you for the feedback. I agree about the need to find forward thinkers to prove the concept. On your last point about finding like-minded people, that seems to be one of the biggest challenges to

Thanks for the feedback! I considered the idea of using a token, and it is certainly an option. It would be up to the institution that was doing the implementation to decide on that. I don't have a preference

Thanks for the reply! Many of the points you raise could be issues with or without an endowment, and with or without Steem. I agree that there's potential for abuse there, but I'm not sure if the existence

Thanks for the reply! There's a lot to reply to, there, so I apologize in advance if I don't address every point. Steem is not a charity any more than the US Dollar is a charity, but both can be used for

I do think we have seen that happen in practice with some of the "flag wars" of the past. One time I remember in particular, I was assuming that Steem's value was going up because two parties

Thanks for the reply! These are good questions. In real life, endowments and real-estate donations are often given with constraints on how the gift can be used by the recipient, so if large amounts of
