As can be expected, this post carries your trademark provocateur style and it's gonna be interesting to see how it pans out. Nevertheless, you touch on the thing that had me quite disheveled earlier.

There are opposing forces on the chain pulling in different directions. The profiteers are scrambling to rationalize the old way which we have observed is no way at all but rather a dead end or perhaps better imagery would be a course towards a swirling maelstrom or whirlpool.

Some of them seem to have one foot in and one foot out of the #newsteem boat as those with vision desperately paddle to escape the swirling waters as they foolish go headlong in their race to the bottom.

I can expand on this and say we are all fettered to one another and as we turn our oars to what we believe to be progress, there are others who use their motorboats (bid bots) to go the other way.

I would like to say we can pull them out as well but intuitively it seems their force of tension trumps our own many times over.

The decision that smartsteem made is highly commendable and puts hope in my heart but in my estimation there are many just sitting idly in their boats.

Believe there is some situations in life where it is necessary to make a decision and I wholly believe this is one such case.

People have freedom to choose as they will and they will be responsible for the destination.

Whether it is down the abyss or on solid ground, that is yet to be determined.

Lol guess my comment was just a little dramatic hey but so is your post. 😛
