Actually, you've been sounding anything but negative. I've seen negative on posts on Steemit, and this is far from it. It usually consists of a lot of swearing, name calling and repeated references to how useless and doomed STEEM and Steemit is. They all have issues, but few of them actually offer solutions or any hope, so it makes me wonder:
a) why are they still here—misery loves company?
b) who raised them—a drunken sailor?
c) if they know the problems, why don't they fix them—because they don't want to, or they can't, or they don't really care?
So, no. It's actually nice to see a grown up talk about grown up things in grown up ways. When I run into these tirades, I wonder if this is how they solve their issues in real life? Since most of them are anonymous, I just imagine males somewhere between the ages of 15-35, down in the basement of their parents house, flaming each other. It's kind of humorous, but sad, too. They can't really be the ones with such influence here, can they?
I hold your same hope, that somehow, someway, someone will make what they consider to be a sacrifice (which will end up being a bounty instead), and the first mighty domino will fall and it will sweep out and one by one things will change. I'd much rather it be from us then something forced on us, like a bottoming out of STEEM or another code change.
I really don't know the folks you're referring to that you would hate to see affected by such a thing, so I don't know if I should feel sorry for them or not.
I choose B... lol
Very good points Glen! I'm glad I don't sound negative to you because I'm not... I actually find this very fascinating and I am encouraged very much by whichever way it plays out. Personally I would be better if it tanks back to $0.16 so then I could sink some of my fiat in. But as I said earlier, there are some I would feel bad for if it ever fell that low.
The good thing is that I don't get to "determine" what happens, I just get to react to what does happen. So I keep my eyes open and I will see just which way this goes.
I hope you have a good rest of your weekend Glen, and congrats for setting the modern day record in Asher's League of Excellence!
