Interesting prospective. There new proposed changes did seem to help raise the price. @ned and @dantheman both seem like pretty smart people. I was reading they are planing to stop powering down once the 3 month power down rule is approved by the witnesses.
It seems like they both are self funding this operation too. So I'm not mad if they want to pay themselves for their work.
RE: This is aimed at @ned. He is shooting steemit in the foot for his own gain.
