I completely understand what your getting at @oldtimer. If you check above I left a comment as to why I think (just a guess really) @blocktrades is powering down right now.

Because we are fighting a tron bot 🤖 army there are many effective strategies that we could deploy to derail all tron efforts... not all of which can be executed on chain. We have a war on the exchanges as well at the moment and someone has to set those guys straight. But it has to be done in such a way as to not let the cat (or acorn! 😹) out of the bag so to speak!

By the way! A BIG, “Hello!” from another fellow Edmonton dweller! I poked around and followed your blog!

So I’m curious! Do we have any Steem Meetups here in Edmonton? I would so show up to those... in fact, personal trainer that I am, I have been considering organizing a couple pop up fitness/Steem events in the area... figured it might be fun to meet people and get the word out about the Steem Blockchain. 😺
