Pretty sure you've dun gone and nailed it dude....... It will either crash and burn or nothing will change. but that could be said about most ventures such as steemit. Is his power down the beginning of something or nothing at all. It is also his money.... Which he can do with as he pleases.... Maybe he's upgrading something - buying a house - property - A small island - Investing his own money back into steemit .inc so it can finally expand and update stuff like not being able to comment on something while i resteem it / allow added curation to resteeming by having the resteem being its own post / with a separate vote option....... just some thoughts.

no doubt this move will send chills down spines of some on the platform - "What does he know" - "Is there now a ticking clock" "who else is going to powerdown" "Should I?" "Maybe I'll do it just to be safe" "Maybe once i do it changes will happen" "I'll just hodl" " Maybe its the time to buy" "Just a grand" "What could go wrong".

I'm here for the long haul. So long as there is access to the chain/ platform ill be posting - Even if the price tanks - Posted for long time before I started seeing earnings - Will continue to post even if the earnings dry up. Because this is fun for me.

The only way I would ever worry is if he continued to power down and dumped everything........ But thats never going to happen...... Right?
