Supply is not reduced, Justin can't vote but he can sell the stake.

He can't power down his stake.

I didn't understand this from the other posts. This is mindblowing.

I now go from against it to completely against it.

Yeah, it's not a good look.

They will have to come to agreement to unfreeze. That will be interesting to see.

Very interesting indeed. And then what? When he starts power down, will they freeze the funds again?

  • obviously this is not done because of racial backgrounds.
  • the circulating supply has not been altered.
  • whether the stake will be unfrozen depends on future talks and consensus. Let's see. If the witnesses were all paranoid and (for example) Tron is fine with having the stake (for example) be transferred to steem.dao for community projects, then all is good and decentralization wins the day!
  • this was not a hack. The code is submitted on an open-source public github account, run on several testnets with biggest participation rate of individuals on testnets seen since beginning of Steem development and then finally released and updated by a supermajority of witnesses, as can be seen in the utmost right column on https://steemd.com/witnesses
