@smooth I'm not being sarcastic when I say that either. On most issues I find I defer to your opinion and you've always been one of my biggest supporters. But here you're misunderstanding my point.

Yes I believe HF-17 helps the price. More importantly it enables businesses to build on top of steem in a way they never could before. This increases adoption. I don't see a down side to any of these changes and more to the point I can see how only grabbing some but not all, could harm the value of the overall package.

I respect your opinion as I always have. We don't see eye to eye on this, but I believe you are right to stand where you are.

This is why I said "if you support HF 17, here's a list of witnesses to vote for it and if you're opposed then here is another list."
