Yes the balance is good. Actually I rely on your blogs and vlogs in order to stay current. I just claimed my PAL tokens so that's cool.
I'm still a bit concerned about the next hard fork because I am thinking that BIG corporate investors can buy massive amounts of SP under the current economic model and reward their communities.
When I met the team from @oracle-d at Decentralized in Athens last October I think that that was their pitch to big investors.
Thanks for letting me know! and I do share that concern too. But for now, I'm going to wait until the 'new' curve is announced and see what it looks like first before speculating more about it. Let's see!
