STEEMIANS, PREPARE FOR HIVE!

in #hive5 years ago (edited)

First off, I want to let you know it's an honor and a privilege to be before you all. I have great respect and loyalty for this community.

I would like to thank @blocktrades & many others for stepping up to create Hive. I must admit, I have never seen such a dedicated group of talented, freedom-fighting people doing what they love. It's been an experience and has given me new wind at a much-needed time. I have great admiration for what you are all doing on your journey.

And last but certainly not least, I would like to thank you, this badass community for all the support and having my back even when things looked their bleakest. I would even like to thank you, @Justinsunsteemit, your blind rampage of our home awoken something deep in the hearts of everyone here. You've awakened the Hive.

I regret to inform you all this will be my last post on the Steem blockchain.

STEEM has died today. My fight for STEEM is over. Long Live Hive.

I come to you with my head held high, as all of yours should be. We fought a vigilant battle. Things quickly got out of anyone's hands and if it wasn't clear yesterday, today it's clear there is not even a 1% chance to reason with Justin Sun.

I was/am prepared for glory. I believe we achieved it in a miraculous way, STEEM may be dead but what made STEEM what it is will continue. There is no glory in STEEM anymore, just an empty shell.

I & several others made every attempt humanly possible, we spent too many fruitless hours fighting a corrupt battle that was impossible to win from the start.

The writing was on the wall, it just takes me a while to read it. I feel there is nothing left to be gained from the fight for Steem. Any further efforts to fight for Steem are efforts wasted to support Hive. I'm known for being very hard-headed and stubborn, and even now I know, it's time to go.

We let the world know we won't go quietly into the night, we stuck together, and here we are at through it all, rejuvenated and inspired.

Steem lost US, WE didn't lose Steem. We are walking away, peacefully.

Blockchain is simply an open-source code run by voluntarist. No one is obligated to run code they don’t want. That’s why your actions matter in the blockchain world, it’s run by free people who will turn the other cheek, in a nonviolent way. Let it be known, no community was bought here today. Quite the opposite, our community is as strong as it's ever been.

It felt weird to hit the powerdown button today, it was my first time ever doing so. My full focus will be to support Hive moving forward.

Cheers to the continuance of the decentralized dream.

STEEM is dead, Long Live Hive.

@theycallmedan Yep! Why continue to beat a dead horse.
It is wise to step away now and to gather your energies for future battles.
Everyone now knows that you are a fighter!
Well done and you are the Man!
Blessings!

나는 당신과 친구가 되고 싶다.

Thanks for your support!

Mad respect to you, and everyone else who fought the good fight!

Hi there

I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.

Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.

Hey @creativeblue!

I understand many people are having a tough time choosing, and I completely get why it's such a tough call. For me, after everything I heard Justin Sun say, followed by all of his actions that ran antithetical to his words, it was an easy choice - as soon as my power downs are finished, I'm completely done with the Steem platform (assuming it's still around at that point, and I'm not confident it will be). But please, make sure the decision sits well in your gut, regardless of what other people say. And bright blessings to you, whatever your choice ends up being. 😊

Big Thx for your reply. I think i will stick around on both chains for time being.

I also figured that you may find this post interesting and worth your time:
https://steemit.com/hive-175254/@project.hope/project-hope-curation-trail-on-both-chains-steem-and-new-hive

It's post published by good friend of mine and I'm helping him to promote their curation trail.

Your effort to defend the chain was valiant man, nobody can take that away from you!
If I had to choose a top stakeholder on a new chain, you'd be at the top of my list. From now on, you can continue to put energy into the tech, and nobody will be able to cut your legs out from under you. Stay focused and keep the faith. Steem was just the warm-up!

See you on the other side!

A valiant effort indeed.

Steem was just the warm-up!

Here's hoping!

Started to power down myself when the censorship started, that was really the last straw for the holdouts. Sad to see Steem demolished, but at least what made Steem great will live on.

Is it safe to assume that 3speak will be plugging into Hive now? Awesome. My videos have a new home.

So happy to have that confirmed. We need you guys!

I have no videos there... but holy yeah!!! At least I can continue to vote on videos I like.

Well said my mannnn! You and the community put up a strong fight against a crypto terrorist. Let's move and make HIVE the best damn place ever!

Your fight for steem has inspired many.
Your fight for Hive will inspire millions !!!

Diplomacy had failed since day 1 with Justin Sun, I'm glad we didn't waste too much time with his bs meetings and lies and moved forward and away from him.

That was a great move
