I couldn't agree with you more; and I have made similar arguments in my posts. They have only transferred their mindset from Steem to HIVE.

As for the 13-week Power Down, I'm already seeing funds moving in both directions, but there is more HIVE going to STEEM. People are not waiting for 13 weeks to pass because they are taking advantage of the price of HIVE being close to STEEM before the HIVE token tanks. STEEM is also having more funds coming in from the new Witnesses. Remember that part of a Witness' responsibility is to keep the SBD at $1, which the HIVE High Council failed to do when they were here, and are failing to do with the HBD.
