There are no easy answers, especially since everyone wants their "stake" to go to the new chain but not everyone wants the problems that may come with every single account holding steem/steem power going there as well. Interesting times ahead for the steem chain and community. Big SP holders want to remain in charge here or on the new chain, not sure if that is or isn't a good thing.
Well, I would say that anyone who voted in favor of centralizing a decentralized community is the kind of person that would do it again, given the opportunity of they thought it would make them a little money.
Definitely! Those voters/accounts should (theoretically) be the easy ones to exclude if there is a new "chain" split off from the original. Im not so sure how this new chain will "deal with" or "account for" the multitude of accounts involved with or supportive of the various spam, vote-bot, vote-buying/selling/circles/farming, etc. schemes, starting from the very beginning that were all clearly profit driven. Besides that, I still remain optimistic that those who have genuinely invested their time, $ and energy into benefitting this community/experiment will do the right thing moving forward.
With prices the way they are I do wish I had enough confidence to actually be buying more Steem at this point, but the last time I bought when i thought prices were "great" was on feb 13th, of all days... Hopefully all we regret is not buying more at this time.
I have bought some, I have sold some, I hold a fair bit too. It is hard to know what is the best course of action, so I do a bit of everything :D
