RE: Vlog 459: A sad day for Steem

in #exyle • 5 years ago

because this can be frozen anytime by the witness

This was always the case. Tell me... would the witness voters (stake holders) allow witnesses to start freezing investor stake left and right???

The answer is no. They would quickly stop being witnesses. This change clearly demonstrates the power of consensus and the ability of a community to act.

This was not a sad day. Quite the opposite.

    You answer the question yourself. The Witness didn't ask anyone for that move. Does the witness made puplic request from us comunnity? Not at all....
    We all are free people and have the right to say what we think about it, if this decisssion was right or wrong.

      The Witness didn't ask anyone for that move.

      1. They did ask people.
      2. There were hundreds of posts on the topic where you could determine overall agreement.
      3. The community stakeholders gave witnesses votes because they trusted them to act for the good of the blockchain. If they did something stake holders didnt agree on they would be voted out and others would replace them and the fork would be reversed. The fact that their position is even stronger then before clearly shows where the stakeholders stand.

      If you disagree vote for other witnesses. Thats what decentralization is about.

      Read the cryptogee post. Commented already. He is dead wrong about everything.
