You are right. It has been obvious longer than I have been in denial.

The kids are not happy with me.

The grown ups are not happy with me.

I have tried every angle of steem promotion I could think of, charity, teaching, party promotion, business creation, tool explanation, and all I have to show for it is a blog that can not download because it is overflowing with negativity/sadness. No wonder the greater steem community only downvotes me.

I give up.

At least I have an answer to the question:

“why has dimimp not replied”

answer:

because he quit

I sincerely apologize. I only wanted to bring positivity. You may still experience a rise in your cash balance in your wallets after I go, and for that I apologize even more sincerely, because I still feel selfishly obligated to pay my debts even if it brings eternal sadness to you and all of mankind (unless you publicly relieve me of my debt obligation in order to preserve your happiness and make the world a happy place again).

You are exactly right.

It is only YOU who can bring happiness to this world, not me.

Which path will you choose?

Don't you all see it?

The value of steem relative to the chessboard of true blockchains is crumbling. If you are not taking what I am giving you and investing it in the chessboard then I will. Why party when the best investment opportunity of a lifetime is now or never, and yes, we are already in steem, but it is foolish to believe that steem is a true deflationary currency which is the true value of t he space. The store of value space which is branched off with currency wings like the chessboard of deflationary currencies with slow distribution ASIC powered beaning hard to crack security in an insecure online world. This is all I say. It is no time to play. My outside life is a complete disaster, and I am giving you the opportunity to get out first before I do. December is contract expiration for most of you and daddy needs a pair of shoes that aint killin his feet. I live in pain, but so does everybody, in some shape or form that is very importatnt to them. I am glad to help, but if you received funds, then that counts towards your Space force rank. The party is over, and if any of you think that doing anything with the cash I sent you besides investing it in the most promising future limited quantity truly unique and scarce digital assets, then I am going to have to do it for the community, because I am going to use our research to our advantage. You kids are now the teachers, you have learned all you need to know if you want to play 3D chess. The rest is bs

If you ever received steem from me, then that's your prize, SF whatever you want to call it, but the true value here is this steem which can be transferred into real deflationary currencies which is what bitcoin is, and if you cant buy more bitcoin because you are all in steem crazy like then we need to be smart and not party. If I knew that steem would have this hard time rising against deflationary currencies during the last bull market was foolish of me once, and will not be the second time.

A few hundres dont move mountains like it used to, so we will be smart andwait and invest in chess. Be grateful you have a delegation because if you think that those times were tough.

The art contests are nearly paid, your prize was the sum total of all the contests. After this week, all little payouts will be caught up and then a couple more power downs for big payouts which look incredible by the way, and the budget is now officially busted, go see samuel9135 for dance party if you feel like it, and keep creating if you want but I am taking a couple power downs and investing in chess, my time is mine. And post all you want as the upvotes will continue to flow until the price is too low to bring in any more traffic. Do I care what any of you do with the money, I really don't care if you invested or partied, but I sure had a fun time over summer. Again, I'm letting the upvotes and cashflow speak for me. Who isnt online all the time now, its the coolest but scariest thing to do, its not Ned's fault because the emmission/commission design is not his fault. Steem is great tool, but not deflationary currency, but so what, it is still useful to nearly most everyone. I will give one more week for last call for cash outs for any remaining delegations. If you do not have a delegation then you were "cashed out" when you received cash last
