You got it backwards, Justin and Ned haven't forked anyone out of anything. The top 20 witnesses did.

Or they are preparing to dump old steem for the new steem they are going to create by forking. In effect, move value from the one to the new one.

Of course, but when you have a couple of the most vocal witnesses starting FULL powerdowns within the last week while at the same time screaming for everyone to vote for them, it sends a pretty mixed message.

He's allowed to change his mind based on how things have progressed since that time. Which I think most feel the same way. At the time of the SF most were hopeful (but not confident) that it was the right

So why I'm not powering down? Good question. Why are you not?

I think the weakness will be short lived either way, just like bitcoin's.

What about the steem and SBDs that we own, what happens to them?

Have you seen the latest news? Some are thinking that Sun may kill steem as we know it.

Ok I am glad I wasn't the only one to hear that.

I remember stating long ago that we needed to push for 3-5 witness votes per account. Made sense then, makes even more sense now.
