RE: Hardfork: Buckle up. Let's go.
I'm ready for that, but agree there is some nervousness around the release of the hopes that were here to invest in something new.
I experienced that with Whaleshares about a year and a half ago, when hardfork 21 was splitting the community. I wound up investing a lot of energy into trying to get that code set that was supposedly more fair to plankton/minnows going, but essentially the coin is worthless at this point. So I'm a little gun shy about trying it again.
This time there is a much more core part of the STEEM community and a lot more financial and dev resources that seem devoted to the new chain. I definitely see that at this point it is the only rational choice to at least try. Justin can absolutely not be trusted to negotiate in good faith.
Whaleshares was doomed from the beginning I think due to those involved.
Not sure how it is going to pan out, but after 3 years of hard work, I don't have much to show for it at this point - so - swing for the fences? :)
