Good day everyone. Yesterday I was confronted and enformed vai DM by @underground that my spelling and grammar when composing content can sometimes be quite abysmal and cryptic at times. My reply to his blunt feedback could not be summed up into words and had to be expressed through the art of the gif. I found this one fitting.

Thon cheeky fucker even suggested that I use grammary to help me out. My writing skills are not the best and words are not my strength. I googled searched it anyway and seen they provide a google chrome extension so I thought why not. I gave them my email address and name to sign up. Very simple and all done in under 1 minute. They did not confirm the email and I'm sure you could just make a name up if desired. That was about 24 hours ago and so far I have been very impressed. It auto integrates into everything you write so emails, word docs, social media, steemit posts, and comments, you get the idea. I have signed up for the free version which is good for free. I think the paid service includes better filtering and stuff but costs $12 a month which is not a lot but still about 85 STEEM at today's prices.
Very happy I tried this out, it'll get used every day from now and make me look like less of a tard. Thanks, @underground

In other news today

It was 10 years ago today that the very first BTC sale transaction took place. The transaction was 5050 BTC for £5.02, that's roughly a tenth of a penny per BTC. This transaction was very important and turned BTC into an economic good. Interestingly enough the same amount of BTC today would be worth $42 million and the owner would have made I an 840 million percent RIO if HODLed.
In the past 10 years since that transaction took place things have changed massively. There are now around 250,000 transactions confirmed every day, thousands of new cryptos have appeared and disappeared and BTC is going through getting regulated in many countries with billions of dollars of investments being poured into the crypto market. I wonder what BTC will be doing in terms of daily volume and transactions in 10 years from today.
