We have come a long way to give up now. Steem is a brand and what we have been doing so far is protecting that brand. The pushbook members are solidly behind you on this from what I've observed. I'm not sure why the big guys have refused to support our project when they are aware it will benefit us all in the end. I understand how you feel, but our hardwork so far has not been fruitless. You have all my support at anytime bro. I suggest we keep calling out on the top guys while awaiting the outcome.
If you ask me, I wouldn't want you to leave.
Cheers!
