You're right, and the fact that the Steem price has not absolutely cratered in the past few days is absolutely stunning. There have been some oddly well timed dumps on Bittrex that just happened to coincide perfectly with steemit.com getting taken offline... and Steem held its ground. I've been in the crypto space for years now and have never seen anything like this. The security issues were more like stress testing, and Steem passed with flying colors. So while you have a very good point, I would argue the outcome was actually positive. Lots of attention and a very, very resilient share price. Amazing!
