Will miss your informations and updates .The announcement of the date of SMT , will definitely take this community to the moon,with innovative ways and means.Good luck dear for your visit to Brasil.

Enjoy your time in Brazil, groetjes!

Enjoy Brasil!  We'll be here when you get back! 😉

> If anything I will become smaller and smaller. Which is exactly how it should be.

😆 nice and logic thinking. There will always be massive amounts of fake accounts whether we like it or not. At the end mostly real people decide who gets rewarded and who doesn’t. We just have to use common sense and also help each other.

Finally some nice positive feedback and comments from the recent news of clear launch dates for SMT. In the replies to @steemitblog i saw mostly criticism and complaints, which i think is a bit sad and disappointing, especially as it came from a lot of higher ranked members of the steemit community.  

I think these are awesome news and it gives me a big relief. Some claim that posting a date so far away even makes things worse, while in the same time people have been complaining the whole year about Stemmit INC not beeing direct and transparent enough with information about the progress, thus i find it quite contradictive. 

I think this announcement as this time is perfect, and should put people at easy, and as you mention it is even necesseary, as people who want to launch Smts need to know this time frame. Like you i will use this time wisely and collect more Steem.

Hope I realise my project on march too. This project will help steemit to grow. I have build it but don't have $$$ for hosting

Have a safe trip en geniet van de weddingbells ohhhhh en niet vloggen zal een DETOX zijn 😬

I'll miss your vlogs as they motivate me to keep amassing as many steem tokens as i can. Still.. you'll have the green egg posts which are always interesting and entertaining
Have a great time in Brazil :-)

We have been waiting long time for this day to come 😁

If ever there was a "genuine" Steem ambassador for this blockchain, it's most definitely you. A constant source of knowledge, inspiration and positivity every single day for almost 2 years. That's some commitment!

Will miss these vlogs but something tells me you'll be back after a well-earned rest. Bless you, man and thanks for sharing your journey with us all. :)

Will 2019 be the best year of Stemit?

We will really miss your vlogs.

sure, take a break but come back. because your voice is absolutely important, without it i would not have learned as much as i have so far.

The timing seems perfect to me @exyle. I'm sure you will post the occasional update on things but for now it really does seem that all that needs to be said has been said.

I've learned so much from you and have loved your positive attitude and passion for all things Steem.

I will still be following your lifestyle posts as I enjoy those too.

Thanks again for all your Steemit vlogs. They have been my biggest source of learning and inspiration here on all things Steem.

Exciting times! 😁

I will miss this series Mark and watching it every day. Like @ezzy said, maybe you'll reconsider after a well-deserved break. :)

As usual enjoyed this vlog and I learned something. 

I agree that they are a lot of work but I disagree with your comment that your Vlog is no longer needed. Here are some points to keep in mind.

**1.)** You will likely be doing the research and reading necessary for the vlog anyway.

**2.)** You have built up a following (I'm addicted) that relies on you for the latest news and information. We need a reliable source!

**3.)** You say that you are earning less on these vlogs than on the lifestyle ones. I noticed the drop when you moved from DTube to DLive and I assumed that you made the move to help boost the profile of DLive.

I would gladly "pay" for your research by changing my vote on your Vlogs to 100% from my various accounts which I'll do starting with this one. Others likely feel the same way.

**4.)**With the inception of SMT's you'll have more information than ever to draw your inspiration from.

**In Summary:** Have a great trip to Brazil, take a break and come back stronger than ever with your great vlogs!

Wow man, you look so incredibly happy. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I have thoroughly enjoyed your blogs and will miss you greatly. Steem is #1 and I am sticking with it long-term. Peace and love my Steem friend.

Thanks for another wonderful video @exyle and enjoy your trip.

I would say your vlogs are still needed.  There is so much to cover.  As one who is continually writing about the STEEM blockchain myself, I know how much is taking place.  Thus, while there might not be a lot to talk about with the blockchain itself, there is still a ton of activity regarding different projects to cover.  

This is important information and not a ton of people are taking the time to research it and promote it.  Someone like you, with a following, can really help kickstart a new project by getting it some attention.  This is a role I think you should continue to embrace. 

Yes it is time, effort and commitment, but it is also a valuable service to the entire ecosystem.
