“People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can't conquer.”

Here are the facts for now:
- Here's an update from @sneak => @sneak/steemit-com-is-experiencing-a-ddos-attack
- Your wallets are safe (if this is just a DDOS attack on steemit).
- There are still Steem blockchain full-nodes that are functioning and accessible . I have personally tested @gtg => meaning the blockchain is secure => meaning all your steem accounts are secure.
- steemit.com is just a frontend of the steem blockchain meaning if steemit is down it does not necessarily mean we have lost the steem blockchain and our funds in it.
- There are many ways we can access the blockchain. Try asking the witnesses --( that's one ). I created this on my local node.
Your support to the witnesses who maintain the integrity of the blockchain is as crucial as your wallet. If you think I deserve your vote, you may vote @precise as a witness here => https://steemit.com/~witnesses (scroll down to the bottom of that page until you see a similar image below)
