Going forward, I would highly suggest you consider your investment in this network and think about what it would mean to you if you no longer had the ability to transact (power down, transfer, delegate, update witness, etc). I know I will take my account working again as a miracle and take a step back and re-evaluate my level of risk involved in such an unpredictable network. Perhaps when things stabilize a bit Steem will be as appealing an investment to me as it ever was.

This is the part that worries me in this post. It sounds a bit Banfieldian to suggest people should leave, while being a fairly high level witness. I'll likely irritate you with this comment @netuoso, because I understand you and your assertion which is essentially analogue to "do your own research, invest wisely" is in and of itself, logical advice.

But to Fyrst's point, witness optics, are a thing... #justsayin
