It does appear that the shift will not simply be taking code, but also accounts and content. In spite of all available optimism, I do hope that the people who committed to this have discussed any potential

You say good news, the meme shows why this should be concerning.

Absolutely. I had recognized that steem is organized similar to a ponzi scheme; the platform gains value based on future investors (users, witnesses, investors, etc). This power struggle appears that it

Hi, while I agree with the sentiment and the need to rebuild to keep the community thriving, I'm a bit unnerved at the way this is happening. I realize that we as people want to preserve and view this

Here's to hoping things work out; I'm probably not qualified to really express the concern properly. We got the steem blockchain to be hard forked away into hive; they are keeping the same 'score' brought

This should be a positive shift. Let's hope that the dev team and all make sure to not simply put polish on a pig. Steemit has some SERIOUS and significant issues that, without some careful planning will

What drawing program is that?

Of course he doesn't care. As long as he's getting a return on the investment, why would he care?

People should focus on his track record. He invests in things to profit from the decline. The blockchain has been dying for the better part of the last 2 years.

Are you talking about the crypto that you 'own'? It may be worth noting that the 'steem' crypto has more in common with Canadian tire money than it does with the type of pull you seem to believe the users

I like these ideas, generally. 1 - The system of votes should be the same, but by hiding the value of posts to the public, that forces people to be more selective in their votes. Not just voting for something

I'd like to hope you are correct. I feel bad for those who have invested real money into the platform, it is starting to look like the ending phase of a ponzi scheme. AKA the point where people begin to

I'm sorry Dan, while I appreciate your efforts, I think you fail to recognize the power dynamic at play. This isn't some 'fair' 'democratic' system. Justin is the OWNER now, like it or not, the rest of

There was a bit of a mixup; In general cryptos can operate in a decentralized way, they aren't connected to anything like with Steem, where value is at least in part derived from interaction with the platform.

Exactly. Steem (the company) has the power in this situation, I can't be the only one to notice the power struggle with the witnesses that ended with a whole pile of staff 'resigning' a few days later.

Sounds great. Like the time I tried to sue a company for not paying my paycheck. He shuttered the company, reopened under a new name the next week and I was out a significant chunk of change with no (legal)

Strange how that happens. People try to protect the platform and now there's a stream of resignations. All of them with near carbon copy resignation posts. Nothing to see here, right?

Unfortunately, I'm not a mind reader or able to predict the future. What you're suggesting is not a huge stretch. Consider, only about 0.000035% of users are whales (was using older numbers I found, but

"Why did the community spent years on marketing & improving Steem, just for the useless founder to get a nice payday?" The platform was always designed for that purpose. It was obvious. If

If I had any serious money invested, I would feel the same way. Now, the platform is really only used as a free hosting service for me.
