RE: My opinions on the Tron news

Hi @themarkymark, let me throw a "macro thought" at you, immediately ahead of the AMA.

Justin Sun paid $4.5 million to have dinner with mega investor billionaire Warren Buffet. Warren Buffet's made his billions as a value investor who goes into undervalued companies with solid ideas.

Three weeks ago, the two had their dinner. Justin Sun may be many things, but he's not stupid. You don't spend time with "The Oracle of Omaha" and not come away learning something.

Now Justin Sun has — because we don't have a better word for it — acquired an interest in Steemit, Inc. and, by extension, influence over the future of the Steem ecosystem. Steem is highly regarded by many (including Weiss Ratings), but grossly undervalued. It's a great blockchain... with lots of functioning dapps with USERS and many new use cases in the pipeline.

While we were caught in our own storm of news yesterday, yesterday ALSO marked the day Dan Larimer's "Voice" project formally went into public Beta. Interesting timing? Coincidence? Probably not...

Consider the possibility that Justin's move was wanting Tron to compete with (and beat the snot out of) Voice... and the Steemit, Inc. deal was the most viable option to do so. He has the resources to fast track a lot of the developments that have been collecting dust on Steemit, Inc's shelves.

I cannot even begin to comprehend the functional aspects of the Tron/Steem alliance, but my thought is that this was not a move to abandon the Steem blockchain...

Soon enough, we shall know more...
