Vlog 389: I have zero rights to say what anyone else should do with their stake.
The witness I am part of called @blockbrothers released a small statement yesterday here.
We don't need a million words to get a simple point across:
Any Hardfork that proposes to fork out any account on the Steem blockchain we will oppose now and in the future and anyone on the Steem blockchain should be able to do with their stake whatever they want.
Steemit inc. had their stake before anyone else joined the blockchain.
Therefor anyone that joined the blockchain after them knew about their stake.
I invested and worked on Steem for 2,5 years now knowing this full well.
But working on Steem and investing my own money gives me zero rights to now say what Steemit inc. or anyone else for that matter should do with their stake.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am part of witness @blockbrothers.

Yep. I mentioned that point earlier in the week. They were first here, large players knew of their majority stake, and most were/are aware of how it was obtained.
My only concern is the SEC related point on thecryptodrive's post. I don't fully understand the set-up there, but assume Steemit Inc have thought about this and have no intention of, in ausbitbank's words, fking things up.
Have a good weekend man, and Steem On.
And so it is. Have a great weekend man!
My feelings exactly. It's crazy that this was something top witnesses were even discussing as if it were a reasonable option. Like, seriously WTF??? People seriously need to reshuffle those witness votes.
My opinion about this is if any one is ever opted out of any blockchain it would be the same as your bank saying to you sorry we gonna close your account because we the bank aren't happy what you do with it. On the other hand if we don't agree with steemit inc we should just buy all those steem powered down by steemit inc. If you're not happy with steem leave and build your own steem coin with everything around it.

Thank-you! For speaking my thoughts too. It really is crazy this notion is being considered by top witnesses. 🤷♀️ There's quite a lot to manage when it comes to individual and then mass psychology. I can only imagine how Ned and the team are keeping clear heads thorough this ruckus. As always, i appreciate your clear consice communication Mark and that you stick to a straight forward moral compass. This blockchain is amazing! And, as a full time steemer on my phone the Steemit.com website is still the best method for accessing the blockchain at thus point. Though, @actifit is getting better and better. And, i don't play Steem monsters so i can't say how it works on a phone. I hope you feel some relief putting your thoughts on this topic out there. Now, go forward have a great day. Maybe have an awesome workout 🎶 See you next time!!
Right on @exlye 😊👍

The best thing of a blockchain is that it is immutable and permissionless, the real problem here is human nature itself, and with social media features on it, drama seems to become even exponentially bigger.
Even though in the end I think that Steemit will just secure that stake somehow and not sell it, the paradox is that people want better distribution while don't want big whales to sell, still better now than with Steem at 100$, that would really destroy credibility.
Yeah, it is indeed true that being able to talk about the blockchain on the blockchain brings extra human emotion and drama :)
This is exactly what I was thinking ! You can’t tell someone what to do with their stake ! It’s like saying no one should ever sell their steem !

Yes! Doesn't it defeat the fundamentals of why we want a decentalized way of operating?!? Smh.
I just Want to Be Able to Beat you Mark @exyle on The SteemMonsters Battlefield..............I don't Care what @ned does with the STINC Horde..............
You won't take me alive! See you next time on the battlefield!
