Has Dan Larimer given up on creating a Steemit on EOS. If he does, Steem is finished. Traffic is already decreasing in anticipation. I don't think this coin has a bright future, Steemit has been mismanaged and it's hard to fix what's broken.
Guess he will bring the few things he has learned from steemit over to the new one he is currently building on EOS. Seems one of the most important lesson he probably has learned is the issue of trolls and bots.
Steemit has done pretty well. If it were possible, he should merge it with the new one on EOS blockchain.
