Steem isn't gonna die, steem has just began rising. I think we just need to be patient and observe what Justin and the team has for us in the integration of steem and hive. I'm quite sure he won't want steem dead just like many other people maybe claiming.
Third , witnesses are worried about this acquisition so they proposed soft fork which temporarily freezes the accounts of Steemit inc ,
Some witness are really worried about themselves making it look like they are worried because of steem blockchain. Some are actually just too greedy wanting to earn more without considering the community. There is actually more to this though and I suggest you make more research about it.
Thanks for your lovely comment with love from @hardaeborla ❤️💕❤️
I do think this that steem is going to survive
