steemit inc should be forth coming with informations regarding their power down as this might be percieved the wrong way and cause chaos as more people could start selling off steem because of this but be that as it may , they are the biggest shareholder so they wouldnt want to do anything that is detrimental to the steem blockchain, seems like they are just redistributing steem but this would be more effectively done by steem power delegations instead of powering down.
