I think this is a great move on your side. Steem is already picking up steam (:P) in terms of market-share due to its ease of use. Steem Dollars gaining more traction can really help fight back its volatility to some degree, which would only help the situation, as it's not too pretty on that front right now.

As for the potential of gaining Steem/SBD on an exchange that allows fiat exchange? That'd be great for the growth of steemit, as many of the people coming here actually need to use the money they earn here in real life, and most of the ways to move currency to fiat right now require way too many steps along the way, multiple sites to operate, and are just cumbersome.

It'd definitely increase the adoption of Steemit as a platform, which in turn could help its coin and tokens to gain value.

So, worthwhile investment of the power invested in you by the userbase.

One thing I'd like to add - contentious material is often something you do want to promote, because the discussions it generates can lead to people considering the matter more fully, and then to forward progress. Just not content made with the intent to anger people...

Important stuff is almost always contentious, so don't shy away from it. Just judge when you think it'll benefit the community to discuss it.
