that is about 45x 300-page novels
(Comments likely add about another 25x 300-page novels)
And I don't have a nonsense signature of 300 words...

That was my signature for the last three years, with little variation. It didn't speak about me being the first here, as I wasn't, I came at the start of 2017. It was that everything I posted on Steem was original, mine - with very little exception.

My aim was to pay for baby formula. It didn't happen. Instead, I looked to invest into the new economy through sweat equity, which happened to a point. At the moment, the value of 3 years of my work is in the hands of others and I have very little control over where it goes, *to the gutter or the stars.*

It is what it is. I have accepted a zero outcome for some time and even though it has increased in likelihood, I have kept producing as best I can daily. At some point, everything I have worked on will be copied and moved to another blockchain and while my content will survive, I will have to begin again in so many other areas. A lot of people have been waiting for this opportunity, I know how much work it takes. 

But, there is what we can control, what we can influence and what is beyond our reach. Much of what happens on the blockchain is beyond my reach, a fraction of it I may influence and that only happens through controlling myself as completely as I can.

>That includes my feelings.

We each have the cards we are dealt, it is up to us how we play them. Some people will be glad they didn't put the effort into something that will likely fail. I am glad that I did put the effort in, even if it fails.

*It might all be meaningless, other than the meaning we each apply it.*
