I had briefly ended my power down specifically because of Dan Larimer's long term vision and faith in his ability to steer development. Now that he is leaving Steemit I no longer can know what will happen to Steem development from here.
So now I must power down. This looks like game over for Steem.
The news of Dan Larimer leaving Steem is here: https://steemit.com/steem/@dan/today-i-submitted-my-resignation-to-steemit-inc
And Dan Larimer is powering down. https://steemdown.com/
