It will be very strange if they hold their Steem outside of Steem. Inflation will eat their money ? Maybe there is some other project, which will give them a better return on their Steem.

Thanks for the report :)
You are right, holding a lot of liquid Steem can be costly with inflation over time. But if your thinking about selling soon, it's better to get liquid since it takes 13 weeks to fully liquidate.
