Dear @spirajn

Interesting publication and solid read. Upvote on the way (from @project.hope as well).

I just read about LISK doing the same and firing quite a number of employees. I think it's all related to world economy, which is clearly slowing down and most companies will start cutting expenses, controlig costs and managing investments (in more strict manners).

I've noticed that all Venezuelans (that I know) are using some middle-man (called orinoco?) to cash out their earning on Steemit. And sometimes I was wondering - what would happen if this one particular way of selling your steem would be closed down. Do you have any other way of accessing your funds on Steemit and cashing it out?

What could you do if this would ever happen? And how unlikley this scenario us?

cc: @juanmolina, @lanzjoseg, @fucho80, @pedrobrito2004, @jadams2k18, @nachomolina - could I ask you to comment part of my comment related to orinoco?

ps.
Perhaps next time you could share this post in our project HOPE telegram channel? Chance of me seeing your post and supporting is higher.

Cheers
