First, I wrote the message with a regular pen instead of a sharpie. In the future, I'll use a sharpie and probably a cool color like purple.
Second, I will not advocate taking ETC from the foundation and reallocating it somewhere else. They are the rightful owners of those funds and can do whatever they want with them. It frankly isn't my concern.
Third, I have no clue if the foundation has liquidated their ETC or held it. I assume they currently have some, but I have no idea.
Finally, Steemit is an interesting concept. I'm not sure I'm sold on the economics- in particular the incentive to buy Steem. But I do like any attempt to change the reddit model, fund content creation, deal with spam more productively and prevent censorship of voices.
Thank you for all the honest answers.
