Competition could be very good for steem holders. You might see some movement of stake holders who didn't believe in steem, but any forks who attempt to compete with steem, raise publicity for steem. As long as you plan on being the better network (and you already have the community network advantage) it's more likely to be good for stake holders.
I powered down already without any plans to sell until todays news. I was about to power up again too... But I'll sign the petition anyway as a meaningless minnow voice having thought about it long enough. Bitcoin is what it is without Satoshi and with the open source permissions.
I have a while bitcoin for the first time ever which feels novel. We'll see if there's enough communication from the development team to convince me to buy my steem back...
@beanz we don't always agree but on this we agree 100%. Congrats on your first full Bitcoin BTW!
I often agree with you smooth. You're just more likely to hear from me if I disagree with you. Which makes me a nuisance lol.
