That puts me close to halfway to an orca, if those things still exist on HIVE.
I didn't think of that, i can almost be an instant equivilant dolphin on hive chain. I even made my very first ever crypto transaction today, and sold 10 steem and got 8 Hive for it. I was and still am pretty excited that I did that. I know it blasted my 5 year steem plan out the door, but I can adapt, I can change, and I can make a now road if I want to. I still have not decided full yet if I want to power down or not. I might do it for a week, and then stop it.Just so I can buy some more Hive tokens. That Ionomy place was pretty simple to do.
Hey, @bashadow.
You are now officially a crypto trader. :) Or whatever they call it.
I think a lot of us with long term plans are re-evaluating them, simply because conditions on the ground change. And while some of it, for me at least, such as—where are STEEM and HIVE ultimately going to go—is still very much up in the air, having two diverging opportunities to get it right, well, that's better than banking on just one.
I wish you well with whatever you end up doing regarding STEEM or HIVE. I don't think it's an easy decision, though for some it appears to be. Too much time invested in one, and enough uncertainty still on the other, to really know.
I just do not want to do a knee jerk reaction. It has not even been a week yet. Some people have a lot of money, Hive is being sold and bought on exchanges, and even though there is a 30 day witness vote period, time can pass pretty quickly. Both may far exceed expectations, and both may fall flat on their faces, I am sure it will be somewhere in the middle for both of them. I don't really enjoy taking a wait and see attitude, but I also do not want to be part of a panicked herd mentality.
I will primarily be posting on Hive for now, still casting votes on steem, and powering down my alt account and letting my steem community page continue to do what it has been doing, nothing.
I think at this point, it's tough to be in knee jerk territory. We've seen firsthand what Sun is capable of and to what lengths he's willing to go (poked into it or not). In spite of whatever brilliance he might have, letting STEEM be STEEM doesn't appear to be high on his to do list.
Though, I note that he hasn't changed the 13-week window yet, even though it would benefit his exchange pals greatly to do so. Either he can't because he doesn't have the expertise to pull it off, or he sees the exodus coming.
Sorry to hear about your community. It's hard to believe, but we're still in early days for those, too. Seems like months instead of weeks. :)
I only made it so I would know how they work anyways, part of helping the testing group out to see what issue I would experience. It was kind of fun, and now I know a bit more of how they work, I may try to get it started up on here, I actually made a post on it the other day, so my community page does have one official type post.
