RE: My Two Cents On The Steem/Tron Drama!! Firing Up My Old Witness @Block-Buster!
I just feel that continuing supporting this platform is completely against the reason I got into cryptocurrency.
I have a huge respect for you but I've quit the highest paying job I have ever had because of my morals. It may pay off to support him, but at what cost?
I am not saying I will blindly support him. I am open to see what he will bring to the table. If users would have not abandoned the chain than he wouldn't be able to do the things he is doing now.
Will you be using Hive at all?
It will be fun to see both experiments play out, I think. And Justin Sun will probably divest of most of his Steem and Steemit, Inc. at some point, I would imagine, which would allow for even more of a re-set.
Steem and Hive are both economic engines that will never stop and both are an important part of the cryptocurrency industry now.
Honestly: I know I will cool off. Ill still post on Steem (if I don't get censored) but I will likely draw back, same with Dlive too
@ericwilson Hell yeah I will use both Chains!!!!
I am happy to hear that, I will be more than happy to support you over there as my sp (and desire) dwindle over here.
I understand that to an extent, but the question remains as to why he is still doing what he is doing.
I believe that Justin bought Steemit with little understanding beyond the fact that with the deal he would basically be in control of the blockchain. The Tron people didn't come up with the idea of a token swap by themselves. I also believe that the softfork changed his plans a little and forced him to learn the Steem blockchain. So even though the community is now somewhat fractured (I would say the overwhelming majority are supporting hive in some form), I think the soft fork saved Steem and laid the groundwork for Hive.
I do hope that non-Justin worshipping witnesses gain power and move to limit his ability to be the single controller of the blockchain, possibly by convincing him that it is a bad idea.
In the end, I think having direct competition will be beneficial for both chains. My focus will be with Hive as I believe that will yield a better experience in time.
