We'll soon see. I expect EIP to be implemented soon, perhaps even HF21.  Will that be enough to shake off all the fleas that parasitize the whales?  (one perspective, advocated by bidbots), or enough to eliminate the market that makes the stake of whales have value?  (my perspective).  My view predicts that implementing EIP will quickly reduce the value of Steem and drop it's rank on CMC.  In the event that is the result of EIP, I do hope that the rapine profiteers that have plagued Steem from the beginning will join the exodus, and perhaps allow socially positive corrections to be rapidly implemented in the aftermath.
