<center><h2>It's Sad That @dan Powered Down.</h2></center>

Dan Larimer, co-founder of Steemit. Thank you for everything you've done for me... And thank you for everything you **continue** to do for **Steemit.** I've read many of your articles and I've watched several of your videos... You are a true genius and your generosity and actions doesn't go unnoticed. I wish you were still at Steemit, because I truly believe that Steemit would've been a better place.

I don't mean that I think that Steemit is bad, but it's definitely many things one can question. People aren't aware of the things that happens and others seems to ignore it. Many of the people with enough stake to actually do something about certain things ignores it and pays no attention to things around them.

You on the other hand, even though you're powering down what seems to be **everything** you have, are **still** doing **something** for **Steemit**. And I appreciate your gesture and actions.

The fact that you're stepping in when many others does not, shows that you **still** care about your creation. Even though you're leaving Steemit behind by powering down and all those things, you cannot bare to see your creation be harmed and damaged without doing **something** to protect it. - ***And that's a wonderful thing in my book.***

I just wish that you never powered down as much as you did, because with you at the side of the table, I think that Steemit would be steered in the right direction even when it was difficult situations to handle.  Now, I'm not as tech savvy as you or others and I don't have millions of dollars. In fact, I'm just a simple, random guy, as most of the other Steemians... But truth to be told, I often feel that I care more than many others. And for that, I am sad. 

I always felt that you tried your best and did what you thought was the best for others instead of thinking about yourself at first. At least that's my experience... And you prove that I was right by supporting @fulltimegeek and many other brave heroes in the current flag war. I appreciate it. **We** appreciate it.

*Yup, I compare Sheldon and Dan.*</center>

I truly hope that you will continue to help and support Steemit and our fellow Steemians in this war... At least for as long as you still have some Steem Power in your wallet. And I know that you have enough reputation to make others to follow your steps too.

To see the co-founder of Steemit flagging to protect his creation is not only awesome, it's also very encouraging, inspiring and makes me believe that there's actually a **good** chance to prevent this reward pool rape. Now, I hope that many **others** with enough stake to make a difference will do the same. 

I feel truly bad for many of the people who've been fighting the **troll** for this long, and I wish that I could've done so much more myself... But hopefully, it will be over soon.
