And people, to no fault of their own, double dipping on coins. In 13 weeks when all the actually users/voters have left, double dipping will be less attractive and will also stop. Especially if the token price falls.

I'm guilty of (I think this is what you're referring to.) double dipping. I'm posting here and on Steem. Since I kinda have more faith in large groups of individuals over singular persons tho.... I'm posting here first and engaging more here. I'm simply doing my regular posts on Steem and if anyone engages with me, I'll respond... but I'm not going over the top to read and engage over there like I am here. I'm more interested in the new things than the older anyhow. I know Steem, I know it well. This place is something which is essentially new. It's fresh. I love new things. I love fresh things. :)

I've also traded Hive for Steem, shamelessly. It was 2:1, I was able to get 2 Steem for every Hive. With a future so uncertain on either end of the spectrum... I just switched what I could out of both, to BTS, because I felt it had more functionality in the long term and would retain far more value if it were to crash, than either of these. I will not, however, be powering down my Hive. I will be growing it from here on out. I'll also continue to grow my Steem tho. I think it's just wise to keep up with both currently, with both futures being so uncertain in the short-term. There is no clear and concise path to take and while some feel there is, I feel that there is potential for anything to happen and that we should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. Call me overly cautious, idk, but I'd like to know that if one or the other tanks... I've not missed out on my earnings on the other. I'd like to ensure that I am not wasting time, while trying to do something that I've come to enjoy a good bit in my life.

Oh. Absolutely. No one is blaming anyone. You got to do what you got to do. But I think the incentive to post on steem will drop over the next 12-13 weeks as people power down.

The only activity on Steem is @haejin back to farming, Splinterlands and Steem-Engine. Only two of these provides any value to the future of the community hah.

And maybe NextColony, SteemNova and HolyBread.

NextColony is calling it a day after this 'season'

apologies, but it's a steem link

Season V has started. This is the final season on the Steem blockchain. We will abandon Steem after this season.

The whole project will be open source after the final season. So everyone is free to use the code for a new project or to continue NextColony on the Steem blockchain. Shortly after the last season is over, we will shut down the servers and insert the GitHub links in this post.

So they are shutting down the game? This is sad news. They should migrate to the Hive blockchain, as many other dApps done. Now I feel like I wasted my time on the game, because I have not achieved anything meaningful in the game. I only upgraded buildings and skills. I have not even had the chance to build an Explorer ship to explore the galaxy and earn Stardust (SD). The Explorer ship requires level 20 ship skill, level 13 shipyard building skill, level 13 shipyard building skill. I started upgrading the ship skill from level 19 to level 20 literally now. It will take 08:37:08. Yes. 8 hours, 37 minutes, 8 seconds. The progress in this game is slow. So probably many other players are in similar shoes. The shutting down of NextColony is another huge disappointment on the Steem blockchain.
