I can't help but feel it's something to be worried about, and I feel like it's more worrying than previous events have been.

The worst case, for me at least, is Steem essentially being killed off and a token swap for some shitty Tron coin is implemented instead, as a replacement.

I'd like to think they'll listen to the community and leave Steem alone, and let it remain its own independent chain, away from Tron.
