Nothing Better Out There - Back Again!!

Oh! My God! It has been three years since I've posted on Steemit! I'm sorry! And I hope to make that apology mean something, by producing a lot of written (and maybe other) joy (unless it's tragic).

I've been distracted by trying to fit in with normal! I even signed up to FB again (only for business and stalking). I've been trying to fit in with a structure that serves corporate culture and hooks into constant scrolling. I self-censor by not posting personal content, only crypto news on a page I manage for some folks who still battle with browser tabs. And I will keep doing that for the love of humanity trying to avoid scams.

I've been pretending to write, producing a few articles on Medium, wondering if I'll get claps or a few dollars. I haven't been successful, but then I've been working for the 'family business', teaching English online, attempting to grow cannabis and educate myself. Today I thought I should just make sure that I've done everything correctly so Medium could pay me. Yeah, right! They couldn't pay me even if they wanted to, unless I create a business in the US. 

That's overkill when we have crypto!

So, today, I rediscovered Steemit! I searched many alternatives. Nothing comes close! 

Here's what convinced me to embrace Steemit again:

• crypto & blockchain - the infrastructure is pioneering
• the community rewards you for content, not some central algorithm 
• you're rewarded for commenting - encouraging community
• decentralization - we've really had enough of central authorities
• downvoting - the community polices itself
• dapps - I need some education here (I've noticed a lot of references to dapps on the steemit blockchain)
• continual development
• galaxies of like-minded beings
