ur too pesimistic.... we the real community are the real majority stake holders and as we power down we dump the steem to hive, steem will need a long time to recover... u might see a fall of steem price now very friday ;) as we power down... they cant even keep their steemit page stable XD but the blockchain its self is too usefull to be abandoned. the whole dpos system i think would be useless if it was not for social features that allow us to get to know the witnesses :D and with dao i hope to see more features in steem, atleast my vote on proposals went to openseed and steem engine aswell so that they can improve hive... wouldnt that be nice if steem engine made writing any smartcontract possible? or implementing in future cross chain smart contracts :D
SMTs should be what the community supports. Let steem-engine reinvest some of their steem monsters' profits. HiveAOL is only a clique away.
wats hiveaol? AOL like the email client?
That is a pet name of mine for Hive. It reminds me of that small group of an older aged demographic, much like the old AOL crowd. Die hards if you will who, in my opinion, are doubling down on a broken governance.
