You make a very strong point, @kafio. If even top witnesses are powering down and selling, it sends the wrong signal to the rest of the community. But remember that witnesses also withdraw steem to cover expenses. Belief in Steem is key — those who see it as a long-term investment will continue to build their SP, while others will sadly treat it only as daily income. We need more examples of people holding and showing confidence in the future of Steem.
