I cannot speak for other founders, but I can tell you I am firmly committed to finding free market solutions to securing life, liberty, and property.  

Founders need to be secure in their own life, liberty, and property in order to make long-term plans without fear of the day to day price movements.  This means diversifying my own investments to make sure that regardless of what happens in the economy and/or steemit, I have the financial stability and safety net.

If 99% of your net worth was tied up in a speculative investment such as Steemit, do you think you would diversify?   

Diversification is *risk management* and has nothing to do with  confidence and/or belief in any given platform.  I believe very strongly in what we are doing here.

Thank you for your reply. I/we appreciate it. 

Listen, I get it. I'm not entitled to any money. It's not mine. I didn't invent this brainchild. Nobody owes me anything. I don't expect a payout. But I'm sticking around. I believe in this thing. I'm friggin' stoked about it. I'll manage to figure it out. 

But just like your powering down doesn't necessarily mean you don't have any stamina, my NOT investing my cold hard cash doesn't mean it either. I've already dumped my meager earnings into SP thus far. I'm in it to win it. 

But if I had come on here less-informed, I might have dumped a fair bit of my own money on the exchange. And then what? I'd be right pissed watching it go to @berniesander's sock puppets.  

@dantheman, what is your plan? @smooth is always sticking up for you. Either he's got some kind of dog in the fight, or he knows you're the real deal. 

In some ways it feels a bit like a pyramid, watching all the trending votes go to users like @msgivings, who are bot-written, bot-voted, and plagiarized. 

I don't want to criticize anything about the platform. I have no room to talk. Last time I was able to invent a blockchain, and a social media platform, and combine them INGENIOUSLY together in a way that self-inflated, while also paid out freely WITHOUT external revenue, inspired others to get some personal freedom from being a part of the model, and cultivated new ways of thinking about our culture--was...well, NEVER. 

I am not worthy. I just want to think that you are the icon I think you are. That's all. Not just a money bag with a genius brain.
