# Community


There has been a lot of drama around this place, and not only recently in regardss to Justin and his malicious attempts on centralizing the chain, rather constantly in one shape or another. This place is wierd as fuck hahaha.


Yet again, i can't get enough of it and probably never will. One might argue its all about the money, but if you are sane enough you will manage to see that few buck weekly aint something to bragg about.



What kept me around this place is somewhat obvious since steem hasn't been the most lucrative deal i made - quite contrary. 

However, i have learned a lot, gained a lot of different perspectives on how to think out side what is considered to be "normal" and seemingly developed an interest towards decentralized economy and blockchain utility. 

Steem truly is the best way to start your crypto journey - trust me on this one.

Last couple of days actually showed we are not here to fuck around as whole community stood up and fought against centralization. It may seem irrelevant, but if you allow yourself to think a bit deeper, you will start realizing how important this fight truly is - on a global scale.

Despite the fact i wanted to avoid talking about Justin it seems impossible. Hard times arw what make us stronger and more resistant, thankfully we had bunch of them which. I can't think of any other community that would stay true towards something that is constantly being tested, internaly or externally - which is the case with steem.

Steem has been tested at least 20 times since my arrival and  the funny thing is that I'm feeling more bullish than ever. 

I'm impressed with what i saw so far, commumity wise of course. My twitter is literally full of steemians acting as one, constantly pressuring the exchanges to power down their stake and let us govern OUR chain. The reach and support we gain is equaly important as it broadcasted the message of how important it is to have so much people sharing the same passion.


The most irritating and annoying part is that in so called "decentralized world", centralized tendencies are even  stronger if compared to traditional one. 

I don't even want to comment on Justin articles and tweets in which he likes using big words such as decentralization and blockchain while doing everything in his power to disrupt those ideologies. What a moron.

No wonder why whole original steemit,inc team resigned - thank you for that. 

The whole point of this article is to let outsiders know that we truly have awesome community that is willing to do what ever it takes to make this thing work.

Would like to thank all of you who participated and remained highly active on twitter and discord in order to show the resistanse and general will.

Regardless of how it plays out, will follow the fundmental philosophy of our ecosystem. 

Upcoming days are going to be crucial and we need to continue on acting as one, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. After all the shit we went through this one will earn us a fucking trophy. Keep up that Hustle!!

It would be beneficial for us if we all start to share the reasons why we're passionate about steem. 

We will gain a lot of deserved attention!

Cheers
