I note that on PALnet there are no mined stakes that enable capture of rewards, unlike Steem. This is a pretty fundamental difference, and I expect that EIP will exaggerate that difference. It will be interesting to observe the results.
I have completely opposite expectations than do you, for reasons I have repeated ad nauseum, and will forego here.
In the event HF21 is catastrophic, I hope to hear from you regarding how market cap has declined, users continue to hemorrhage, and Steem price fallen further. Also, in such event, how do you think PALnet would be impacted?
