I thought 50/50 meant 50% STEEM/STEEM Power and 50% SBD, not 50% author and 50% curator. STEEM has drop 20% today, I am not sure what this means for Steemit. However, we are still in Beta and there is always going to be growing pains/change of direction. Regardless of what happens, Steemit is a groundbreaking concept in giving content creators the power to control their own destiny. I don't believe that Steemit will go the way of the Dodo.
