We all realize that we are adapting fast to the problems and the Synereo vs Steemit debate, did actually Steemulate the activity. We now have Promoted content and Boost payment.
The readers will make wrong assumptions...We don't have these futures because of the debate! They where working on these things weeks before the debate. Except you think they intra-day panic-code futures only when debates like this happens... A good way to have a feeling of coding activity is to visit https://github.com/steemit/steem/ and specially take a look to open and close issues... I don't see less activity prior the "debate"... Correct me if I am wrong.
You are not wrong i did not mean to link both information are independant and correct.
I've been reading every discussion from github for a while (getting all mail notifications)
Of course i agree it does not necessary depend on the synereo debate but the timing is there.
Having promoted content commit so fast in the same time AMP( synereo amplify) bump x2 its value few days before the start.
Quite interesting coincidence though but i dont feel like its intraday panic code features much more a global vision anticipation
