Snapshot is around the corner, seeing steem price soaring, makes me think is that the major stake holder trying to buy in? I really don't know about it anymore. All I care is we all lost in this. Forking out was the only way? That's a defeat, or we can choose to give it a nicer name - damage control.
Have you ever heard of this famous song? To the left is not the song title, the title is Irreplaceable. If you haven't heard of it, here you go.
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
.
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff
Yes, if I bought it, please don't touch
And keep talking that mess that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And, it's my name that's on that jag
So come move your bags, let me call you a cab
.
Standing in the front yard
Tellin' me, how I'm such a fool
Talkin' 'bout, I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
.
You must not know about me, you must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know about me, you must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable
It just suddenly reminds me of this song. There's no one irreplaceable, but the only thing is, would you like to replace it? To me, steem was dead, and today it just died all over again. I know there is a new home for us called #hive, which is very promising and frankly it's here to "replace" the original old chain, and I saw this crazy scenary of people cheating old friends, abusing their caretaker role, took out other's belonging steem/SBD and send them to the caretaker's exchange account in order to collect airdrop.
I'm not going to comment who is right or who is LEFT anymore. There's no wrong here, only who is replaceable. As far as I know, 
p/s: Added later, found this interesting fact. I withdrawn almost all of the SBD 8.383SBD, and guess how much am I getting back?
