 Wow. So, the very much anticipated Velocity Hard Fork 20 has finally come and gone. Kudos to Steem Inc. and the team of witnesses who have made the fork quite successful. Although the activities on the STEEM blockchain have largely declined over the past few days due to the bugs that came with the fork, return to former glory is already within reach. I understand that a number of Steemians are presently frustrated because of the overnight, sharp decline of our voting powers. I understand that there are new updates from the fork that still sound strange to a number of people. I understand that many have been compelled to embark on sabbatical because of the low activities happening right now. But, remember that nothing good comes easy. These are sacrifices we have to pay to have a more robust blockchain for our own good. No doubt, the HF20 has left several updates in its wake. Nevertheless, I am most excited by the fact that new users can now be signed up to the STEEM blockchain by any user who possess a decent amount of Mana. I am so excited about the above development because it has been my concern since I joined Steemit in the fall of December 2017. Then, I had to wait for almost three weeks before my account was validated. I even have a few friends who never go validated after signing up. Obviously, the old sign up process was tortuous and frustrating. Well, I am glad that a new dawn is now upon us. Certainly, this new arrangement has decentralized the sign up process and will double the number of active users on the STEEM blockchain in the next few months. The HF20, I believe, has laid a foundation for Steemit to become a mainstream social media site with millions of potential users. Now, you see why I am so excited? ### <center>SUPPORT CORNER</center> <div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRpey6mPH4DaNncX9fEkXA7cdXsHzSXK18v9Y9FUYTyoF/image.png</div> **Kindly follow the peerless vocabulary lessons delivered by @majes.tytyty and get rewarded with some upvotes for your participation.** --- ### <center>Are you a minnow and you're already thinking of giving up on Steemit?
