I think we can agree that the people who moved to Hive already got way way more value out of Steem than they were ever expecting. This is because the current Steem community is buying those bags and trying to keep the project afloat.
I've personally received thousands of dollars from my powerdowns ($500 a week for 9 weeks). This is vastly more than I ever expected.
Most of the stake that was funneled to @community321 was a danger to the Steem network, just like the stake Hive forked out was a danger to their network. We are trying to have our cake and eat it too. Let me tell you, this cake is delicious. Yum Yum.
Yeah agree with you completely and JS made us a favour by keeping the price quite high for the shitshow STEEM has been lately. I managed to increase substantially my account while making some invests in Exode and Splinterlands. Very happy with it.
Also this blockchain is starting to look as a real community, the example of the white knight and the work ApsHamilton has done proves that we can do very well in this new path.
Interesting times.
