Steem Witness Forum Tomorrow Immediately Following the Tron Meeting on MSPWaves
So many should have seen the post on Medium and tweets. Justinsun/Tron have purchased Steemit. They are hosting a forum at 9am Pacific time tomorrow. It's not clear how long that will run.
MSPWaves will be hosting a forum immediately following the Tron thing. You can find us at minnowpond.org. We'll be on air. This is short notice, so it's not entirely decided, but I'm leaning towards giving witnesses some airtime and then moving toward a ramble style anything goes discussion. I'll play that by ear depending on how the Tron thing goes.
Logistics Best Guess
The Dlive thing happens at 9 am Pacific at dlive.tv/justinsun.
I suspect, but don't know that it'll go for 2 hours. I imagine we'll start our forum at 11am Pacific, aka 2pm Eastern aka 7pm UTC. But in reality it'll start immediately following the conclusion of the Justinsun broadcast.

My Initial Thoughts
Steemit is a private company and can be bought and sold at Ned's (and the boards) discretion. Steem is a public decentralized blockchain. If Tron wants to make a tronit after poaching steemit that's fine.
As announced it's a token swap for steemians to get some tron thing. I think it should be airdrop to steem users and either a tokenswap or airdrop for tron users.
As it's said now it appears to be a goal to swap out steem for a tron token, which rubs me as hostile where as an airdrop seems voluntary. We'll see how this develops.
Either way. Witnesses, apps, and others can continue running steem nodes if they don't voluntarily choose to follow Ned's sale to Tron.
Will be there. For me, the goal will remain to provide the opportunity for people to collectively own an immutable and decentralized social platform backed by a fast and future-proof currency.
If the acquisition means we get some much-needed marketing talent and resources to promote and enable that vision, then great. If instead, it will compromise our ability to achieve it then I will be open to discuss any other alternatives with those passionate about building it with Steem as it is.
One way or another, we'll be where this community is.
Completely agree. Steem community is difficult to deal with, but that’s typical for decentralisation. And I do love the huge variety of thoughts, competence and action. Hope for the best.

So true, and I agree so much. This is the basis of Steem for me.
Fully agree dear @fredrikaa as the community is king
Either way, projects that are backed by an army of users and pushin' it - will prosper and get there in the end.
Besides, there are other blockchain algorithms already in existance, that may well prove worthy forming a partnership of such kind and organically fit in the Steem ideology
Glad to know.
I will stay with Steem community.
Will join in and with community decision. Decentralization is most important feature for us to protect and if can be bought by buying the founder company then we fail to prove that steem blockchain was ever a decentralized enterprise.
all the uncertainty is insane, nobody knows if they should powerdown or be celebrating.... hopefully those who believe in steem are able to carry us without steemit
Now it is time for some well-thought witness actions - I am too busy right now to follow all development but have to say, I am very worried! Thanks for the heads-up @aggroed
Yes @uwelang and @aggroed it would be very usefull to have all witnesses - or at least a lot of them - joined together
there is "accelerator program" to buy all witnesses and apps, in few days we will see Sun lovers on steem
🤦🏻♂️ you may be correct.
Money talks 🗣💰
Hoping the best right now, and that the Steem blockchain will survive thx to the great work of the Witnesses, but Steem needs developers and API servers too which are currently run mostly by Steemit Inc because they are expensive. Exciting times ahead of us :)
Would someone please post a list of witnesses supporting moving to TRON. I'd hate for them to have my vote.
and my axe
@Uwelang and @davedickeyyall pretty much summed up what quite a few of us are chatting about and I'd say hostile seems an apt word.
Exactly, we need a list now. Granted I only vote for 2 top 20 witnesses but I want to know any others that support the move.
What Justin wants Justin gets I'm guessing as Eli put out a statement that she had no clue about any of this and is oh so shocked, sure all the 'secret slacks' are like , what happens when we have to go get that Sun vote , you know instead of the Pumpkin one. op/ed
Secret Slack... Of course... 🤦♂
Same.
Steem blockchain community and tron blockchain community should work together with a consensus its very important fighting and disagreement is not good right now
Fck tron, setup and vote for witnesses keeping steem up. Will do if needed. Also API nodes if steemit‘s should fail

Thank you for setting this up on short notice! I believe this will usher in an exciting new time, free from some historical baggage, but we must be vigilant.
