RE: Steemchiller goes witness! Let's make Steem safe again ;)
since he had his phony aka sock puppets in the top 20 why would he need to freeze their accounts? What would he gain? Yes, he could have, just begs the question to what end. I realize that SUN is a lunatic with the maturity of a 2 year old but even lunatics can have some intelligence.
Quite a bit actually. It would have made his "sock-puppet" witnesses PERMANENT and unchallengable.
It also would have "punished" those who targeted his stake by only doing to them what they did first.
With their stake FROZEN, they wouldn't be able to vote or sell any of their tens of thousands of dollars worth of steem.
That would seem to be pretty "significant".
That would only be significant if the HF didn't happen. Had he made the move of freezing their stake, I don't believe it would have changed the outcome other than maybe the HF happening sooner. The only possible outcome that might have been changed would possibly be the exclusion list other than the Steemit ninjamine might not have ended up happening.
Everything else would have unfolded as it has.
The HIVE defectors would still have tens of thousands of dollars worth of steem essentially FROZEN indefinitely.
I think that still qualifies as "significant".
True the freezing of the Steem would have an impact on the individuals while STEEM holds value. They would still have the value in HIVE. So, I guess how significant would depend on which gets and/or holds value. It would not have had any impact on the outcome though, the HF still would have happened.
The hard-fork is awesome, long live the HIVE.
They finally did what they had been telling everyone else to do.
Basically, "if you don't like "the steem community", GTFO".
