Survived another Hard Fork!

I don't remember much about Hard Fork 20, except that it took too long to recover

Having been a (almost daily) active steemian for the past 2 years (anniversary coming in October), I have to admit that even though I see much disappointment, I do not follow these feelings

I will not create a long, technical post - I will just write a few of my personal observations during the Hard Fork 21 (just completed a couple of hours ago)

@coingecko had created a great page where we could see the countdown and the steem group at telegram was full of life!

Some after thoughts

  • The community is getting stronger
  • There are places now that users can find help and answers to their questions (so much easier than when I joined)
  • People gathered at the steem telegram or on twitter were making jokes (ok, some were complaining too, but it is only natural) - but I got the feeling that everything was under control
  • Communities such as @actifit, @steemstem and more, were actively informing their members about the news

What's new ?

An important change is the 50/50 rewards to author and creator, something that I really do not know how it will affect the content produced.

I do not plan to stop writing, on the contrary, my plans as of September (soon!!) are to continue being more active than the summer time (difficult times still going on in my life)

Regarding the 'downvoting' that will not affect our VP, we will see how it will be used.....

What's for sure?

There will be lots of changes in the next few days, it will be nice if we all stay around/together and make this chain shine through honesty and constructive dialogue.

As always, I am being super optimistic, and not ashamed of it.

A big thanks to everybody on steem telegram for the news and entertainment (you know who you are!)

About the photo
I was walking with a little bit of a haste to buy something (garlic, because I was cooking lentil soup) when I saw this beautiful blue .. and an impressive lady with a hat taking a picture of the view. I tried to make a photo of her, almost failed, but I made it. Hard Fork was in my mind, and the solitude I was feeling, being a watcher to the unknown future. But luckily, there were more of us watching. Information was current and accurate at all times. I felt safe and comfy, I admit.
