Dandelions, Steem blockchain and photography

Dandelions are beautiful, and they can serve as nice inspiration for a reminder of what cryptocurrency and blockchain is trying to achieve and what we are aiming for. I hope Taraz won't mind, but I will use his post to present this, since he is way better with words than I am, and probably will ever be. The world will never run out of dandelions
Short explanatory photo story of the current situation:
Let's see the whole blockchain as a single dandelion plant(or just the seed head/container).
In the beginning of HF22 there was a crucial error, the whole chain was frozen - and there was great effort from all consensus witnesses (and some others) and Steemit team to restore the chain. The fix was deployed, chain restored and steem was operational, yet applications did not work yet. Most of the RPC nodes were down, and currently, we have only 2 or 3 operational - but we can interact on chain again through apps!
