Great call out. Just set you as my witness voting proxy!
I have some additional observations that are worth thinking about but many people are not going to like them at all..
I have been studying symbolism for a very long time since it is a hidden language that is used by the elite to communicate to each other without the masses understanding it. It's like gang signs or dog piss for elite secret society members.
If you haven't thought about it, "Steem" is a very weird name for a platform. Why would they call it that? If however you have a look at the meaning of the word "steem" at Wiktionary here, you realize that "steem" means both "A gleam of light; a flame" and "value." This is a typical luciferian word game since Lucifer means "light bearer" and many hidden symbols of Lucifer have him/her (Lucifer is represented with both genders) holding a flame - think Columbia pictures, think the Statue of Liberty, think of the Victoria Memorial directly in front of Buckingham Palace. They are all flame holders / light bearers. They hide this shit in plain sight. I don't think Steem is any different.
I am also going to point out a "heresy" for most steemians. No one will ask serious questions about the Steem founders - Ned Scott and Dan Larimer (son of Stan Larimer - a military industrial complex engineer). Steemit is headquartered in Virginia (gee who else is headquartered in Virginia?), and Dan is now working on the next very strangely name project called "EOS." If you want to know what EOS means, you need to be willing to go down the rabbit hole. I've written a post about it previously here and highly suggest that you have a read. In the meantime, I'll leave you a clue below:
I'm simply raising questions here, since I am not sure how all these "coincidences" fully tie together yet and who is/are the main influencers of them. Needless to say, they don't really paint the nicest picture after now also adding in the above comment made by the Steemit tech manager Sneek.
