Dear @dan

@steemdrive stands behind your public statement; this kind of negative media will fade but more may sprout up again, unfortunately that is the nature of things to come as Steemit garners more attention.

What the crypto community fails to understand is it that if one major project suffers, they all suffer and the only thing their FUD media would have achieved is delayed public adoption of blockchain initiatives in general.

Take for example the DOA saga, the Ethereum index prices took a tumble and so did bitcoin and a few others to the best of my knowledge. I know that in the realm of fiat, when there is alarming news about a particular emerging market country, all other emerging market currency indices suffer as a result of them being classified in a similar risk category.

The top Digital Assets shouldn't be competing with one another, but rather jointly spreading the message of blockchain and supporting each other to achieve greatness and increased public adoption.

Rest assured @steemdrive is in support of you and Steemit, we have created a private "war room" channel in Slack dedicated to planning and brainstorming positive, mass visibility projects for Steemit.com which will help negate the negative media.

We already have liaison operatives willing to commence the campaign in countries such as New Zealand, Portugal, Netherlands and the US states of Alabama, Chicago, Michigan and Virginia, to name a few. An official list will be compiled in the days to follow.

I will now vote for your public address post with all the posting keys I hold and will vote with @steemdrive at the end of my campaign when its voting power would have increased.

"Amandla! Ngawethu!" .... "The Power! Is ours!"
