View this post on Hive: I powered up 100 Steem on Steem Powerup Day!
In mid-February 2020 Justin Sun acquired the shares in Steemit Inc and proceeded centralise the blockchain under his control, improperly using Steemit's founders stake (intended for development and decentralisation of the blockchain) and tricking exchanges into initially supporting his power grab.
After extensive efforts to resolve the dispute failed, the community revolted and formed a new, fully decentralised blockchain - Hive - without the pernicious influence of Justin Sun and his minions.
Because of Open Source licensing, Hive was legally able to duplicate all the code and content on Steem.
The vast majority of the community and decentralised applications and projects moved to Hive and Hive was listed on many cryptocurrency exchanges without having to pay the normal listing fees.
On 19 May 2020, a Steem hard fork (0.23) designed to steal the Steem from 65 accounts associated with creating Hive became public.
My position on this hard fork can be found here: https://peakd.com/hf23/@brianoflondon/letter-to-exchanges-do-not-run-steem-hard-fork-23-hf-0-23-0
This was the final straw for my involvement with Steem.
I will now post exclusively on Hive at https://peakd.com/@apshamilton/posts
All my old Steem content can also be found on Hive.
I powered up 100 Steem on Steem Powerup Day!
Today is steem power up day (SPUD) - An initiative started by @streetstyle. Let’s power up our liquid steem. Don’t sell any steem or send any to exchanges today. Power UP ! If you are in the process of powering down, cancel it.
Join in the fun and see how this little experiment goes.
Also don't forget to:
Glad you're joining! :D Curious to see the effects of this, if there's any. Unfortunately there's a lot of selling going on too ;-)
PS: As an artist, graphic designer and photographer I'd love to remind you to always credit the images you use ;-) I hand-made this image myself from several elements I made or bought licenses for over the years.
Cheers!

Sorry I thought this image was part of the SPUD campaign and I just linked to your image rather than copying it.

Just powered up every bit I had! Not much admittedly, just .39 Steem... but, it's all organically grown over time! :D

Hi @apshamilton, I read on one of your comments you were trying to claim a cryptocurrency called SolarCoin.
I'm right now developing a separate solution that if successful might help you recover your costs faster too. So, I'd like to ask you a few questions to test the idea.
Just a 5 minute phone survey - can?
