I am dissapointed that the negotiations have failed, which is the case for sure once a fork is done. Steem already died a slow death before Justin Sun. A new beginning does bring new chances, but there are just no gurantees at all for a success in the future.

Development, investors, exchanges will be important for the new blockchain. I am a bit worry that steem could fail in general after a split. It might could be that Justin Sun won't go anywhere and the old community with the new blockchain get thit by the same fate after the fork. 

Risky times for content creators and inventors lies ahead.
