RE: DPOS, 35 Whales and Burn-out
I also joked about how adopting cryptocurrency doesn't change human nature and I also found that pointing that out didn't go over very well. lol
Well here we are a handful of survivors of the 3 years. I don't regret anything, I loved the social experiment and I learned a ton, made some friends, etc. Recently I find I've been talking about it in the past tense without really ever making a conscious decision.
Well, I'm not quite in the past tense yet... but I am doing somewhat on a re-org on how I am going to be using this. This will include giving a lot more effort to my "alts", one for my artwork, one for my wife's non-profit organization... and they'll simply be one part of a broader social media mix.
Don't get me wrong, I still love blogging... but in another 45 days or so (when our store closes), I will simply not be able to afford spending time doing this.
The analogy I used to use a lot (about the Steemit "establishment") is that they built a Ferrari in their garage... but they are living in a small town in Alaska with no paved roads... and they keep fine tuning and rebuilding the engine... while belittling and ridiculing anyone who suggests we should call a transport company to get the wretched thing down somewhere with some ROADS.
OMG this is a great analogy for what is going on here! I might modify it by saying they built a Ferrari engine, but didn't bother making the body look nice, and haven't spent any time making sure driving it is actually a good experience. They just know it's fast and powerful as hell and keep tweaking it to make it even better in those areas while ignoring the fact that it's incredibly hard to drive.
I love the analogy! 100 percent just for that alone. :)
I don't code and I've never considered myself a blogger, so I just don't see the path forward yet. I'm not fully crossing it off my list, but I will just see what draws me. Or... Doesn't.
