I broke down and dumped back to SBD. I am looking to hold Steem leading up to or soon after the econ update but I think trying to snipe it at the lowest point before or after the change might be best. I wonder if it will bottom out after the powerdown time gets shortened or before. I am probably going to guess before and buy in maybe a day before the next hardfork. I have been lurking the github to get an idea for the time frame as many of you probably have been. I suspect whenever a release candidate is announced we might see a bounce but then the week leading up to the fork it may dump. I see the same trend with news related crypto movement every time. I think the increased confidence in Steem after the change will offset the Incresed powering down. If it goes to 13 weeks they may have to cancel the Steemit powerdown after a few weeks but it will result in so much liquid Steem it could help slightly offset the price rise from the new inflation rate of 10%. After the hype fades though. I have found no matter how high the supply of a thing if nobody wants to sell it cheap it gets expensive. I could see Steemit being something like that. Especially once there is more competition here for us bloggers and since after the econ update we will be presumably getting less "Steem per post" but the same or more "total value" This is all speculation of-course in the end I will do what the chart tells me. Or at-least what I think it is telling me. As always, Don't take my advice, do your own due diligence.
