Standing Still In The Face Of FUD - @ned The CEO Of Steemit Responded To The Power Down

Hey people of steem,

So I asked Hive account@ned why he was powering down and he actually responded. Personally. How cool is that? To those worried that he is jumping ship, he is not. He wants to move his stake around so people don't lose their shit when something happens. Look at the response he is getting from powering down. There are even an article about it from outside of steemit. I hope this helps put an end to this.

Here is his response to my question:

This brings me to another point of FUD. I know people are panicked, especially in this climate where the market is, lets just say, not doing too well. This was expected. It is still a bear market and it might get worse before it gets better. But you know how quickly things can turn. And you are going to be much further ahead if you built up your steem and account now than waited.

If you are wondering what to post keep posting quality content and run contests. Contests really spread out rewards and give direction to users who are not sure what to post about. If we can turn the trending page to a contest page it would be the only place on the internet giving away real cash prizes consistently.

And if you are reading this article outside of steemit setup a account. It is free to post and you can earn rewards for your work. It is the only place I blog on and recommend it for anyone who is established or wants to start their own blog. Plus there are some cool people on here.

And my respect to Hive account@ned for responding.
