The number selling off. If there are a ton trying to get it, it will crash a lot faster.
I'm not sure if a Steem headed by Steemit has a future. For a project to be successful, they need to be able to acknowledge their faults. Either we need more developers separate from Steemit or they need to change. We can't keep having issues where they just deny that they're a problem.
The same thing happened when there was an issue with bandwidth. They completely denied that there was any issue for a long ass time and when they did address it, they just did a weak ass patch to the issue, rather than adjusting the numbers, so it actually effected spammers more than just everyone with low SP.
