thanks for sharing your story...
and Merry Christmas

You’re one of about a dozen people on steem who I regularly find the time to listen to and enjoy.

I look forward to the day when you and I can have a talk from America to Europe, as I suspect your deep interest and passion in all this, will result in some very good work conversationally.

I want to publish and open source my intellectual collection here, but before I do so, I really need to establish meaningful connections with members who have networks themselves, of individuals who care about them, what they have to say, and what they appreciate.

I have no interest in generating a lot of revenue here, but I also want to get up to speed as fast as possible, and witnesses are the CONGRESS of Steem to me, and the best way into a more and more beautiful future.

Awesome that you’re dad and step could finally get along, truly, as the difference that makes can be truly very dramatic for a family.

Merry Christmas.

This is great story. Whenever a home breaks apart, the children suffer it more than anyone else. And its good that @clio enjoys blogging, that's a good example for mosts moms to follow. @exyle I'm standing with you on the crypto issue. I just voted @blockbrothers as a witness. I love your family's lifestyle. And your niece, she's so cute. Hope she becomes a business expert like you @exyle.

Hey @exyle, my favourite blogger on Steemit.

I just wanted to say it is so nice to see a blogger Steemian, who is not involved in those downvote wars, and who seems to not bother anyone with the way he make his blog. There is so much talk about the fairness of reward system, but you seem to be out of it, and that's how I would like to see most of the community to behave!

Be positive and not engage in disputes. Cheers!

Exactly. Talking about converting Crypto to real money, I converted a small share of 4 SBDs Yesterday and gave my younger sister a surprise on her Birthday. Decorated my room for her Birthday. It is almost the end of the month and my Salary is almost gone. Had those 4 SBD in my wallet, I guess that was the best use I could get from them. I can so relate to what you said. 

Merry Christmas! And hey, Fee is so cute.

Nice, thank you

I voted for you, YOU right? Not your company? I had 30 votes, now I have 29 left, so I do believe it went thru! Glad to hear you've got a cool mom!

Amazing post. Happy to see your family get along. I have similar situation whit my friends, who are all economist. It is just a waste of time explaining them about blockchain technology etc. Merry Christmas !

You mom is loving the crypto mania :) Merry Xmas

Such a cool story, @exyle! We have been on @steemit for just over a week (I think) and we are totally loving it! This is such a cool community. Look forward to learning more about how to be a great contributor to the community! Glad to hear your family is doing well! Cheers!

"All aboard the steem train! destination moon. I hope you have a pleasant  journey and make many friends along they way :)"
I can wait for the first person to plan the steem flag on the actual moon, it will be hilarious. Your mom is awesome btw. Cheers !

Life after a break-up is never easy but avoiding each other for 5 years is not a good way either. It's very good to hear that they finally were able to accept each other despite all that has happened. Such a blessing it was on Christmas as well.

Its wonderful that you were all able to visit. My mother passed the week of easter and i asked her for snow....she delivered and it made my day.

Great to know everyone came together for a special occasion truly the best day :)

Merry christmas my dear friend @exyle and I am also happy that you around your family member and enjoying your life. and yes steem is  the longest train to go, so lets board this train who knows when it starts it never stops.

My son also brought me here, just like you got your mum on board.
I haven't regreted it 1 single day yet, and don't think I will get bored of it anytime soon.
Just like your mum I stay up sometimes, reading articles and such.
If it wasn't for my son @edolascrypto (he didn't give up easily), I would most likely be one of those people randomly blabbing out "It's a bubble!" , purely out of ignorance and lack of knowledge. Super happy I gave myself the time to learn, grow, invest a little, and be part of this amazing platform! Must be something in the Dutch water for us to create such great sons!

Hello @exyle your post is so beautiful. you know why? Not because of the talk of crypto or anything else but because of the vibes that I get from the narrative and the pictures of a family that bonds together and is celebrating Christmas together.Remain together and remain blessed

You can't convince dinosaurs. The funny thing is that Steemit has a real product that you "can touch and feel". How much more convincing do you need?

I agree with your brother and father that cryptocurrencies do ***appear*** to be a bubble but there is a difference. The price of these currencies will fluctuate - often wildly but it is because we are observing a change in technologies. When CD-Roms first entered the market they were around $5000. Families (in China) would buy many not because of speculation but what they represented. The CD-Roms meant an income flow and they started burning CD's for the pirate market. "Bitcoin" are the same thing, they are a new technology which are destined to change not only the way money works, but also the way that societies work. 
Yes some of the major increase was due to Bitcoin Fever but also part of the increase is the recognition that it is an alternative. Ask your father if he believes the stock market will tank this year (it is within the last 3 years of the decade). Then ask him is the bond market is a good place to shift the money now. Finally ask if the commodity market is a good investment (it is in a longer range investment horizon).  I think that more and more investors are dipping their toes in the cryptocurrency market as a desperation play in order to put their money into something that may have a potential. This is only a guess but I believe that Bitcoin will bounce one more time against the $12000ish support level and then resume its upward trajectory.  
STEEM as an investment is totally different to Bitcoin.  It is more than just a crypto ... it is "brainware".  It is a community of over 500,000 exchanging ideas, goals and motivations. When the SMT technology drops, it will revolutionize a growing number of ways of communication.

I have gone through your profile sir. It's  cool I  have followed you already I'm a newbie please help upvote my intoduuctory post.  Regards

Your niece is so cool,  and also your mum is looking too astonishing... 
Merry Christmas @exyle

I Wont call cryptos a bubble but i see a big correction in the near future. As you mention there are many cryptos with out merit. Each and every day i see tens more ICOs which is not at all sustainable. But i have 100% faith in the blockchain technology. Few of the crypots are really good with some meaningful project under them and have a bright future but rest is just get rich scheme.

Have a good Christmas @exile I'm sure your brother and dad will be (more) convinced about crypto in the next year, 2018 is gonna be big! 😀

The mother was a very powerful woman. Happy days and Merry Christmas.

Family is everything. We are born in a family, nurtured by the family and buried by the family when we die. I am glad your mum is now here, even though I lost my own mum when I was just 8.

I wish your mum all the best.

This community is for all people and all ages, wonderful to see your mom on Steemit and may be your father, after seeing you and your mother million of dollars one day would join too!

Excellent post. It’s good to see that older people getting in on this platform and cryptos in general because it is often said that this is a millennial fad. It’s also nice of you to help out with getting her involved. Great post and very good grammar and spelling and a good job at being concise. Do you write articles professionally? 

Merry Christmas as well!

Wow thats great. It is always difficult at the beginning to see the person that we loved with someone else, but with the time all the feelings change and we see things differently.

seriously @exyle you are one of the most great seniors here on steemit who is promoting steemit and doing hard work for steemit ! 
Glad to see her also !
> Therefore I'm so happy that my own mom (@clio) is on board.
When everyone left she asked me to help her with something on Steemit.
I did.

Excellent work this made me happy !
