This might shed some light: https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/update-on-unexpected-voting-power-behavior
It's really a waiting game now. Things will be backed to old days (+ additional features) in about 3-4 days.

Thanks, yes. I read that blog right from the beginning. But it was VERY confusing. First of all, Steemit Inc said this:
So I hoped to be part of the declared majority that would recover voting power within a day, YET my voting power rose slowly and now it is clear that it will take the full 5 days. Now some places are saying that everybody will take 5 days to restore voting power.
AND while I was waiting patiently and watching it rise all the way to 50%, it dropped suddenly again down to 30% - which no one prepared me for either.
(And since then it has shot back up and down YET again.)
Now that I FINALLY have figured out what to expect (a 5-day recovery) ... I am fine with waiting patiently. But it did waste a lot of my time trying to figure out what the heck was happening and not knowing what to expect.
I admit that things can get a little jarring unless you follow the announcements and Discord channels closely. Ethereum started with 1/3 of their funds getting stolen and having to do a hard fork resulting in ETH and ETC chains. Look where they stand now. Then check https://blocktivity.info and imagine what STEEM could do.
I followed all the Steemit announcements, as well as some witness updates on Steemit. But I did not know that there were further updates on Discord (unless you are a Witness.)
Yes, I believe that the long-term future for Steem is very good.
