I would be super disappointed with both. All his work for a couple weeks salary? :D

I was assuming "worst case" scenario for both.

There is an emotional attachment to what is used over what sits in a cold wallet. I think this is a good sign for Steem.

Something very true that I haven't put much thought into. People value more what they work for then what they are given. Will be interesting to see how this plays out for Steem.
