RE: 3Speak excited about Steem Tron collaboration #heyTron
I just wonder how any system here can call itself "decentralized" if the
actions of one man/boy, can turn the whole community
upside down..?
Ain't that closer to a dictatorship?
Interesting view on the situation. I think it is fair to say @justinsunsteemit is a well-respected entrepreneur and a huge name in the crypto space.
Why on earth would he spend millions of dollars on acquiring STEEM(tokens) and Steemit.inc if his intention is to burn the place down? Do you really think he doesn't understand the power of a community? The Steem community?
I think he understands it quite well and just for that reason he bought it. Not to kill it, but to benefit from it.
I can't think of 1 reason why he would put his name, fame, and money at risk. He is a businessman and wants a return on investment.
Acquiring something that is more powerful than what you already have is a brilliant move. He lacks users and communities at #TRON, well we have that. And now he has too.
Any millionaire/billionaire can buy STEEM and power it up to fuck with the Steem community (haejin/rancho/...), but honestly, we all know where that ends right?
Hope this puts some minds at ease.

Hi there, i never said that he wants to "kill" or "burn down" Steemit or it's community.
I said "upside down" more in the sense of what kind of reactions his action caused in Steemit.
And this is centralized action from one source, and this is control, and this is my point ;)
Where is the Decentralization?
Will the witnesses stay?
And i don't like Warren Buffet, sugaring up the world, especially the children, with his
horsepiss Coca Cola...for real, that's the secret ingredient i heard ;) Cheers! :)
And i also dislike this charity dinner this Justin organized with this kind of people,
who was "shitting" on Crypto and BTC 2 years ago.
You can find better investors...
Enjoy your weekend ;)
I can think of reasons:
If he tries anything than we make a fork, so it’s like a social contract. It becomes a loss for both the community and for Justin.
Not we. The witnesses can make a fork. But there are not that many of those.
Anyone can fork a coin. The witnesses can agree to fork without splitting the chain, to keep only one coin Steem.
Not on steem. AFAIK you need 20 witnesses to run a steem block chain. So we would need to become witnesses first before we can fork the chain.
Of course you could set up 20 sock puppet witnesses but who would want to use that chain? And it's still be witnesses.
Same for any other blockchain. You always need a sizeable group to add validity to your fork.
So not anyone can fork a coin. It takes a sizeable group to fork a coin.
At least 20 in the case of steem.
How is it different from when Ned had the power though? Isn't it just one dictator handing power to another? At least this one isn't fast asleep at the wheel.
I'm not saying I trust Justin, I don't know the guy, but Ned was clearly no good.
True, so Steemit was never really "decentralized"...
I agree for the most part....

I checked and resteemed your video ;)
It depends what mitigation’s our current steem witnesses put in place.
What "mitigations" could the witnesses "install" / "create" / "muscle" ?
I completely disagree. This is another fantastic development in the world of crypto and one of massive importance considering both firms track record paving the way in the world of crypto. This means it is yet another huge step forward in the way that the crypto world can become more innovative and productive towards legitimising the industry. It is hard to think of a better time, bar late-2017, to be part of the community. Is your comment to say that by coming closer together, those involved in the cryptocurrency industry are moving further away from the goals it was created to achieve? I for one will be getting closer involved in the projects that have now partnered up due to this news with the help of platforms like the ones that can be found at https://www.cryptimi.com/exchanges/best-bitcoin-exchanges where I can invest in these organisation's tokens with ease and this is what I would recommend for anyone else reading this news as opposed to feeling negative about the partnership.
