If you want to support Hive and make it the best it can be and have the resources to be a witness, go for it! You know you have my vote if you do.
I do believe the top witnesses have seen first hand what community support behind a witness can do with the Steem crap that went on. So hopefully we see some changes in the way witnesses do things here on Hive. I think we as a community can strive to make this a better blockchain and support the witnesses that want the best for the community.
