Sad to see this continuing. Hopefully this can be the last of it and 2019 can mark the beginning of focusing on what is important and not a pissing contest, especially as one side is trying to stay out of one.

While money is crucial to setting up structures, it is not a pass to do whatever one would want. One would wonder as a seller, if a company is willing to bully previous partners, would they be quick to bully those using their venue, such as sellers, the ones who actually have the product to sell. Ebay is already a master at bullying their customers (sellers) and has the resources already built for one wanting to go that route. It would seem to me to be an important point of distinction. For this venture to succeed outside the Steemit ecosystem as the other side envisions, it is crucial for them to differentiate themselves from the already existing monopolies that many of us grew tired of dealing with, or have been waiting for a replacement to come along.

I said it previously, but I am eager for a commerce site that would compete with the likes of Ebay to come along tying fiat and Steem together on one commerce site. It would revolutionize so much. But you can't scare everyone off before the damn thing is even built.

I appreciate the tone you are using here Kaliju. I am hopeful that your former partners will take whatever issues they have with you and dstors behind closed doors, or maybe let things go and move on. Having said that, I also hope that if the SP belongs to them (as I saw them insinuate), that you will be honorable and power it down and give it to them. It's time for you to focus on your brand again my friend, which has a strong foundation in honor and good intent. This is the Kali ju I remember from my first encounter with you when darkhorse was telling everyone of your vision.
