I do wonder if they would power it down and try to invest in other things. If all they care about is ROI I don’t expect them to be holder of Steem once that avenue is gone. This does not mean however our own ecosystem could not provide other investment opportunity.

While my own holding are not massive in Steem Monsters. Since prices are listed in Dollars and despite the decline in Steem they are still going up in dollar amounts.

Perhaps SMT and other digital assets could hold some potential future for people to want to invest in those over the bid bots.

End of the day we just need more options. Image if a company grew up on our blockchain and you could have bought shares in that company with Steem that funded their future and allowed them to power up to support salaries, promotions, and other stuff. Who would care about ROI of a bidbot if you could get kind of returns a startup could yield in a few years by investing in it.

So many seem keen on trying to tie up every Steem out there into SP. The less SP the more votes are worth. As long as there is an ecosystem to support and utilize the higher amount of Steem that just look like a very healthy economy.

If to many try and invest in bidbots by massively converting into SP then votes powering network wide just decrease per vest. There will be a point where they will need to power up so much more just to make a few extra cents that it won't make sense to do so. Which is the long term issue they are facing when it comes to ROI.
