RE: Are we back to the chain?

I see you continue to cross post from Steem to Hive. I'm pretty much just staying on Hive personally.

I'm curious though as to whether you get more upvotes or rewards on Steem than Hive. I suppose I could just look for myself, what with the public ledger, but it seems more fun and engaging to leave a comment.

I also saw you mention digital gold. Not going to lie, my first thought was that's not bitcoin. At risk of prying further into your personal affairs, I wonder whether you've ever actually cashed-out your blogging crypto so to speak. Like have you ever traded it for bitcoin or used it to buy anything not Steem related?

I haven't earned enough to cash-out myself, but there are tons of reasons one might not. Whether it be for market reasons with price swings or just because one plans to stay fully invested into Steem/Hive I don't think one necessarily must translate rewards here into wider usage. Still it seems to me that it kind of doesn't really count as wealth per se until one does do so.

Feel free not to respond to the finer points I make if you think I've overstepped. Either way it ought to be some food for thought and provide a modicum of engagement for you.

As far as your titular question, I'd humbly submit a resounding maybe.

Stay safe out there.
