Why did it took you 10 days to post?

I must admit I am sad to hear this news and I believe it is not a good day for EOS as a whole but I wish you luck with your future endeavours. Please keep us posted here on Hive as to what they are.
Having to work within all the regulatory constraints that blockchain was supposed to get rid of must have been quite frustrating. Going back to basics seems like a good call and I'll be watching with interest. 

Welcome back @dan, have you seen what your old teammates are up to at Koinos Group, working on the Koinos blockchain? One of my greatest regrets is not having been able to spend more time working with you when I started at Steemit. Would be great to catch up some time. https://youtu.be/arLoDPie0c4

When moon?

@dan, its great to see you back posting on Hive.

I understand that as an amazing developer you are always looking for bright, new tech to 
> create free market, voluntary solutions for securing life, liberty, property, and justice for all". 

A new child that will bring liberty to the world.

Please consider that **your first born** (content blockchain) already has, or can be endowed with, all the tech necessary for the above but **has two things that any new project will really struggle to achieve**:

1) True decentralisation; and
2) An active and committed community.

**Decentralisation**
There is an inherent conflict between dreams of decentralisation and the necessity of talented entrepreneurs to create and fund new blockchain projects. It is always very difficult for founders to fully let go and give their child the real freedom to create true decentralisation.

Bitcoin and Hive are the ONLY examples in the whole blockchain space where the founders have completely given up control (or been forced to). 

Even Ethereum is too dependent upon and beholden to Vitalik (even though he is a great guy who is fully committed to decentralisation) and the Ethereum Foundation.

**Community**
A relatively large, committed community that believes in the platform, and will not give up when the token price is in the toilet, is extremely rare and very difficult to create.

Hive has this. It is unique in all of blockchain in this.

Hi, Dan. Glad you came to your senses and started using Hive again - *the best blockchain for all of your social media and gaming needs!*

Whatever your next project is, can you please airdrop some of those fabulous tokens on all Hive users who are holding HIVE Power? That would be most excellent!

Thanks, buddy! I'll see you around here! Hope we can have some conversations again, like we did way back in 2016! 

Don't forget to tell all of your friends on Twitter and other social media apps about Hive! If you get a chance, also check out @dlux-io and the [dlux.io](https://www.dlux.io/) website...they're building a decentralized layer 2 for Hive that should be ready for launch by April!

we all have liberty within when we choose to access it. Liberty on the outside will always be vulnerable to the whims of those around us (usually those in power, but sometimes it might be those closest to you!)
Continue to further your inquiry @dan . It sounds like you have already realised that you can not peddle freedom and so much the better for your own peace of mind! Invent for inventions sake, free from expectation, free from desire. deepest acceptance, ultimate furtherance. you got this! :)

"liberty as a service" seems to not be possible because liberty is not a service and it is not a right as seen by the recent events in our lovely American HQ
Liberty is earned through merit and that is my one peso as I read through some good comments , some funny ones as well

Can anyone help me sell my EOS!? It's stuck in my atomic wallet.

Keep doing great things out here man! 

All the best with your next project, I can imagine all you've learned from each one gives you new ideas and strategies to try out

La verdad en estos casos nos inspira a crear mas confianza en nosotros mismos, saludos.

Dan, get real, this is HIVE, not STEEMIT!

This is open source! Look no further! Stop trying to reinvent the wheel! You've got everything to build on right here and it's open and democratic. You can now do what you wanted to do on STEEMIT but couldn't! Roll up you sleeves and get goin'!

# The window of opportunity is closing rapidly. You don't have time to start from scratch. 😐

Welcome @dan I am glad you are here with us.

Thanks for sharing

Hey @dan 

love to have your ideas and visions here in the #Hive family and send you a bit of !BEER as my welcome.
