Thanks for the reply Luke. Based on what you said and your tone in the first few minutes of the video, my impression was that you invested some money and you're getting nervous about the prospects of diminishing value. If thats the case, I understand completely. My opinion of the developers is mixed. I admire them for what they have created but I do think the system is flawed. I also think that they know it. Maybe their actions are well intentioned, maybe not. Im starting to think not. Ergo my name calling. Im not one for ad hominem attacks but I have no problem saying it if its true. Im not 100% on this so it was wrong to use such strong terms. I see a domino effect here that is irreversible. The reason i said "you know damn well" is because of you're very astute assessment coupled with what i perceived as nervousness in the beginning. Im having a hard time seeing how their actions help the situation. I apologize for being so belligerent. I allowed my emotions to take over my reason and empathy. Having said that, I remain deeply concerned for people who have invested heavily. Perhaps thats not my burden to bear but I will speak out if i see something going wrong that they dont. Again, great video man. I am leaving steemit but I will subscribe on youtube and keep an eye on your work.

That's understandable, but as you said, that's their burden to carry, not yours or mine. I did invest some money and did so with full understanding it might go to zero. If you scroll back a ways on my blog, you'll see I did a post on how (at the time) Ned could be cashing out $700k a week. That seemed pretty crazy to me. The price of STEEM has since adjusted accordingly and come back to reality a bit. Where it goes from here, who knows, but I've talked to people who have invested larger sums than me at higher prices and still aren't concerned because they are thinking long term.
Or maybe you just perceive something wrong? Our perceptions can be powerful, especially combined with emotions and fears which can distort our reason and logic.
Thank you for your apology and for the kind words about the video. I wish you well, wherever you call home on the Internet or IRL.
