Never a dull moment, to be sure.

On the surface, the action taken makes plenty of sense:

1. The Ninja Mined stake has always been a question mark
2. Justin Sun allegedly recently used stake to to engage in shady witness voting on the TRON network
3. Ned possibly sold Steemit, Inc. to Justin without full disclosure
4. Justin now holds enough stake to "centralize" Steem/Steemit

That's simple enough.

What it might mean down the road is, of course, not nearly as clear. If Justin, indeed, is a bit of a loose cannon... nothing stopping him from simply "holding" the stake and saying "So you want to be decentralized, huh? Go ahead and have fun, without Tron's resources or marketing... you're on your own, have a nice day!"

Why would he do that? We just made his stake more or less worthless. In HIS eyes, perhaps not in OURS. Which leaves it up to us to either try to go it alone... OR slowly become another WEKU... which leaves the question of whether or not the witnesses who voted to lock up the Ninja mined stake ALSO have the cohesion and drive to create "the community everyone hoped for" without significant resources or compensation?
