Steemit Bailing On Steem? They Are Already Partnered With Tron
Steemit Inc is powering down and moving their stake. Ned is already doing this.
We are told, for the Steemit accounts, that it is in defense of a possible Fork to remove Steemit's stake. This could be very true.
Although, as always, the optics look bad.
This could be much ado about nothing but, again, without any communication from Steemit, we are left to speculate. As we all can see, the timing makes one wonder.
Tron listed Steemit as a partner on their advertising material for niTROn 2019. Now we all know "partner" could mean a lot of things but it is something that should raise some eyebrows.
My question is why no announcement out of Steemit about this? I would think that this is something to promote especially considering the negativity surrounding this company the last couple months.
I understand that, at times, things need to be kept quiet while negotiations are taking place. However, as we can see, the people over at Tron have no issue announcing it. Also, even though the dates are last week, ordering materials like this for an event takes place well in advance. This means it was not something that went down a week or two ago.
So what is the deal?
Perhaps it is time to start talking about this.
Again, there could be a reasonable explanation for this and it could be a move that helps both Steemit Inc and the Steem blockchain. Maybe Steemit Inc donated some money as a means of promotion. There is no way to tell at this point.
The optics on this, nonetheless, are very poor.
Just another in the expanding list of things surrounding Steemit Inc.

I still don't understand what's the issue here. What's the problem if Steemit Inc doesn't announce it? it's a private company. I personally don't care if they do it or not, we really need to stop being so paranoid about what Steemit Inc does. We need to go our own way.

I think the point is that it's really good news so it's surprising they haven't said anything.. .especially at a time that everyone is down on them.
This company has a huge importance in the current Steem eco-system. They are the providers of the Number one dapp on Steem in terms of users. Also, the community depends on them to deliver SMT's which they have time and time again promised to deliver.... We were at 50% done at the end of November...
And now they are sponsoring Tron??? Having so little money left that they have to scrap 70% of their work force, with 12 people left?
This looks to me like if they are looking for a Tron sponsor to implement Steemit.com based on Tron. Looks like they are doing a dlive...
How pathetic... I hated it seeing @ned playing the guitar while he should have been advancing SMT development.
I expect Steemit Inc to clarify this as soon as possible... I am really pissed off that they did not explain or mention it... smells like shit...
To be honest, the community is as to blame as Steemit Inc, we have a lot of witnesses just sitting there on top chilling. Most of them did not do a thing for over a year and just care about how to get more money. The recent events really showed us that witnesses can FUD too. As for Ned, he is like Zuckerberg, but without an army of skilled marketers, managers, etc. Being in public was never his strongest point and he needs to understand that.
In addition to that, I don't like the fact that Steemit Inc is helping some projects, because this will generate projects-rentier-state-like. The community will get too comfortable and the innovation and hard work will gradually start to decline. Maybe Steemit Inc powering down is what it takes to wake up the community. Because going after Steemit Inc stakes was a lazy move to get things going.
People try to make news out of nothing most times
Tron's founder recently tweeted and wanted to know of a good project and steemians spammed steem of course. He then directly tweeted to Ned who responded.
I think this is the fruits of that tweet storm.
This happend long before the fork drama

This is the thread I am referring too.
Yes I am sure it did. That is why I mentioned the sign. That does not happen in a week or two.
The question is why no announcement from Steemit and what is the "partnership". The reality is they might be in talks on something and Steemit donated a few bucks to help their conference.
But then again, it could mean something different.
A simply announcement like "we partnered with Tron to help with the cost of their conference and as a platform to promote Steem" would have sufficed.
We shall see what comes out of this.
Probably because tron is a scam :)

Sounds like @ned is pulling a Dlive. Even if he's not he's still a piece of shit in my book
only thing we all know is Ned is not a leader
@andrarchy gave a presentation on Steem at the summit that may have helped attract new users & developers. https://steemit.com/blakestorie/@blakestorie/my-first-steemit-post-blake-storie
I’m not reading much more into it than that. I’m sure Ned and Justin connecting on a Twitter could have led to the invite. There are synergies popping up elsewhere too. The Fundition team seems to be embracing Tron transactions while not abandoning Steem.
At this point, we tend to see that Steemit Inc will not change their lack of communication and transparency!
Tron will definitely market all these things it does everywhere, so they won't have a problem annoucing about their partnership with steem.
I guess it must be that steem is promoting itself sponsoring something for marketing its brand coz Tronics is popular conference, but again they don't have money right, lays offs and stuff so I don't know what this partnership exactly is.
Now, for past few days been noticing price of Steem is rising. That is some positive.
