Whether 'tis ignobler in the mind to suffer FUD...

Boy, 2020 sure has started off with a Bang. Bitcoin and alts are waking up for their dormant winter sleep, the Corona Virus, Kobe, Down Voting wars for support Steem Basic Income, and now Tron/Justin Sun are one of if not the largest holder of Steem.

From what I understand, at this point, what many felt was a Sell out by Ned or a hostile takeover by Tron/Justin Sun, it seems that maybe Justin Sun doesn't plan to do anything drastic to the Steem Blockchain. The remains an air of uncertainty, but after watching a Livestream of the Steem Witnesses and company, it seems that they mostly remain cautiously optimistic while remaining vigilant. I believe from listening to them that they too have a sit and wait to see what happens attitude, but are looking to make a plan b just in case.

In the meantime, in my personal life, my Truck with 310,000 Original miles on the motor finally had a major mechanical issue. I feel like a pet died or something, but on a good note, it is something that is repairable and has to do with a known failure from the manufacturer. A spark plug blew out of its threads due to the manufacturer making the head with only 4 maybe 4 1/2 threads to hold the spark plug. So 2020 truly has been interesting to say the least. I am pretty confident that my truck will be back on the road soon without any major damage, just like I am pretty confident that the STEEM Blockchain is well looked after and will remain running for many many more STEEM miles.

This question is now for ALL OUR PRIOR SPUD SPONSORS......

to SPUD or NOT to SPUD........?

I have heard from one prior SPONSOR but I ask again one more time now that I believe things will remain the Status Quo for now.

Thank you.

ps... @drutter's project M.A.P. to bring water to a family in Venezuela is almost complete. I believe it is around 70%+ complete, and with your further support will probably be at over 80% real soon! Please help support! Thank you.
