What if it was in Mega Corp X interest to take down steemit? It's not unusual for corps to try to buy out competitors.

Since Steem and Steemit are open-source softwares, we could start again in that not likely case. Even Mega Corp X has not infinite money to buy out every relaunched Steem clone.
From a buyout, the brand would suffer, but not the idea.
