Have been checking the #discussion tag out a bit, most upvotes seem to come from you though ^^ Would be nice if more people eventually participated.
Buying Steem for under a dollar is probably a good bet, and unless Bitcoin is going down a lot more in the coming days/weeks the price won't go much lower either. On the other hand there is plenty of other crypto's to buy. I'd say diverse your investment.
Yeah, as I mentioned in the original post - it will start out as a grassroots effort. Hopefully has time goes on and more people get involved, we can attract more people/voters :)
