We as blockbrothers just don't understand why so many witnesses for Steem are euphoric about the mainnet of EOS coming online.

Of course, It's a great achievement and the network might go and do great things.

But shouldn't the loyalty of a witness lie with one blockchain?

Especially when these blockchains have a governance model.

How can a witness be fully committed to Steem if that same witness is also committed to Bitshares and EOS?

How does that even work?

It's like trying to eat three pussies at the same time. None of them will be satisfied.

10% of the reward pool goes to witnesses.

The top 20 witnesses get around a 100,000 STEEMPOWER each every year.

We are talking $170,000 here under current prices.

You can do so much with that income. 

Like running a full node for the blockchain ($10k a year).

We know improvements are coming but they are not here yet. 

What is all the powerdowned STEEM used for otherwise?

The blockbrothers witness has never powered down, neither did any of the members.

Everything we pay for comes from our own pocket.

All the servers, the development for Steemify, All of it.

We believe in this blockchain and only this blockchain.

WE WILL GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP IF WE ARE WRONG.

We urge you to vote for loyal witnesses that care about this blockchain and this blockchain alone.

We care.
