RE: AskHive: What are you doing with your Steem?

in #askhive4 years ago (edited)

My Steem story is a little complicated ... I had a goodly amount of liquid Steem piled up and pulled all of that to Hive, but I left 1,000 SP delegated to @project.hope, which has been LITERALLY feeding people in Venezuela with Steem. I left that one curation trail on as well. I feel like in the struggle with Justin Sun, people overlooked the fact that real people depend on Steem and have very little else in terms of a lifeline -- the switch to Hive is going to take some time for all exchanges. So, that I will leave in place as long as @project.hope runs on Steem as well as Hive. That decision left me relatively little to power down, and a tiny bit of Steem/SP coming in as well. Now that @blocktrades is no longer supporting Steem, and provided my account is not frozen, I probably will use @ionomy to keep pulling liquid Steem off weekly, and wait and see on the rest...

I feel safe on Hive. I am one of those people who can put their head down and get through difficulties, but the vibe on Steemit toward the end was truly poisonous. People are hopeful here, and the proverbial air is fresh -- it's a relief in the tragedy of this pandemic. I'm happy to be here in a way I could never be on Steem, which was dying in the minds of many even when I arrived a year ago (although I think Steem may surprise many).
