Yeah - there's no reason to be in Steem Power if you don't want to hold long-term. The problem isn't that powering down takes too long. The problem is that the initial "investors" are trying to cash out before the platform can sustain itself - because it's still in beta/development.
The largest stakeholders have jumped the gun on selling and now they want to be let off the hook for it. If they were worried about bringing in new investors, they would not have started dumping their holdings so quickly.
Steemit isn't ready for what has been happening with powering down and dumping on the external market. It's just that simple.
