RE: Witness Update - Running my own softfork (22.3)
It was probably a poor choice of words given the situation, but the reality is that there are people in the Tron community (including Tron) who are interested in working with Steemians, and there are Steemians (myself included) interested in working with the Tron community.
I am in the camp that thinks there is potential for our two communities to benefit by working together.
I still think partnership seems like an appropriate term for that, but I do 100% agree that it means nothing if the Steem community doesn’t want to go along with it (I feel I appropriately expressed that in my post).
Just because there are people wanting to team up and work together doesn’t mean we are in support of a forced situation that our community does not agree to.
Tim, to forward to you what I wrote in a post on the topic:
I feel my goals and actions are in alignment with that statement.
I do not doubt for one moment that you are thinking anything "evil", hell you have been one of the most important "devils advocates" in many a discussion out there to date.
I personally have learned a lot from you.
You know, as well as anyone else that in the business world there is little to no room for mistakes when it comes to take overs and that the vast majority of so called "partnerships" end up in the literal extinction of one of the two parties involved.
As you know all too well, the blockchain is at question here and that is our primary concern as Witnesses.
All tokens, no matter if they be a series of 101 ones and zeros, or a 1001 ones and zeros, are not what makes the blockchain.
I learned that from reading and studying up on what many very experienced people out there have relayed in the past and tbh, one of those people was and is you.
Staying focused on the blockchain and the foundational role of a witness is priority #1.
If the blockchain is to perish because of some tokens that are on it, then we have failed in our primary responsibility as per our job description.
Go for it, Having the most used asset in Steem,
Steemit.comshould give Justin Sun a big enough incentive to come up with a win-win situation between Steem and Tron.This move from Witnesses has little to do with Tron purchase but from the very justified misstrust over the use of the Ninja-mine that build over 4 years of Nedtard management. Do you think Ned properly explained Justin anything about the intended use of the Ninja-Mine? You're be very gullible if you think he did.
I highly doubt it
