I just hope that who ever ends up winning the users are not the losers. I would hope that after all this that someone at least has seen that the impossible can and did happen, (no one person can control the chain). That they have learned that knee jerk reactions and economic sanctions do not, and never have, and never will work in the walking world or the typing/clicking world.

People are talking about moving on, of bringing closure to this incident, I have yet to see any post from anyone on what is next. Nothing about SMT's, if Tron wins they are done with in my opinion as he has his own system he wants people to use. If steem block chain witnesses win, they are going to have, higher priorities than the SMT project.

The everyday user wants to keep the chain decentralized, this is evident in the number of people voting, updating their votes for witnesses. Activity of a normal posting nature continues, votes are made, post are made and comments are made. The user is not looking for hand holding from any group or individual, what they would like, (well I would), is to see someone with a vision of what comes next where are we headed after this.

There is at least one witness that wants to tuck his head in the sand and hard fork pre 22.2/tron takeover. We can not ignore that which we do not like, if something is broken it needs to be repaired, and forking out is not going to fix anything. Most countries have citizenship requirements before you can vote in regular election. This may be one simple easy temporary fix, a six month waiting period of being an active member on the block chain before being allowed to cast a vote for witnesses. Active member of course would need to be defined.
