I think that's the best thing to do, since in all probability Steem is an even better investment in the longer term extending beyond 2018.
some people will power down if the price is to big they will like cars and houses instead of power.
Best decision!
In fact I have touched upon it in my recent post, Ten Ways You Can Use Steem When It Hits $10 , after I observed that the Steem price could be here to stay.
