I don't think it's going to die from anyone set of people cashing out.. it's going to die because of competition. Within the next year or so -- the same person that built this project -- is building a new blockchain with the ability for "applications" with human language and cross platform communication at lightning speed = EOS.

Since, I've turned you a new leaf into research (ha ha), go to YouTube and watch Dan speak on his new project now that he's left Steemit. EOS is going to be like "internet FOR the blockchain" only better because we will control all our own various accounts independent and decentralized. EOS tokens are up for grabs right now.. Maybe you start stacking tokens now, while they are cheap.

I've already come across a company building something that competes with Steemit called https://karbon.io/

They aren't totally a blogging platform, but it integrates into something that is a mix between Amazon, a debit card and FB. It's 'bout to get REAL GOOD in blockchain REAL soon. Steemit is just the 1st "Interation" of the Social Blockchain.
