I agree with you on the situation being much more fraught with peril than a lot of people think. I think no agreement will be reached which is when the impasse will continue to the foreseeable future or a hard fork will indeed take place, at which point STEEM will lose at least 90% of its monetary value. We are going to have to start from scratch. But the bright side is that the SMT code is almost done and being tested. All the critical pieces of the puzzle are in place. It will take many years to get where we are now, at best.
