I have serious doubts. Interesting rumor.
If it's true, we'll be the last ones informed after the prices go crazy from insiders selling.
If this is real it would be best to write down all of our passwords just in case steemit pulls out of the steem blockchain.
Yes! Everyone is warned to do this on day one after they create an account. It amazes me how many people fail to write down their passwords after they log in. Months later they are angry when they can't get back in.
