Thanks, @metzli ... my concern was that certain people now in possession of things here were holding the coin out of trading, and over 13 weeks, given that a ton of people are going to power down and get out, I reckon that my Steem will be worth a lot less in 13 weeks. Turned out it was just certain exchanges, and Blocktrades opened up the Steem/Hive trading option today -- so, the way is open.
