RE: Thoughts on the Recent Witness Meeting With Tron(Roy)
I believe Justin will fight to regain full control of the blockchain and retain it, and if he fails to do so he will divest at a rate that recoups or makes him as much money as possible.
I’d seen articles about Tron using genesis tokens to control their block producers and basically deleting dApps built on Tron that competed with their own projects, but recent article made me aware of some further aspects of censorship and control.
I don’t think Justin has any intention of participating in a decentralized, censorship resistant blockchain. I believe he may face legal, professional, and personal challenges if he’s seen as an owner or majority stakeholder in a platform that distributes “objectionable” content.
My gut feeling is the intent was always there for full control, and failing that it’ll be nothing. I don’t see a “partnership” with Steem being in Tron’s DNA.
I'm glad to be informed of this particular danger and will be among the first to criticize any limitation on free speech and support forking the chain under those conditions, but as it stands I cannot trust a group of people who will preemptively carve out an account wallet solely because of fear.
