Now that we are experiencing "tough times" as steem value is quite low, keeping witness operation is even more meritorious. Thanks for the update.

Thanks, and it really is tougher (financially speaking) as I'm now literally supporting my nodes with outside funds. But I learned that sticking to your commitments usually pays back.

At the current prices I'm subsidizing. Top 19 witnesses should be solvent even at lower prices, but as you go down the list things may get hairy...

that is the real danger. Although we have many witnesses but how long they can operate with losses would remain a big question mark.

can i get your opinions on this? https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitdev/upcoming-changes-to-api-steemit-com
cuz at this point i feel like steemit inc is only capable of doing more harm than good.

Resteemed on behakf of mr. Samer@red-rose.

Ok ok ok life is good and steem is still strong and  our hearts are bloody working....well.

My evil says .... So the result is simply... pump more steem to your account on hope that after few hundred of years ...steem might reach 6 USD  again.😁😁😂😂👹😈

No no no.. my angle says.... pump more steem into your account to enjoy great community and yes in few years steem will reach levels near to 3 USD

I say ...fuck you btc... you have fucked all crypto coins .

It's too early for that, but if things continue to go south, we may hit a blockchain halt simply because there aren't enough witnesses. 

Theoretically, the network can be run with witness nodes set up in a single data center, by a single person, but once this happens (and the word goes out) bye-bye decentralization of Steemit.
