Justin is stupid and going through wars that he never win in the long run. He can absorb Steem into Tron but he cannot prevent witnesses from hardforking into new Steem.

Justin's best choice is hardfork to SteemTron then swap to Steem Token on Tron, onboarding Steemians to Tron.
This is not different from just copy Steem Blockchain with coin name Steem token under Tron,
and this is also not different from just airdrop Tron to Steeminans according to Steem possession and copy Steem Blockchain with it as token.
No need to consume time and efforts on war.

Witnesses can choose anytime to hardfork into Steem2 like golos, weku, etc.

Current war is just war for the name STEEM listed in the current exchanges.

They can agree to hardfork into STEEMTRON and STEEM2 and ask exchanges to list both instead of STEEM.
In this case STEEM2 needs to burn al l the ninja-mined STEEM reducing STEEM number 300M to 200M, great.

Steem witnesses can hardfork whenever they want to Steem again, now or during the wars, or even after the Steem-token-on-Tron era.

We can enjoy this war, and hopefully and possibly force witnesses to accept a few improvement to achieve more decentralization.

_1. remove downvote except for strictly iLlegal contents which should be specified in advance. Downvote should be effecive only when major witnesses make consensus to approve it case by case manually.
_2. reduce witness vote number to 1 from current 30.
_3. increase consensus witness number to 50 currently then 100, 200, 1000, 10k etc as time evolves from current 20, by upgrading and simplifying the witness node software so that every commons can install and run it on their some powerful PC.
_4. adopt different powerdown period with different voting power such as 1 week 50% power, current 13 week 100 %, 52 week 200% etc, 2 year 300%, 10 year 400% etc.
_5. whatever other improvements

Thanks.
