Regarding the current drama about the power down: honestly this is the first time I'm really worried about the future of Steem. The development of the platform is stagnating, pretty much since I joined and the leadership (aka. Ned) made a lot of suboptimal decisions regarding future developments. In a bull market this is not a problem, but when the bears are here and stay for a while. As it seems they are going to hibernate, prolonging the crypto winter even longer, since Chinese New Year is traditionally a time when crypto markets are going down.
Ok, I'm a bit losing my point here, but what I want to say is that the future of Steem doesn't look too bright, because it is slowly losing its first mover advantage and that would really be a pity. The ironic thing is that even there are a lot of questionable things going on, the price of Steem was actually increasing during the last two weeks.
i think i've been worried about the future of steem the moment ned talked about whitelisting because that's what dictators do and he didn't even realize it. this was like last june and ever since i felt like he was a ticking time bomb.
he created an echo chamber with a bunch of yesmen and dicksuckers. he is clueless why people wanna fork him out.
dan was probably the last line of defense against ned's dictatorship but i don't think he had much power within stinc. it's no surprising that he said steem was unfixable when he left.
The thing about the yesmen is that a platform like Steem fosters this kind of pandering or cult of personality, when you have a big stake people will always compliment you, in the hope of getting a big fat upvote.

Also check out Dan's views on the state of STINC:
Honestly, looking at Steem in its current state, I think that forking out STINC would be bad, because I think that in the current bear market the community would not be able to carry the development on its own. Also the whole onboarding process would be much more difficult (SP delegation for new members).
About Ned: he didn't show much foresight (announcing SMTs towards the end of the big ICO craze or declaring Steem's Application Specificity an advantage for creating DApps, including an IMHO rather odd ASIC analogy), but still I think that "kicking" him out would solve the core problems of Steem, like getting more new users and making them stay on the platform. If Ned really gets forked out, Steem will always be the blockchain, which kicked out its founder and I don't think that this is appealing for new users or investors.
Looking how Steem developed during the last year and how well known it is (even within the crypto community), I think that Steem will one day become the crypto MySpace.
mostly i agree. except i think the ability to kick out a dick-tator like ned is something very positive for new/existing users. maybe less so to similar minded dictators who wanna control everything, the kim jong uns and neds of the world. it might look bad for the short term but if this goes through it'll be steem's very first step towards decentralization cuz right now it's so centralized around stinc it makes fb's centralization look like nothing.
but yea if it takes crypto myspace to get rid of ned i'd say it's worth it, even if it means death of steem.
anything to get rid of the dicator, at all costs. as long as ned is around the "death spiral" isn't gonna stop and steem will die 100%. so might as well try something new.
Something has to be done, I'm also for STINC fading out in the long run, but I think that for now Steem needs STINC for further development of the blockchain.
And yeah, Ned didn't handle this situation too well (again) and he seems to really be afraid of losing his power and influence on Steem.
yes he should be very afraid cuz he's obsessed with the power the stake has given him. exactly how kim jong il used to be paranoid about keeping his power and doing absolutely anything & everything. you have no choice but to exhort to more and more dictatorship.
Lol, so funny to learn tgat you are the Chinese new year hater huh? Thats not in common though. Some of them will just take a break and go travel the whole CNY period, it might work for you?
yea the pic you saw was an old one when she was a kitten.
korean relatives are no fun. all they do is judge each other and talk shit with zero productivity.
haha your cat looks spooked in each of those photos, like it was caught red-handed [ red-pawed? ] doing something bad xD
I didn't know that about the Chinese New Year & the divorce rates. Maybe it's time you spark a revolution and just show up to your family like "What's up. I did nothing, and I just play games & eat chicken all day. Fight me." lol.
lol when she tries to eat human food and gets caught she actually does a spooked reaction. i can't capture it in video or photo cuz it's so spontaneous but it really happens 😆
i'm actually thinking about doing exactly that. chill and drink and do nothing in the chinese new year.. i also gotta be prepared for all the shit people are going to give me.
i used to like dtube a lot. way back when i first started using steem. but it's way too centralized and heavily influenced by ned who's not a leader at all. but i'll use it from time to time :)
hahaha the face of the cat is so surprising. Sometimes I do not understand why you have to wait for a particular date to meet as a family, but it usually happens a lot.
yes exactly. if you really care about your family you don't need the holidays to meet up :)
it's like there's a bunch of relatives that i barely know and all the sudden for a few days they're supposed to be my best friends? i don't get it ㅇ_ㅇ
I hate any big family gatherings your so right about everybody being so fake @roundbeargames I can see why you get so anxious I am the same.
lol yes and korean families tend to be extra fake about themselves 😆
i can't understand why they wanna stress out each other

at least i'm happy that people are now seriously talking about forking steem without ned's giant stake which is disproportionately large compared to his lack of skills in any area. it lets me know that this community is still kinda strong and they wanna embrace decentralization. at least some of them.

i only see 2 options.
otherwise yea, steem has no future.

허니버터 아몬드는 고소함에 달콤함이라 괜찮았는데, 와사비 아몬드는 어떨지 모르겠네요. 고소함과 매콤함이 어울릴지... 역시 먹어봐야 아는 거겠지요?
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 뭐라고 설명하기 힘든 요상한 맛이요. 달긴 또 엄청 달아요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한번 도전해보세요~

i absolutely hate it lol
not the holiday itself but how people treat it.
if i go somewhere else i'm considered a heretic. absolutely hate it 😆
Hehe! Funny you're a friend.
Why do you say that they gather to pretend to live the life of relatives?
Isn't gathering with relatives and family fun?
This is a black cat that is now grown up huh?
yea the pic you saw was an old one when she was a kitten.
korean relatives are no fun. all they do is judge each other and talk shit with zero productivity.
Ah, I see.
I understand now
haha your cat looks spooked in each of those photos, like it was caught red-handed [ red-pawed? ] doing something bad xD
I didn't know that about the Chinese New Year & the divorce rates. Maybe it's time you spark a revolution and just show up to your family like "What's up. I did nothing, and I just play games & eat chicken all day. Fight me." lol.
Take care man :-)

I also like dtube, hope you also feel at home with dtube and become a family
