Hey @curatorcat, I love your reply. I think you know more than me btw ;) .... Who knew cats were that smart :P

Seriously my issue in the comment was about the "management" aspect only. In other words a top 20 witnesses are the only people with a voice to make changes and upgrades. If they aren't 100% serving Steemit only, then the potential for conflict of interests arises. That doesn't mean that they will do anything wrong and I'm sure there are some very fine people that are in this group. But just like in the real world, no company would ever let their highest ranking decision makers also work for their competition. You might be right that they aren't going to compete, but from everything I've read there are already plans for "steemit 2.0" on EOS. That doesn't mean they will win if there is a competition, but it does mean that our top 20 witnesses in both camps will be conflicted. In other words, at best they would have to "recuse" themselves from any conflicting issue decisions; or at worst they can pick and choose which shareholders to benefit most.

Its just messy and unnecessary.

I do agree that people (including these witnesesses) can invest in both platforms. My issue lies solely in the fact that they make choices and decisions that make things work.

Thanks again for your awesome comment! And once again tell your human that you are one smart kitty!
