RE: 13 weeks for a full powerdown. Is it really attractive?
The market forces are a strange beast.
I'm of the other mind and would extend the power down period. If less Steem was on the market and more was powered up, you wouldn't have the fluctuations....Unfortunately when huge holders like Steemit inc selling like no tomorrow (pump and dump will happen). In this sense you may be right and we need to go the other way - food for thought.
I know that during the early days the power down period was 2 years. Which shows commitment, but was also crazy. We can't avoid pumps and dumps...not in steem nor in every coin. It's just the way things work...
I only share my thoughts as a guy who is here for the long run and is not in a hurry...But I wouldn't say no if I could add more steem and gain more influence on the platform when dumps happen.
PS ~70% of all steem tokens are vested which means there are many believers around!
