I don't think the only choice is to stand still or push on with tokens from whatever source. Content creators and curators, if they had the delegations dev's have had, would help attract and retain more content creators and consumers. there is massive value in alternative revenue for content creators and consumers, removing the middle man that take the bigger cut....along with censorship resistance, ownership of content and all the other benefits steem has. Im all for progression, but progression in a sustainable way.
