Spotted the error?
Reminds me of a well known car brand.
Bring in the balloons!
Yes it states flowers, as in those who go with the flow, you know? Even forgot to celebrate my second year being active on the Steem blockchain. But things have passed and wend by so quickly. Also I have a short attention span when something starts to become repetitive. For some or the other reason though I can be extremely focussed on one thing for a long time. To such a point where I do not even pay attention to what is happening around me. Even get annoyed when someone or something distracts me.
Anyway, never mind the bollocks, did you know though that the sex-pistols song "Doge made it clean." {Making sure I do not get flagging censored here.} got banned and still sold 200.000 copies in its first week after its release? Weird thing was that it did not make it to number 1 in the charts. Instead it got stuck at 2. Which is a kind of ironic if that bothered people. As punx did not give a shait, or were not supposed too.
There was also the mistake of punk, the fashion for young rebels, being thought to be anarchism. Like it is still being linked to chaos by mainstream media. Yet chaos leads to a new order comming in, supposed to safe us from all the disorder. Malcolm McLaren {Not the car brand I was hinting at, it was Porsche, thanks sponsor for my new car.} made it all up, that punk thing. And the power of mainstream media did the rest.
Party on, punx dead.
Great achievement, sure, almost at 10.000 posts. Did you notice a slightly cynical undertone so far then well spotted. Yes, true, I am way passed the point where I was fully dedicated to posting, curating and replying. Sorry, but you know it is my short attention span that kicked in again after the ultra-focus I had on Steem. That may have lasted for months, it was a blast though, back then.
Chaos can even be created with the intention to establish a new order. Create violence and destruction, divide people and then rule over them. At some point, in the beginning of Steem I thought there was room to explore something else than massmedia and politics was dictating. Writing about why those narcistic phychos believe they are supposed to be our leaders and have a lot of people believe that is true. While history just was repeating itself, only slightly changed.
Time flew by my window.
Wanted to write about the essence of being. A bit more phylosofical approach. Building on things like non-time-space as a factor that has been left out too many times. That would mean we'd have to deal with things like non-lightspeed, or rather, the ZERO reality. That would make up some interesting subject, well I did think so, yet I had a change of heart. And then, before I knew it, I was writing about Cryptos instead.
Cryptos, to me, related to anarchism. Except for utter bull like Cripple and Buttcrap Crash, that was Crapitalism getting its business in, with its banking monetary governance system. And then it is all about making profits. Yeah sure, buy some stock of the weapon industry too, while you are at it, heard you can make a real profit on the war machine, it's a killing business, good for the economical growth right... Sure, I was disappointed when I noticed that kind of thing seemed to take over Steem too. Again, the cynism here is a self proclaimed art, how arrogant bastardly of me. If Malcholm "Two Buffalo Girls" McLaren can create a fashion tupperware called punk, than anybody could create cynism as an artform. Spreading it like a disease.
Still here, by free choice.
Yes, things have changed for Steem too. At one point it was this self rewarding decentralized freedom of speech platform. Now, if you want to know what it became, that is defined by the trending page and the reward pool draining bots. Something I am also supposed to hush about, as some bot owners got angry, because their service does not drain at all, according to them. Sure, if you just claim that aggressively enough people would not dare to oppose it. And hey, do send me free Steem with that resteem advertising crap. It adds nicely to my SP.
"Ow, this is a kind of grumpy, is it not? Should you not be celebrating 3000 followers?", should, must, have to, it is a kind of the opposite of what I just wrote. Heck, I might even abuse the fun tag! Because who is to decide if anybody thought this was any fun at all? Yes, I even agree that everybody is free to be a knob now and then, or even a total one all of the time, me included. As freedom is to be experienced by its limits. While acting as if there are no borders is just creating chaos and that would only lead to a new order being formed.
Thanks anyway.
For still reading this all the way too here. And if you disagree with me, even if for a tiny part, I salute you. Do you like XRP and BCH? Well, many others do, it does not make them right, nor does my opinion about those scam Cryptos. It is my freedom of expression that I did use in this post, to be locked into the Steem blockchain. Even though I can argue why those ones are evil, it is still as it is believed from my paradigm. And that is something I still like about something like Steem. It gives an open and free insight into other fellow humans their paradigm. To some extend some added to mine or made mine shift and even tilt a bit over time.
So to you who: gave me all those different insights, showed me art, teached me some new things, stirred in my emotions, made me laugh, made my eyes a bit watery, proved me either wrong or right or just made me aware of this beautifull thing called life, I say: "Thank you!".
