This is a very tumultuous time for the world in terms of the pandemic affecting us all. And in the midst of this, we are seeing a REVOLUTION of the power of COMMUNITY.

There was a big uproar in the beginning when the witnesses took the step to freeze out the ninja mined stake of Steemit Inc. Was it ethical to do that? Well, the ensuing events seem to uphold their decision because where would be today if it had not been done? In my opinion, the puppet sock witnesses would have been put in place and the change in power-down time would have gone through, allowing all the STEEM to be raped and the blockchain left in shambles. Of course, this is my own opinion.

But the community rallied first with crushing Sun's plans by replacing the witnesses. This was the first indication of the power of the community. I'm sure this was in no way imagined to be possible by Sun, who really had no idea what he was getting himself into with his purchase.

HIVE is a new hope for us, the community who has been here working and building a place and stake. I'm very excited to be migrating there and taking part in the improvements and building of an even better community blockchain. We can do this! It's great to be a part of being the "little guy" fighting off the greed and the unmitigated audicity of someone thinking they can just come in and wreck our home.

Hope to see you there - HIVE - JOIN THE REVOLUTION!!
