Thanks for sharing NNT, that looks like some fascinating and meaty reading to sink my teeth into when I've got some spare time. I like the turkey analogy too - I'd so much rather be the butcher!

I'm not so concerned about the power down period. If anything, it might be a good thing to allow big account holders to finish their dumping faster, so that we end up with more Steem spread out to average users like myself. I'm quite happy to have the opportunity to acquire Steem as cheaply as possible. Once Steem is well distributed amongst the community, we might not have such a great opportunity again! Now is a good time for anyone looking to position themselves as an emergent dolphin once the dust settles.
