RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (What did you do when...)
First of all I have to comment on this statement:
Survive the coming crypto-culling. The time when only the truly useful and widely-adopted chains will survive, and the rest will crash away. I have high hopes that Steem can be one of these survivors, but not in it’s current form as a blogging platform.
Totally agree with this. In 5 years most of the shitcoins won't even exist and will have fallen away due to not having any use. There are only a few viable coins in existence at the moment and i believe that STEEM is one of the front runners. Hopefully with the hardfork we will see some of the potential this year and new apps to work with it. I love to interact but not really a blogger so looking forward to new ways of earning steem in the future.

How did you spend your week away from Steem?
For the main point of the post. I really didn't enjoy it. When i had time off or busy so that i didn't go online it wasn't an issue. When i wanted to go onto steemit and couldn't is when i found the going tough. The weather was really bad here so i was slightly restricted anyway making it an ideal week for blogging and interacting. If the weather had been a bit nicer i would have spend time outdoors and maybe even a game of golf along the way.
I didn't find the weather too terrible in Ireland! Sure, it wasn't great but it wasn't pouring down! On the other hand, I live in Netherlands, so we often have similar weather....
I am hopeful for Steem to be one of the longer lasting chains... Although, I still firmly believe that we need to move outwards from a blogging platform... Not everyone wants to write... And the rewards for reading are not going to attract people to join up. Likewise, the quality of dsound and dtube posts are not that good at the moment (in general), so if an established creator comes in, and essentially gets overlooked, then it is going to drive people away...
