I love the life on the free Odessan beaches west of the city. People in their whole
slavic multitude seem to live there, rather than just coming by for some leisure. Within
a few minutes I got to know an extremly forthcoming young crowd; during the next days
they showed me a lot of hidden places all around town.

On another note: How do you enjoy #newsteem, after the last hardforks?
For me it's quite a wild ride; attention (as well as rewards) seems to have dropped,
but every now and then a bigger account drops by. Flagging is way up and trending
starts to look interesting. Price is still low.

It made me realize the length of my path up till now: I came here for the promise of profit, early adopter, investor and all. But those are BY FAR not the reasons anymore (as this would be
ridicolous!). Now I'm here as a training in continuity of posting; for those few of you who read
this; and first and foremost: To watch this experiment and it's social and political dimensions
unfold (or fold up).

Even though sometimes I'm really pissed
at the way some things are going I am still here .
