3,000 STEEM is currently worth about $6,500. That amount is nothing to sneeze at! And if the market changes, the USD could well be worth less, or possibly twice that amount. Why eliminate good ideas and a possible partnership before proposing to the organization we've been considering? Let's let them make the choice! If we cannot find a willing partner to continue to work on the Steemit platform, well, then we'll have no choice but to support their cashing out and applying the resources to their mission.
