@egjoshslim Thanks for the vigilance.
All I can say is that most of us here do not have to travel or maintain a company that is involved in the steemit blockchain. I imagine there are expenses that steemit.inc has that we as regular users do not.
I do not believe @ned would travel half way across the World, or put his face all over STEEM and then not BELIEVE. I do not know him personally nor am I a mind reader, and I am on steemit of my own free will.
RE: So steem is going mental. Someone just dumped many thousand though. (Price will rise regardless)
