RE: Hanes purchases Steemit Inc
You are saying you won't be helping the community, and are willing to sell the blockchain to Justin, unless the witnesses do what you want. You are the one with the demands. You are the problem.
In my opinion the blockchain is a database and the community are people. Mr. Sun did not purchase the community.
What mister @thehive originally said in this thread was something along the lines of "we must appease mr. Sun". I challenged him because that's not something Justin Sun will ever even listen to.
@Thehive did not mention forking as an option. Not once. All he did was be vague about his point.
I understand forking may be the only choice in the long run. But if it is possible to fight Justin, we should still do that.
Although. I did have an interesting conversation with another steemian about the takeover, and he basically said: "Justin is too intelligent. He must have thought this through before he took over. He will get his way sooner or later."
What I now fear is, Justin has a clear game plan. He doesn't really appear to be after the community. Maybe what he really wants is the blockchain, the technology behind Steem, along with our content, to repopulate with his Tronglodytes. And maybe migrate some Steemians that are "fed up" with the original Steem, or how it was governed. (Maybe he even convinced most of the Korean community and others.)
Imagine which one will win. A "blogchain" with a few resurgents from the old Steem, or the one with some ex-steemians AND his already existing Tron community. Add DLive, SMT's and atomic swaps to the pot, and you will have a Steem killer. That's what I think Justin is after, the technology itself. If he will also get the name "Steem", all the better for him.
Do you really still think we have a chance if he wins?
It is slim chance if any...
The only game plan for us is to be quick, to at least get the name "Steem" to stay with us, and for the love of all that's good, finish the SMT's, and get rid of the vulnerabilities in governing and guarding the blockchain. We should also seek allies from other blockchains to maybe start the development for the atomic swaps between some of them.
To win, we need to think ahead, further than where Justins goals lie.
