RE: Believe Sun, Or Believe His PR Team?
I have been having fun with all the steem/tron post. One thing I have not mentioned in any of my comments though is Tron now has all masterkeys that have not been changed by users that created their account through steemit free sign up. me included. maybe I should change mine just in case.
Hey, @bashadow.
I'm not sure if it's fun I'm having. I don't think it's total misery, either. Something in between? The problem is, public vs. private communications, and at this point, there's no way to know what to believe.
Stuff about getting out seems a little extreme, and before this, so did forking out Steemit. Now, it doesn't seem so farfetched if all of a sudden somehow, someway, everything begins to migrate to TRON and a coin swap is forced on us.
It's amazing how Justin Sun can be so many things to so many people. From experience, that simply means, no one really knows. The problem I have is, someone is going to be proven right, but no one knows what that's going to look like, and while I don't have a huge stake, it's enough to be concerned over. If it were all earned stake through rewards, not as big a deal. And while I've not put in anything more than we can afford to lose, I'd still rather not lose it, if I have any say in the matter. And right now, it's feeling like I have less say now than I did last Thursday.
I certainly wasn't the first to jump in with impressions. I waited to see what others were saying, did some reading, followed the commentary on the AMA, and so forth. And after it, I'm still unsure of where I should be, other than to try to come up with more posts about something. Hopefully not SteemiTRON, even if that's all people seem to be paying attention to.
It is going to be interesting to see what does happen. I do hope those that started power downs are extremely careful with their keys. It is during times of uncertainty that the con men and women come out looking for easy scared marks.
That is the only thing I am sure of, there will be attempts to con people and steal from them. If people are concerned and want to be prepared for the worst case scenario, then a power down is a somewhat good idea, if they back it with a lease so they still maintain their vote power and ability to continue to grow and earn then I think that would be a smart move, but I have never leased SP, and do not know if that is a fiscal responsible thing to do right now for people.

Tron doesn't have them. The same people still work at SteemIt Inc, and I highly doubt roadscape is going to rob us because he works for Tron now.
Tron owns steemit. Account recovery will still go through Steemit/Tron now if master key is lost/stolen. It does not matter who in Steemit.inc has the keys, they belong to Steemit/Tron now.
I know steemit had no desire to go through and clean up empty/lost accounts. All Tron needs to do when they hold all the cards is send out an email to all the original email address's that signed up for a free steemit account and advise the people they have 30 days to show that their account is active by either posting or commenting.
Voting can be to automated and run with no human input.
There are a lot of in-active accounts that may or may not still have powered up Steem in them, and those dead accounts that do still have steem in them are getting interest. I do like having FUD FUN sometimes.
Where do those interest payments come from? I think the reward pool. Can you imagine how it would look to people outside of TRON if they see after 90 days of buying Steemit, the amount of post and comments went from 7,000 to 291,360, (my steemit ID number).
Bonus would be all them ankle biter accounts would need to post or comment and open themselves up to being down voted.
Just wishful thinking really, and having some fun, granted haunted house type fun, but still fun to me.
Did you see our Alexa ranking went up 760 spots in one day?
I sign up are incoming, ... cool stuff.
Yeah, I do know Tron could potentially change the policy and get to keys, but... I can't imagine it happening. :)
Have fun, I wasn't being bratty.
Oh I doubt they would do anything bad with the keys, but that Justin guy does seem to be more or a business man than Ned is. Dead accounts taking up digital retail space and drawing down the value may be something he things about. Facebook, Google, YouTube, and a lot of other sites do on occasion go through a house cleaning.
