Soft fork is a hard fucking
Well y'all did it... no need to worry if STEEM is moving to the TRON blockchain.. STEEM is dead from the inside.. I don't claim to know a lot.. and absolutely zero about how the blockchain works. But when y'all decide to start freezing accounts and stealing people's stake you just switched from DpoS blockchain straight to POS blockchain.
Who's next to get fucked?
People be worried they will become irrelevant. Pulled out too quick ;)
They are irrelevant obviously. If they happen to become relevant we'll just fork em out

Boom!! You said it dude. Plain and simple.
Holy fuck what did I miss? So the Witnesses froze some account with several million dollars ripping off the Steem blockchain? What? I'm confused.
Yes. They froze Justin Sun's ability to vote witnesses plus a bunch of other stuff

Damn! I hope Justin prevails. This is all still so confusing for me.
The best recap of the whole clusterfuck.
I aim to please
Are you going to power down? What's your next move!
Absolutely not. Selling out at this point would would be stupid. I'll revisit this discussion with myself at $1 STEEM
I think they were doing their best to counter Ned's slimy move of selling us all out... who knows ... at this point I have bigger things to worry about :-/
Well I'm glad to see Ned go... I was never a fan
It's in Sun's best interests to 1) Let Steem thrive and 2) do a better job than Nad (which should be pretty easy, esp. with his war-chest and connections)... so unless he's completely out of his mind, I'm somewhat optimistic... meh who knows though :D
How can he? The witnesses won't let him.. instead they chose to freeze his account. Imo that's a act of war
Maybe, but Justine's stated goal (from the start) of a forced token swap was way worser... what a cluster mess LOLZ
Crazy times!!
Hell yah preach it man! I have been trying to make sense of it in my periphery but I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. We want new blood here and an active stake doing something to stir stagnant waters.
I am with you.

Yeah this is some bullshit.
I don’t see it that way at all. The witnesses protected the chain itself by basically putting rules on that huge stake that really had just been a gentlemen’s agreement with Ned that he wouldn’t use that ninja mined stake to be used for voting witnesses. This was always a weak point of the system that they basically made trust less. They forced the conversation with Justin sun to the table and now actually getting something done. That is what the witnesses are for. I for one am glad to see the witnesses step up and do something. There was allot of conversation going on since the buy out announcement. Anyone could have participated in the talks, I did and I am not a witness. I fully support the decision. If anything it made the community stronger than ever. Just my thoughts though.
The witnesses protected themselves. They made sure they remain in control. Justin bought that stake. No one has any right to tell him what he can or cannot due with it. So it's okay if they fork out your stake next?
There is no comparison because I don't pose any kind of threat to the chain. If I posed a threat to the system like Justin sun does, then I would expect the witnesses to react and then I would in turn react the same way Justin did and realize, oh shit, I better listen to the people that actually hold this shit together... but that is just me...
