Hi @achim03

I actually think that hive is the best answer to the stalemate situation we had

Very true.

Blockctrades admited that they were working for few weeks on building hive.io

so it's almost obvious that it was plot organized by few powerful users to create conflict against justin and make people move to their new chain
for that reason I believe soft fork was nothing but provocation

witnesses complained that justin want to kill steem blockchain, but they themself are doing it now
and planning to dump all steem, without giving chance for smallers users to power down and sell their steem and rescue part of invested money anyway, all we can do is - adjust

I don't know who is real enemy here. I see it as a power struggle

Anyway we are already in this difficult position and all we can do is to adjust.

Cheers,
Piotr
