I'm three-years-old today!

Yes, I am three-years-old today, at least in Hive years and blockchain-time. I requested my account on the 24^th of September, 2017, and within 24-hours I had received the approval email! I claimed the account and first signed-on just past 8:00 PM, my time, on 25-Sep-2017. Since the blockchain works off UTC, a visitor to HiveBlocks will see that I logged in at at 7-minutes-past-midnight on the 26th, but hey: it was the 25th in my world!

It has been quite the interesting ride on the crypto roller coaster since my 2^nd blockchain anniversary last year. Mainly, of course, there was the whole bru-ha-ha around Ned's betrayal and sell-out of Steemit,Inc to Justin Sun of Tron. But, at least in the deal, thanks to @blocktrades, @gtg, @crimsonclad, @someguy123, and more people than I can possibly mention here, we have a shiny new blockchain that is now just six-months old and purring like a happy kitten most of the time. And there is no ninja-mined stake on Hive! 🚫

Also, because of the bru-ha-ha and all the fallout, many of us have PoweredDown our stake on Steem that other chain and converted our holdings to liquid-HIVE and PoweredUp here. I had just become a Dolphin "over there" so that stake really boosted me nicely on Hive and has given me a wonderful upvote value to reward quality content creators here. I am so thrilled about that! I am currently in 1,257^th position of stakeholders. Sure, there's a bunch of folks in front of me, but thanks to the cashing-out of STEEM, I am much higher up the HIVE ladder. So, thank you, JustinSun, for driving us away with your inability to communicate and compromise. 😁

To celebrate, I am seriously considering ordering the shirt shown. I don't wear t-shirts very often, and most of my tops have a floral pattern for wearing with solid-color skirts, or are solid-color for wearing with patterned skirts.

But, this Women's Roll Cuff T-shirt is adorable! It has a scoop neck, which is much more comfortable than a crew-neck, and has delightful and stylish feminine features! It is available in several colors, but I like this "Heather Burgundy" color the best of all.

Anyone wanting some Hive swag should check out the HiveBuzz Store where a variety of items can be found: short-sleeved t-shirts, long-sleeved t-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, mugs, caps, face masks, pin-on buttons, and backpack-styled bags made from sweatshirt fabric. There are selections for both women and men. 🙂

I am looking forward to getting my shiny new badge on HiveBuzz in a few hours!
