Idea 1 is good. Idea 2 is bullox
Frankly a powerdown would be 10, 20 or even 30 years if it were up to me with a huge interest payment for you, while not powering down.
Quit investing short term. Investments like this should be for the long term. But I also agree, they need to turn the printing presses of a spell and catch a breather.
Too much steem is keeping people away.
They see the price slide and slide without any break and they believe that in the future it will be much cheaper to buy steem. So they hold off on buying and then they forget.
We need to make the price of steem make the news. Don't threaten a fork though, it'll adversely impact the price for everyone and your fork won't gain traction due to all the people pissed off you crashed the price of their investment.
No reason you couldn't spin your own though and even do an ico.
