Interesting. No real way of knowing why they are doing it and all at the same time, could be positive or negative for the rest of us, no way of knowing, yet. But actually I don't think there is too much in this, I think these guys know enough about Steemit to realize that they couldn't do something like this secretly you know it takes 13 weeks to power down, if sometime before those 13 weeks are up word goes out that Steem is going bust the price would be close to 0 anyway. Or perhaps they might want to get out as much as they can before the price really tanks. Yes this can be spun a lot of ways, but I would like to know, just out of curiosity,what these witnesses give as the reason for this.
