SOS Daily News : all you need to know about the State of Steem @ 17 December 2018
The big news today... Steemit Inc has spoken.
Steemit Inc has issued an update statement. I will leave you to judge - it is not a long read...
The length of the update is rather being dwarfed by the growing number of comments. One comment from @smooth (witness#7) stands out...I can't speak for 20 witnesses. I have little doubt there will continue to be witnesses willing to sign blocks even if not necessarily all of the current ones. The list has changed over time anyway.@whatsup has given her response to the fork talk...I know for the first time in 2.5 years (to my knowledge), some people have been seriously talking about a fork that would lock or erase the ninjamined steemit/founder stake because they are not convinced that Steemit as acting in good faith nor holding up its end of the social contract. It is disturbing that things have gotten so bad that is actually being considered.
It isn't something I'm in favor of at this point, but frankly Steemit seems to be doing its very best to push people toward that. I guess one might wonder if they have reasons to want it, or are really just THAT incompetent. I'm honestly not sure.
I've heard the word fork a lot recently also. I think it will just create a larger split.Not sure I've seen a realistic proposal yet.
I think it is clear we should not have any expectation from SteemIt, Inc and move forward as if they are a large stakeholder.

Share2Steem In A Pickle
The two leaders of the Share2Steem app have fallen out and gone their separate ways.

This has suddenly become my 'daily go to' piece. I drink coffee first, but your post follows soon after.
Thank you, for a terrific service to the community. I love that you perceived a need and filled it. Thanks for all the hard work, too.
That's great, glad you find it useful. Thank you.
hey look @whatsup your editorial was featured like a freakin journalist, this is so cool, like a real boiler room operation of people all lkeft over ready to really get boring and businessy, i can just see us all in suits doing paperwork together for years to come
very fun to just sit here and plan videos about the steem blockchain where we have meters that show Blocktivity ratings on each episode, or just emulate CNBC and show off blockchcain actyivit and only repoort on the price when its gone up for the day lol but it would be so cool to just make a SIMPLE little CNBC style crypto show for steem and just show off steem and its blocktivity reports its transactions compared to others, and maybe after a few videos like that with a news raticle sin the scroll bar, and maybe a guest here and there, we could really make osmething crypto peopel watch LOL its NOT hard to copy CNBC ya know.... crypto world is ITCHINg for something like that ESPECIALy when we are already low and can RIDE a bull run now while we report on it, we can show off the euphroia and amplify it!
That sounds about right...
