Well, I wouldn´t necessarily conclude from the power down, that he is building a competitor - of course he may see himself as a father who needs to put more attention on his new child and leaving Steem to grow up by itself - which again would not mean for me, that he is abandoning Steem. I do wish though, that there would be more visible working together and common synergy effects between his coins/projects

I dont think he's building a competitor. He's building EOS so that other ppl can build dApps such as a Steem competitor.

Got it! Yes, this may happen, but I won´t worry about this yet, since STEEM itself is just in its infancy and there are many things still to come like SMT. Since EOS is the much broader product, I have the feeling, that most developers will first start to build other dApps and not immediately go for the "blockchain social media king" STEEM.

I agree. I think basic idea for blog sharing on blockchain is fo STEEM only
No one else can compete with it.
