Thanks for your response. And BTW, this is a very well written article with a lot of good points that I agree with.

Well, the first thing we all saw was the announcement by @ned, and then we saw tweets from Sun indicating there was gonna be a wholesale integration of Steem into Tron, and our money replaced with some new token.

I think that was mostly PR myself. Playing to his Tron crowd and the markets in general. That's how I saw it myself at the time anyway. After all, he is a business man that's well known for his marketing skills - so it was to be expected. People put way too much emphasis and faith in one tweet and comment and came to some interesting and unfounded conclusions. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm cautious about it too. But without more to go on, what's the point in going ape shit like some are doing.

We'll let them catch up with new facts as they are able, and get up to speed.

I think it would have been wise and responsible for many to do this first, rather than be whipped up into a frenzy without much information and continue to spread the same initial FUD. That was my real point here.

But like I said, I think many are just being opportunistic about it all. Trying to make hay while the sun still shines (oops pardon the pun).

Anyway I chose to come to your post and comment, because I knew you would give a measured and well calculated response...so thanks:)
