Exactly. When Steem first started none of us really know what we were doing. One of the few things we figured out is that you needed to mine with multiple accounts, and possibly using all different accounts on different computers. So I figured I would mine a bunch of well known forum names, etc. to protect them from squatters and then turn them over to the original owners. The coins I mined with them I transferred to my main account.

Somebody trusts someone with Steem ranging into 968 USD in value, but regarding Bittrex only doing a test transfer about 1 Steem first

So roundabout "Synereo vs Steem" the Monerians kinda voted for Steem, or am I mistaken?
All of those accounts are mine (except those that have been transferred to the associated person). No Monerians other than me voted or did anything else with steem afaik. I wouldn't even say I "voted" either, I mined it. For all you know I could have bought Synereo tokens too, either at ICO or after (but I haven't). As far as which platform will be successful if any, I really don't know, as I said earlier.
