I see I am seeing this post too late, been busy with a stray kitty at home so could not follow all this drama on time but it affects me,as can't use exchanges to withdraw steem, thankfully steem-engine helped , just shows that decentralised system like dex helps...
Although, yes duty is to support quality content, can't but wonder if steem is reaching its bottom. It's not correct to feel your funds won't be safe in other blockchain platforms because of this Steem case, because centralisation attack took place, there will always be blockchain platforms where your funds would be safe.
I am glad @project.hope is still continuing on without geting bogged down, because this instance was really harsh and nasty but we move on.
I hope HIVE thrives though, a off shoot of Steem, standing for things that steem could not, atleast our funds here that's airdropped from Steem will be growing hopefully, along with the HIVE platform ofcourse. Not taking sides it's the only option now.
