The blockchain is just a better version of the internet, fast cheaper and more reliable.

That's one of the best descriptions of the blockchain that I've read by now. Regarding your decision to buy 250,000 Steem I can only say it's huge for me and it's definitely a sign of faith in the platform, faith in yourself as a blogger and active user on Steemit and faith in Steem, the token, as a financial investment. Plus, I can't even imagine how much is worth one upvote of yours, but the ones getting it will definitely thank you. As a personal opinion regarding your investment, which I will say again that for me is huge even at the current price, I will definitely use that Steem Power to manual curate rather than delegating to bid bots. I don't hate them, but I am not a fan either. I grew my account better without them than when I used them and probably that's why I am biased towards not using them.

Keep up with the good work! Funny thing that just yesterday I was scrolling through the witness list and wondered to whom should I give my next vote as I still have 21 left and now I know. @guiltyparties will get it. You don't find people eager to help that much nowadays.
