It is often said that the only constant is change. A seemingly contradictory statement , but despite that in my experience it is true. I think during times like this we should listen yo the statements but focus on actions. If someone says Steem is going to be alright, but starts powering down, it’s foolish to ignore that. The large stakeholders and witnesses who are powering down may be doing do for a variety of reasons, but in this state of non/transparency and inconsistent communication we should all be vigilant. I will continue to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Thank you for helping us stay informed and providing information which we all must process in concert with other info and make decisions on protecting our stake.
