RE: I used to want to be a whale.
It's caused a lot of tension but luckily hasn't really affected the market as much. I had hopes that Sun will actually invest a shit ton of money and build a bunch of dapps that would make Steem prettier and more interesting for the people at Tron, and the general public. Time will tell anyways.
I spoke about their paranoia and how they secretly made a decision with our votes here. While they may have the interest of the community at heart, I find it weird that that they're whining over Sun's silence then go on to do something like that(soft fork)
yes - time will tell. It always does... :)
and you're right - it hasn't affected the market yet - but I think that's because @justinsunsteemit chose the high road and responded quickly and de-escalated the situation.
I know that the witnesses were frustrated with his silence - but once again.... he doesn't answer to them. He is a dapp owner (owner of Steemit, Inc.) and does not owe them anything. They can ask, and they can wait - like everyone else in the world. He owns a large stake that HE purchased, and is not required to defend anything that he does with it.
That can be a very scary proposition - for sure! A new player in the mix, and he's not readable yet? We can't trust his intentions? Can be terrifying!!! But to pre-emptively move to freeze his account. Wow. Who's next? And why?
Steem is down quite a bit more than the rest of the market today
funny how hypocrisy often rears its head, don't you think?
it's always very telling when one thing is said when it applies to "them" but something else is said when it applies to "not them"
way of the world. It just frustrates me that this place was always supposed to be different from the real world, but of course.... that was naive and hopeful of me.
