I've received notification that I'm turning nine today. It's both crazy and awesome to think that I've been writing down ideas and insanities on this blockchain for that long.
Like all journeys, it's had its amazing moments, some quite life-changing, but it's also brought me to tears.
These days, I'm here really out of rebellion. If I had to condense it to one thing, why do I keep on keeping on? It's simply the anarchist in me that refuses to believe there isn't a way out of the status quo.
Like many of you, I've also had different levels of engagement with this blockchain. There have been years when I've written thousands of comments and posts. Years when I've decided, to my own detriment too, to be very involved in the politics of this place.
But I've also tried to be a distant observer, a simple guy with a blog. In both situations, I've found myself wondering if I should be on the other side.
At any rate, I'm grateful for it all. Even the low moments. Even the tears. They've made me who I am, and there is just no way not to appreciate the road I've walked.
Thanks to everyone for sharing this journey with me.
