"Justin Sun and several major exchanges executed what seems to be a hostile takeover of the Steem blockchain, say sources. After Tron acquired Steemit Inc two weeks ago, it seems that its CEO Justin Sun is using the company to consolidate power over the supposedly decentralized blockchain. Today, the majority of Steem’s witnesses, the decision-makers for the blockchain’s governance, were ousted by what appear to be accounts connected to Tron. Major exchanges including Binance, Huobi, and Poloniex participated in the takeover, staking (“powering up”) Steem held in their custody and delegating those votes to what appears to be an account controlled by Justin Sun, based on block explorer data.

@themarkymark : "Here the owner of Binance claims they assumed it was just a normal hard fork playing stupid to the fact they actually powered up Steem of their customers and using it to vote witnesses, neither action is done with a hardfork."
"millions were transferred to their accounts which appears to be a payment for this service."

@good-karma : "now things have changed, this action confirmed the real threat which I thought was only theoretical. One entity controlling entire chain consensus! Softfork 22.2 was proxied decision by around 180,000 steem users (number of votes to all top 20 witnesses). But Softfork 22.5 is basically decision of 1 entity who has probably around 10-15 people."

@mindtrap: " @Yabapmatt and @roelandp are already producing blocks as top 20 as they are ranked 1st and 2nd right now. Focus on @good-karma and @themarkymark so we can have at least 4 witnesses among the top 20. I am going to keep this one short because obviously there is no reason to make things complicated. You've probably read dozens of posts by now from fellow Steem users regarding witness voting. Don't take things lightly. It is NOW or NEVER. Just like everyone around here I don't necessarily agree with everything our previous top 20 witnesses say or do. But at this point is simply DOESN'T MATTER!"
@theycallmedan : "The world will remember that free people stood against a tyrant, that hodlers stood against exchanges and before this battle is over that even Tron can bleed. We have struck a telling blow in this war for STEEM! @yabapmatt is now our #1 and we only need 4 to foil their takeover attempt. Either PROXY ME https://beta.steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-proxy?proxy=theycallmedan&approve=1 Or VOTE HERE: https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses VOTE FOR 22-42 at a minimum, we need to vote for the same witnesses to maximize our votes! USE ALL 30 OF YOUR VOTES!"

@theycallmedan : "We now have 5 REAL consensus witnesses in! If you ever were on the fence to powerup STEEM, and you really care about the future of this place, this is the time to powerup!"

The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses. If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking here to help restore the decentralization of Steem.
