Amazing to see the price move up as well. Anything so that people won't want to withdraw their Steem from exchanges until the HF is done with and the major exchanges can power down and give back the funds to their users when they aren't worth anything.
I still think it won't be the end of Steem. they will use it to lure people into the space, new people who have never heard about all these recent blunders. It might far surpass hive in price for a while, not because its better or worth more but because the gang will promote it like crazy.
Nobody who invests in Ethereum today remembers the ETH and ETH classic issues back then. Steem is the new horse for the gang, I feel they have big plans for it - not in the spirit of steem's original prospect but - I fear - shadier visions.
