I didn’t say never to be seen again. From that perspective, it makes sense to repeat this cycle as long as steem is worth something, but as soon as steem loses value, I don’t think they’d hang around much.

If there are people who rent Steem Power for idealistic reasons, fair enough, but that doesn’t seem to be the majority to me.
