Steemit moves fast. Really fast.
It's easy to lose track of the beginnings and ends of the weeks when you're lost in the social blockchain all day, but sure enough, a new week is already halfway towards it's end.
And what a week it's shaping up to be.

Bitcoin got in rough waters on tuesday, with Bitfinex losing tens of thousands of them to a hack.
And now Wednesday has us scratching our heads with cases of blackmail on Steemit . Thankfully, our team of would be vigilantes took the instigators out of commission.

There's theories going around. Too much stuff is happening at once in the fintech world. It's insiders and inside jobs that are behind all this, so they proclaim. Honestly, I don't know. There's really not much to be said, we're all kept in the dark no matter the side you were to believe or put faith in.
I'm personally taking a break from Cryptos and Stocks. Sometimes you just need to unwind and enjoy the sunshine for a bit. I'll be curating on Steemit while catching up to my backlog of games and shows.
This post has no deeper meaning. There is no moral lesson, no punchline and no relief.
