the steemit awards is really a complicated issues to discuss on but here is what i see to it. we have xpilar and the xpilar community as a rival in this and deciding to opt out and give the support to them is somehow thoughtful but shouldnt be on the bases that he do support us and might not support if we compete, that is really wrong.

as a supporter, he supported the hope community because he believe in it, and he will be hoping we keep progressing while he keep supporting us not the other way around. The fear shouldnt be there. am not against support xpillar community because if he win, it is still to our own advantages (support) but we should know that if we cant do this and pull out, in future we will keep pulling out.

About the Hope token, it is far beyond the creating a token, the goals, objective is more important, the reason, why and useful should be look into and about the engine it should be on, that will be an issue because the community is trying to stay neutral to what is actually going on, that should be on hold till both engines are working fine so it can be on both
