For me, I am here on Steem, come hell or high water, and therefore I am going to ride this wave just as I do all the other ones, with Steem coming first. I am not yet sure that this is a move that supports that end, but I do believe that the mixed-messages coming from Tron a problematic if the uncharitable view of their intentions is the reality.

This is how I feel exactly. The importance is what will the community do, and what will the outcome be for those that simply come to create and share?

As for the witnesses, governance becomes infinitely more difficult the bigger something grows - which is something that should be welcomed. I feel as though the messaging could've been different.

It's okay to feel threatened, as that's what I read from the announcements, but a declaration of independence would've been received completely differently.
