Happy Birthday to You! I hope you enjoyed your day in spite of the Steem Drama.
I still have 3 weeks and 4 days left to finish my power down, so even the 4 week PD requirement doesn't affect me.
I listened to Argoed's Town Hall on the matter, but in a pretty distracted way. To me, Steem died on the day of the first HF, and that has only gotten worse. This is complete lunacy, and I hope the chain doesn't seize for another 4 weeks.
Ahhhhh. Still, Happy Birthday and remember the two events are not in any way connected.
