Strong But Not That Strong

The Steem Blockchain hiccuped after the recent hardforks. No one said getting to the top was easy. Battered and bruised but we made it.

Some say SPUD5 and all that Powering Up brought the Steem Blockchain to its knees. SPUD5 was strong but not that strong. This was more likely a coding issue due to the recent hardforks that the Steem Blockchain recently underwent.

Regardless, this SPUD5 will be a memorable one for many I am sure.
