Like a few lucky Steemians I got a LEO airdrop. Some Steemians right off the bat said, "oh look-ie here free crypto, let's dump and make some pennies on the dollar". Now don't feel bad.. we have all done that at many junctures in our crypto-adventure. I did it with BITCOIN at one point.
Other Steemians HODL'd..
I staked my LEO (Powered Up) rather than liquidate it and now each post is earning on mulitple platforms. Perhaps we can call this the STEEM MULTIVERSE.

It's a sad lesson for a few, but it's a lesson none the less. You could have headed off like I did to those STEEM clones; WEKU, BEARSHARES, WHALESHARES.. but something seemed off (at least to me). I was cut off from the STEEM multiverse, and so I headed back. Those platforms are standalone and to be honest exist isolated on a single plain of existence. Sure they could copy the Steem-engine or SMT model, but I do not believe the demand will be as strong.
Here and now, one post and one upvote can be received by many Front-End-Multiverse STEEM portals. The ripple effects are widening and communities (tribes) that can be seen (or not) are consolidating. Some will fall, and some may excel even past the blockchain. All I know is that in only a few hours my first STEEM-LEO payout will be happening. That same payout will rewarded in STEEM, PAL, NEOXAG, and of course LEO coins.
I'll tell you right now, cutting and running at this juncture would be foolish. Especially with STEEM dropping. Wouldn't you want more coins to add to your 'net' worth. Why limit to one payout when it can be 2-3, 3-4, 3-10?
Do you understand?
