The idea of an extended time period to cash out was to encourage commitment and interaction on the platform. It worked for a little while. It's actually pretty interesting how quickly the community aspect fell apart once the power down period changed to 13 weeks from 2 years.
I am a little intrigued by so many people powering down though...
yeah, I’m kinda intrigued by the rumor of steemit 2.0, launching sometime in the near future. where would that leave this one?! So, I’m heading out before I’ll find out.

what does that mean? Steemit 2.0 would still be built on Steem? Therefore, all of the power that you have here would be directly transferable to the new one.. if it's a new platform and new underlying currency, then yes, your existing value here would become "worthless"
