I think your post yesterday explaining where the Steemit Inc stake came from and the various social contracts or informal agreements that have been in place very helpful. The history or context, you might say. It brought into focus some fundamentals.
The other aspect that I find interesting is that, having watched the AMA and read the various announcements, I wasn't sure that Justin Sun understood what he had (or hadn't) bought.
My usual approach is to keep my own counsel, bide my time and take soundings from people I trust, either because I have followed them a long time and/or I have met them personally, and watched how they have behaved. Although the purchase did prompt me to get on with something I had intended to do, otherwise I have continued as usual and communities have been a welcome distraction 😊
This is an interesting stage in the evolution of Steem - I'm not sure but I think Steem is unique in the level of participation, in every sense, by account holders - and although some elements of it are the same old cycles we see on or off chain, other elements are, for me, huge learning opportunities, one of the things I really value about Steem. I am not sure where else I would learn these things.
