RE: I used to want to be a whale.
yes - time will tell. It always does... :)
and you're right - it hasn't affected the market yet - but I think that's because @justinsunsteemit chose the high road and responded quickly and de-escalated the situation.
I know that the witnesses were frustrated with his silence - but once again.... he doesn't answer to them. He is a dapp owner (owner of Steemit, Inc.) and does not owe them anything. They can ask, and they can wait - like everyone else in the world. He owns a large stake that HE purchased, and is not required to defend anything that he does with it.
That can be a very scary proposition - for sure! A new player in the mix, and he's not readable yet? We can't trust his intentions? Can be terrifying!!! But to pre-emptively move to freeze his account. Wow. Who's next? And why?
Steem is down quite a bit more than the rest of the market today
funny how hypocrisy often rears its head, don't you think?
it's always very telling when one thing is said when it applies to "them" but something else is said when it applies to "not them"
way of the world. It just frustrates me that this place was always supposed to be different from the real world, but of course.... that was naive and hopeful of me.
