if it is EOS, this means Dan Larimer is screwing us together with his markymark companions

A lot of things going on on blockchains. And there are other new ones soaring high.
Steem blockchain is quite slow, it started April 2016 but still struggling at Rank 59 on CoinMarketCap.
EOS started July 2017 and now it ranks #6, it even reach Rank 4 for the past weeks I guess.

I don't know why steem blockchain is very slow to develop.

First look at the top witnesses here:

and then watch this video, don't forget the last 5 minutes

Oh he's now on rank 2!
I didn't actually watch the full video and I don't know the whole story.
But I guess life will go on no matter what difficulties will come along the way.

I wish you all the best man!
