Where is the Love in the Hard Fork?

avatar

So, where is the love, I ask? It is hidden from view? Must I send out a search, shall I just call a hearse, doing the needful and declaring it gone? Is there any hope to revive or will it cease to survive? You tell me, you all-knowing you. Will there be life as I know it after Hard Fork 21?


The intrusion of a sleepless night
Drifting thoughts
Remnant scents
You and me
Tangled sheets

There has been strife in my sleep of late
Waiting on things for the better, null and void-ish
In other words, negate
What can I do when I feel unloved
Unvoted, unsteemed, and not even read
Is there something needed, to get ready for this
The very next step in my early dismiss?
Please advise, I'll wait
Respectfully yours


The loss of steem, that could have been mine
Leaves me nearly breathless
Almost
Every
Single
Time

How was I, so blind to miss all the signs, staring at me,
Looking me right in the face
Now I can see it all so clear, the moment I stopped to hear
The sounds of Sunday
Tolling in my ear



Just like that, these words are done. Happy #MonochromeMonday to all as we start into another beautiful week! Keep on Steemin!

Those who know me, know I am only poking fun! Looking forward to the big party tomorrow!! Woo-hoo! Let's keep it classy, people!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again. Keep it classy, people. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

warsan shire

I have no clue... but I fail to see how increasing the rewards for the whales and reducing them for everyone else will make the already ridiculous user retention rate improve.

I think it will be even worse, as most newbies will simply give up. And why shouldn't them? No one likes to work for breadcrumbs, which is what the whales seem to expect everyone (but themselves) needs to do.

Now, if only people would stop voting for such egotistical witnesses...

We'll see what happens. In my personal view, I'll do what I do either here or somewhere else, and no where else I look has any form of reward at all, so it's nice to be tipped. And the people I get to interact with here are pretty awesome too.

Looking forward to a good hard-forking tomorrow!

Truth! I like it here, money or not. The rewards that are paid? Honestly, you can be a greeter at Walmart of two hours a week.

Looking forward to it!

Lots of gloom and doom talk about this hardcore for sure, but for me its the integration with people that makes people special, and even if our rewards do drop as they no doubt will they way I see the rewards are higher that you get on Farcebook 0.00 or anywhere else

I have said it before and will say it again I will only leave this platform if I am the last one here and have to turn the lights out whenI leave LOL

The rewards are 0.00 on Facebook, but not on anywhere else.
If you make a good blog with Adsense and with proper audience, then you certainly can earn better rewards than on Facebook. Even if you don't post anything for months, because the blog posts are earning money continuously, not just/only until 7 days from the date of posting.

LOL, well I read the post. 😄 My income as of over a year here is pretty dead, if I were to be counting on this for even extra change I would had starved to death! 😅 I’m not even sweating what happens with the new update (not even elaborating on why). So nope not giving my two cents, I wish to remain happy. 😉

Mucha gente publica en español. ¡Deberías probarlo! También pon el inglés en un traductor de Google. Funciona bien y a veces es confuso, pero en su mayor parte, ayuda un poco.

Stick a hard fork in it, its over.

But...

Well have no fear, my dear.
When Dan has Voice going,
The choice will be clear.
Better days will appear,
Filled with fun and much good cheer!

Keep smiling that wonderful smile Sunshine, our best days are surely ahead.

@dswigle & @old-guy-photos,

Denise, the Ol' Guy has been holding out on us!

Alas, respecting STEEM/Steemit, I'm afraid I have to agree with the Ol' Guy ... STEEM/Steemit is finished. Hard Fork 21 does nothing more than re-arrange the deckchairs while ignoring the great gaping hole in the hull.

They just won't institute rules that would stop everyone from cheating ... including themselves. They will ride this thing straight into the ground while continuing to yap about "Freedom." The "freedom to cheat" is not one which any sane person would be willing to fight.

Guys, keep your crew together. When Voice launches, we'll re-assemble our networks over there.

That is the plan I have in mind. I blog/vlog because I like to, but there is no way I am going to be coerced into buying votes just to see any rewards. Not only are they in effect going to send people to Voice, now with HF21 Stinc is going roll out the red carpet for us as we leave.

I think the hard fork is a horrible idea. Why not give the smaller SP accounts more? Why help the whales and they have no problem earning? I think this will make some people leave the platform. Folks like myself struggle to earn no matter what we do and try. Now Steemit makes it harder for us

Tomorrow, we will learn new rules, and the next circle will start. Sometimes any changes are better than a stillness.

Yes, truly sweet 🤗
I am hard ... resting :) We went to the sea hoping it would be nice there now, but the tempetature +36, and I feel like salt is everywhere, even in the air. I am all of salt.
It's not too convenient to search steem from smartphone, but when I back home Im gonna read a bit more about hf21 and the first user experience, so probably I'll be one of those nerds you wrote about (who know everything). LOL
And until then, I don't give up and power up ;)

An interesting experiment this has become. Living in an economy where people with more money get to decide how future income will be distributed. I think I know which way the ball will continue to roll.

This is why I'm not yet willing to invest my own money into Steem. I need proof that hard work, loyalty, and honesty has value. Everyone has different ideas on what they think is fair. Those my mine.

Point taken. I know people all have different ways of looking at it, but, there is no lie in what most are saying. I am just going to sit and wait and see how it plays out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
