On a finishing note, here's one of the most, if not the most profound thing I've ever heard. It's from Dan Larimer. Dan Larimer is Steem chief technology officer and founder of Bitshares. I feel like everyone would greatly benefit from reading or listening to this quote. I've reposted this quote in a couple of my posts already and a lot of people know about it because of this, but I feel like as long as wars or the potential for war exist, then this quote merits a bigger place in our minds and the same is true for Steem and how as a collective group we can use Steem to fulfill the vision its creator have in mind. Wow! Steem you're making me write things that make me feel so good! Thank you and as for you guys keep on Steeming!
