Believe it or not it’s been already 5 consecutive days on which STEEM presents positive numbers in terms of price…
Of course I am speaking about the STEEM/BTC pair. The STEEM/USD pair is not bad neither but it is affected by the correction of BITCOIN.
What is interesting to see is that, both, the 50 and the 200 Daily Moving Average are now holding STEEM more solidly than ever and it is trying to break a known resistance right now, on a time not specially good for BITCOIN…
I really think we touched the bottom already on December, the problem is that there is an excess of STEEM available at the market due, mainly, by the major transfers performed by STEEMIT INC during the past months, some of them were really massive… in particular during early this year, and according to what I have extracted from the data obtained at Steemworld, STEEMIT did in a couple of months transfers to alternative accounts which withdraw STEEM to the exchanges in enormous quantities (millions of STEEM)…
So, even if STEEM has done the bottom there, the amount of available STEEM at Bittrex, Binance, Huobi etc… highly exceed the demand of the buyers…
Lately, STEEMIT has decreased the amount of coins transferred to the Exchanges…
We are speaking about a huge change from a few Millions to less than 1 Million of STEEM… this are very good news for everybody.
Hope they can maintain this withdrawal level in order for STEEM to recover a little bit its price… we deserve it as well.
I recently bought this ‘Goose’ off ebay, specifically to shoot with fuji fp-100c instant film. You may have read in 1 of my previous posts, i bought a M.P.P. 5 x 4 Inch film camera to shoot fuji instant. Unfortunately i had not anticipated how bad my arthritis in my wrists would affect me with such a big camera. I found i was struggling to use it so i decided to go for the polaroid.
Polaroid 600 SE professional is based on the Mamiya Universal/Press. And has an interchangeable Mamiya lens with inbuilt seiko shutter. It is a view/rangefinder camera, so you are not seeing exactly what you get on the film, although so far i’ve found the view/rangefinder to be pretty accurate and reliable. Still a bit on the heavy side but far lighter and easier to handle than the M.P.P.
Even though you can hand hold it, its still really a tripod camera, as you have to set everything on the lens, which means you have to look at the lens to set shutter speed, aperture and cock the shutter.
I love the unique aesthetic quality of instant films like polaroid or in this case fuji, or as i like to call it fujiroid lol. This is an old pack that was in the camera and had become slightly warped in the pack, which may have caused the unique edging. This type of film can also be used to do an image transfer, where you peel apart the film after a short development time and transfer the image onto watercolour paper. There is also the emulsion lift technique where you can float the emulsion off the print and lay it onto other mediums such as paper, wood, metal, glass etc.

Still a light downtrend on the number of daily posts and active users at the STEEM blockchain. According to STEEMTOOL we ended the week with 5029 daily active steemians that posted around 7923 posts a day…
The situation is not dramatic at all but still worrying… However, I am fully confident that if the crypto market keeps growing, we will see a massive entry of newcomers and also people who has left trying to join again in the platform .
This week I have found @aleksandra.mart as a very good and motivated steemian to follow. She is a beautiful Russian Lady that has passed a week or so visiting Barcelona, my city, and she has published some good content about it.
I think she has a very interesting arts related blog so I think she has very good skills for becoming a great steemian.
Besides @aleksandra.mart, this week I am going to provide my @steembasicincome shares to@javirid and @himalayanwomb.
@javirid is an old fellow steemian who is now working on a new DApp developed on top of the STEEM blockchain. According to some comments I have read from him, his intention is to launch the DApp by the end of the month but, honestly, I am not sure which kind of DApp… Hope we can read more about in the coming days but as I know @javirid , I am sure it is going to be something good.
It is not the first time I shared some @SBI with @himalayanwomb but man, he really deserves it. He is not the typical runner who you can find in any city or town. He is a High-altitude Runner who used to train at the Himalaya!!

Peregrins first bred in the spire in 2015 using a nest box made at the University of Sheffield , A new box was then installed in the autumn of 2015 and a camera fitted to watch into the box. In 2018 an extra camera was fitted to watch from the side overlooking the east parapet allowing observation of the birds leaving and entering the nest.

Busy day at the office today so I couldn’t dedicate what I used to on STEEM and other crypto matters… so I arrived home, I switched on the computer and I saw this at Steemworld:
Rapidly, I checked my FEED and I realized that nothing new was recorded since long…weird…
Then I went to Stateothedapps I filtered by STEEM Platform and I get this:
yes man, all the DApps based on STEEM are showing very low user activity today, a drastic drop I would say…
What’s going on here?
Did I miss anything important?
Is HF21 is on going?
Half of the Steem active population died?
is it because the market correction is affecting all of us?

Im a huge boxing fan. Been paying attention to the heavy division for as long as i can remember. Even during its low days. Above all boxers ive been a fan of Tyson Fury. Wilder is a big puncher, Joshua is a fine looking chap but in the end your boxing skill is what matters.
I used to be a basketball player and during that time i had a number of guys telling me i should try out boxing. Being 6ft5 i had a fairly long reach and i was fairly athletic at the time. At the time lol. At amateur levels height, reach and athleticism were huge advantages. But i never could stomach it. Even if i could avoid 99% of the punches, even if i could beat the crap out of the other guy i knew i could still get clipped and that never feels nice.
I considered it for a while, but getting into it until one faithful evening in Zagreb during my college days when some retard got kicked out of a club, climbed up on the fence and started flailing around, changed my mind. If i explained his reasoning (No explanation, he was a retard) its because im from Split and i lived in Zagreb (im actually born there) and the football clubs from each city hate each other. Its dumb but whatever. Anyways..
This guy gets pissed because he is kicked from the club during the “Split nights” in “Roko and Akademija” (club name) and starts flailing and clips me on the nose. Ive had a few to drink so i literally dont feel it. Well, i do kind of.
I feel my face getting warmer, being from a warmer climate, never before experiencing sub-zero temperatures, blood surging into my nose. I turn around and by friends are looking at me like what the hell is going on. Im completely clueless, blood pouring down my face.. It was december and i had this nice black Cashmere coat my father gave me and i see blood pouring over it.
Holly crap!
Once i realized what was happening my roommate has already jumped over the fence, he is fighting 3 of the guys there, the rest of us running out, the bouncers not letting us leave, hes throwing rocks, fighting …. and thats when i realize that boxing wasnt really for me. haha
I could toss all those little fuckers half across the parking lot, squish their little faces, but i just wasnt crazy enough to slap the bouncer and jump across the fence and pick a fight with 3 other guys that could have had guns, knives, etc. My roommate was that kind of guy. But then again my roommate was the kind of guy to drive a BMW backward 80 km/h, on the freeway drunk after his prom. Crazy fucking guy. lol.
But its those situations that make you realize what you want in life…
Funny story…
Afterwards we took the tram back to our apartment and we were sitting there, my roommate face completely bloody, he cut his hand during the fight and he smeared his face in blood as war paint (i shit you not). The blood dried off, and a cute girl was sitting in 3 am, looked at him, in a empty tram back to “Borongaj” (@runicar will know haha) and he did the Croatian equivalent of the Joey pick up line:
How you doin?
I laugh out loud at that image, whenever i think about it. haha
What was i on about????
Lol. Boxing. The upset that happened. YES!!!
Joshua looked like that guy that doesnt have that killer instinct. That doesnt have something to prove. My roommate was a flimsy guy, skinny, but he always had something to prove.
In my moment, i didnt have that drive so i knew fighting wasnt for me. But Ruiz like my roommate wanted to prove something. He wanted “it”, he would do anything to get it and he did. He won over the current most dominant champ with his flabby gut and short stature.
Just goes to show you that all you need is will…
And that is it. It seems NIKE was right. “Just do it!”. lol. Weird world we live in. But thats what makes it interesting.
Ofc, Joshua is going to KO him in the first round next time around, but thats not the point. lol
So… Voice launched and the dreaded MEOS turned into a fail… Theres a saying in Croatia:
Tresla se brda rodio se miš.
Thats how i feel here. From all this hype all we end up with is nothing at all. A ERC20 idea similar to MINDS that will amount to nothing. Everyone is targeting STEEM because STEEM is the only platform that has mainstream appeal. During the ATH STEEMIT was a top 800 website in the world. That is something no other blockchain has come close to achieving.
You can fool a stupid investor to drop a few hundred k on a hyped project but you cant force a large number of people to buy into an idea just because you spent money on it. The mainstream doesnt care about your RAM and cryptokitties.
Steem ofc has its problems, many of them, one of them abusive SP holders, the other vote buyers and sellers but the price of steem will always recover because among the abusers there will always be a few of those with a lot of SP that care about Steem succeeding.
For every Bernie, FTG, Haejin, Chbartist, Fyrst there is a Theycallmedan, Acidyo, Blocktrades, etc… The platform doesnt have to be perfection, it only ever has to have decent folks on it to counter the abusers, not in votes, but rather in example.
Maybe we all just have this idea in our head that STEEM either has to be perfect or it fails… I dont believe that… There will always be those that abuse the system because the system itself is not perfect and it cannot ever be perfect. Human nature is in the way.
How well our platform does is on all of us. It doesnt matter that you can make more from bots, it doesnt matter that you can make more from circle jerks, self voting..etc.. What matters is what kind of person you are.
An “abuser” will always find a justification for acting like a “abuser”. A decent person doesnt need a justification to be decent.
