So the hardforks are over and everything is settling back into place. Things have certainly changed and so far it's looking like good change. There are more accounts looking to curate again, which should hopefully start to balance out the fact that authors will get a smaller cut.
Some of the charities on the blockchain have been feeling the pinch from the low Steem price. @azizbd had announced that he will be running a Patreon page to try to raise more regular funding for @schoolforsdg4. @drutter's Mission Agua Possible is just about treading water, but not exactly coming on in leaps and bounds as they swim against the tide that is the Steem value. Kudos to them that they aren't giving up, but continuing to persevere.
I’m going to continue using liquid Steem rewards for @steembasicincome shares, as this seems to be the best way forward while the price is low. Although Steem isn't exchanging much for fiat, it still buys one share at one Steem, which is life long for the account. If things change then I'll review this.
Here's how the last round of liquid Steem from the Life Relearnt Project was used.
All Liquid funds from this post will go to @familyprotection, @gloriouskids, @littledisciples and @schoolforsdg4 in the form of @steembasicincome shares or donations.
