RE: We Neutralized an Existential Threat, But Exposed A Threat to The Individual

in Steem Think Tank5 years ago

REEEEEEEEEEEE

Perfect picture of what happened!

The problem about this whole situation is that there was a "silent threath" when every news, including Tron Foundation releases talked about a token swap.

If this was intended or not, we might never be able to say, but for a community that spent years to hold this place together, under a failed leadership that was @ned, it's pretty much understandable.

Worst yet, after the initial announcements, a lot of people asked for clarifications about what 'token swap' meant, and no good answer ever came.

I get your point of view coming from a ultra-libera/ancap vision, and the ethical question this situation creates, but any community need to defend themselves from possible threats.

But Steem blockchain works more as a democracy, and that means that the community put their faith in some individuals will be able to make decisions for the betterment of the individuals.

The good part about the democracy is that, if the actions of those ellected doesn't match the people expectations, they can be voted out of it (Yeah, i know there is other issues like stakes, distribution, etc, but the main idea remains).

And now, it's even more important to know the witness we all vote for, and watchout how they act.
