Enjoyed your content "Upvoted & Resteemed" in the 23rd Hour! ;) Sorry, I have no cats, but here's a Funny Meme of my Dog:
That out of the way, I agree on the 7 day thing & why is there no talk about Referral Codes? 97% or more of the SP I now hold is 'self invested', believing in the platform. Honestly I've made more $$$ with the Referral Code from Coinbase to my friends - than trying to interest them in Steemit on FB. Now the potential "Rob-in-the-hood" of what minor earnings from posting get taken out to the tune of 38%. Makes one wonder (at times) Why Try?
If anything I've learned here it's about the meaning of "currency" and how to better use it in a digital format. I figured out how Poloniex works. I don't see the 'short term' benefit to this next Hardfork - I see the chef quote in this "When you See the Fork in the Road... Take It!".
haha, that is a lovely dog indeed!
As for referral codes, I tend to agree. It would definitely bring some more people on board. It might look a little scammy tho, and that is not good for Steemit at this very moment.
I am not seeing any short-term value in this fork yet as well. I just hope that devs are seeing a bigger picture and that it is a beautiful picture. Forking for the sake of forking would be unprofessional, to say the least.
And thanks for you support and resteem!

Scammy did not keep my friends from earning $10 BTC @ $634 in November 2016, and I am sure not 'sad' about the earnings I received from them back then. 7 out 10 now have a Shift Card. (Though we are far from that here on this platform) I do know that it was effective marketing, far more than the promise these days of "Getting Paid to Post".
I am not negative about Steemit in the long-term. I hold much more on Poloniex now. I am even conflicted - Power Up, Power Down? I think for now - Power Down, because it is trade-able. Why Vest & Rest when there is no positive outcome to this next fork? I will make far less money 'lending it' to the governance of Steemit then I will trading it. It's like the question of should I just give an 11 month + loan to the IRS, only to get it back (UN-invested) for the sake of belief that the United States is "My Flag waving Country"? Nope!
Thank you for the positive comment on "Digger". (My Dog) I will still continue to post here on Steemit. I will wonder if "Whales" will get off their lazy bums and stop eating the "New Fish". IMHO

You should probably vote with your "Feet". If I read this article, in context Steemit is going to shoot it's active users in the foot. Never a goodthing for something so new on the internet.

True, if you get money all the scammy talks do not sound that bad anymore. However, you know that majority of people are not that open trying new things...
I am also thinking about powering down and having my Steem in a liquid form. My SP cannot influence anything, so I might rather go on and trade around it, so I could make some extra cash.
This fork might look really negative at the moment, but we will see. I also believe in Steemit future or I would not be here anymore. However, I see so many things to be improved, of which, marketing is the most important.
