@pandorabox had a great write up on EOS and I like how you made an informed speculation.

The thought is in @dan's mind to fork the STEEM blockchain. This would allow him to do a couple things. He could integrate that fork with EOS if that is his intention. Also, he could create an airdrop based upon accounts between 100 and 100K SP. The reason for the 100 is to not reward spam accounts and the 100K puts an upper limit. Accounts that have over 100K SP would simply get paid the max. Thus, 600K SP accounts become the same as 100K on the new chain. (Or the number could be 50K, 25K or even 10K)

That could be a promising development if that is what to happen.

Now the thing is EOS and whatever iteration of Steem 2.0 it will show will still be a couple of year or maybe a year from now.

At that time a lot of new condensers, applications and features would have been implemented.

I already have a couple of EOS and plan to create an account there as well but not to the point that I would stop using Steem.

It could be good to have competition as it would make both systems try harder.
