It's just one of the reasons for me to buy Steem. I feel that @elipowell knows how to run a company. Killing expenditures and generating revenue. I have a lot of trust in her. What she has done in 6 months is impressive.

I also don't think people will leave. Why would they? and where to? With all the new tribes there is plenty of reasons to stay. It has nothing to do with earning STEEM.

Also, communities like Splinterlands have nothing to do with earning STEEM. Also, no reason to leave.

What they do have all in common is that they need RC's on the Steem blockchain. And that's only possible if you have Steempower.
