RE: Fork Me! Might Steem be a suitable home for anarcho-socialists after all?
If a perceived threat is all it takes that's not something I want to have large sums of money in.
For me it isn't about rich/poor or perception. The truth is money moves. One can not control distribution.
We had a ticking time bomb, most knew it.. in regards to SteemIt Inc's stake they knew it when they bought, earned or held, yet I see very few taking personal responsibility for their own investment choices.
To take sudden action in this moment with a small group of people (yes stakeholders, but not all were consulted)
In any case, I can see why Tron's PR was frightening and created fear, but I do not agree with the manner, speed or actions taken.
My stake is small, I fully accept that.. I think there is very little fear they would freeze my stake or GMA's stake as Aggy points out. However, what about the next large stakeholder if they were perceived as a threat?
I don't think that will be a next large stakeholder after this. Not if that means an investor.
It's not exactly encouraging is it?!
Although good I say, I'd rather more decentralization than a handful of crypto millionaires who got lucky with BTC in the mid 2010s.
It's getting that tricky balance between investment and the potential rise of the token or it being a minor satoshi hobby token. I'm fine with the latter actually but it would be nice if their was interest in steem investment. I would like to retire off it one day :0)
I treat it more as a long term investment, although I can't ever imagine chasing anything out.
I really should start cashing in my SBD earnings, that feels rational ATM.
The way things are going Steem might one day be worth the equivalent of Tesco reward points.
Long term is how I see it too. I would like it to grow over the long term though!
It is almost a duty to cash out the SBD, :O)
I bloody hope we get to be worth more than Tesco reward points!
I think this is an extreme case, and if Agro is speaking for the majority (although not Bernie judging by his DVs, then again I've never been clear what Bernie stands for exactly TBH) then it probably wouldn't happen to someone who bought their stake on the open-market, rather than a behind closed doors ninja-mined one.
Although it could.
this is a key point.... It probably wouldn't.
and before a couple of weeks ago, I would have thought it wouldn't.
"Although it could" is what bothers me more than the details, personalities, etc.
