WHAT'S GOING ON with JUSTIN SUN? Any ideas? Anyone?
INTRODUCTION
This is going to be the shortest publication I've ever posted on Steemit, and yet - one of the most important ones lately. One, that perhaps will help me define what's my future within the Steem blockchain and help me understand what's going on with its largest stakeholder: Justin Sun
Some of you may have heard about recent news, and for many it may be a huge surprise. However, just a few days ago, something unique happened, Justin Sun decided to quit Tron to become a WTO ambassador for Grenada (you can read more about it here ).
Imagine my shock, while I've read those words:
Justin Sun has announced he is stepping down from his role as CEO of the Tron Foundation and is joining the government of Grenada as its new full-time ambassador to the World Trade Organisation
Can anyone tell me what's going on? What are your thoughts about this move? How will it impact Steemit and STEEM blockchain?
WHAT RAMIFICATIONS SHALL WE EXPECT?
Those are some valid questions that are piling up inside my head now and I surely would like to get some answers. Hopefully some of you, dear readers, are able to shed more light onto this situation and explain what's going on. I also would like to know how you feel about it, are you concerned or do you consider it just to be nothing but meaningless news?

Greetings @crypto.piotr, this is a news that worries us a lot because of the importance that Justin Sun has in the Steemit project, the reason why he took that decision is unknown for now or personally I don't know it but it had to be something very relevant for him to do it.
I wish @steemitblog would publish some announcement related to this topic.
but so far it seem that they ignore it :(
Greetings @crypto.piotr ❤️💕😊
Sincerely when I saw the news on Justin Sun stepping down as the CEO of Tron, I felt really astonished. If there's absolutely any other greater word synonymous to "being surprise" I would have loved to qualify my expression with such words.
Most of us didn't really expect his action or decision but i think at the same time we can't also decide for him since that's what he has decided to do. I think he just went in for something else he maybe interested in and who knows maybe he may also have plans to create more awareness about cryptocurrency in his new work place. I'll just advise that we all watch what happens next.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕❤️
hi @hardaeborla
I also felt astonished. My jaw dropped and for a short moment I thought that it may be another fake news. Some sort of prank.
If you would ever have any new info about this issue, then please message me via discord.
Cheers, Piotr
Justin Sun hopes to escape CCP by this step. He gets kind of diplomatic immunity and thus also has no need to seek asylum at China's enemies.
This would make the most sense in the context of laws in China trying to prohibit cryptocurrency, social score system etc... I hope he finds freedom and the courage to do good versus follow the "rules."
That was also my impression @cektop
However, why would he quit TRON foundation? He didn't really have to do it if main reason would be to avoid CCCP. I don't think that being part of it or not would change anything from the point of view of cccp.
And still, I mostly wonder: what will happen to his enormous stake of STEEM. Will he still hold on to it, or seek for another buyer who would buy it off him ....
I not very familiar with neither STEEM nor TRON. Imaginable is that it was Grenada's request to get the position. The position btw is more than questionable...Why should a entity like Grenada have a full-time ambassador to the World Trade Organisation? And why should a greenhorn like Justin Sun fit this position? (Other than residing next to WTO headquarters in Geneva.) Grenada offers citizenship by investment starting from USD 150k. So I guess Justin makes a little contribution to this tailor made position.
Hello @crypto.piotr
Something has been consistent with Steem's new management since last year, which is finally related to or represented by TRX's. They simply act without announcing anything.
They did it when they incorporated TRX wallet into steemit Wallet, for example, and I think it was a good thing.
The detail is that beyond that, there have been no updates or big things in steemit.
One thing that is very certain is that regardless of whether Justin Sun is hated or loved, he is a very well known character in the cryptocurrency world, and the fact that he assumes an important position in some institution in global trading can make TRX and STEEM Blockchain more well known.
What is really going to happen? Only time will tell, but I hope it will be good.
Greetings @crypto.piotr we must remember that behind Justin there is a working team and I can take for granted that steem and tron collaborations will not cease and will continue to be led by the same team, at least that's my way of seeing things.
We are clear that Justin plays a fundamental role for what they are doing and for the integration between the two platforms, but no one is indispensable and the work will continue to work. I will keep an eye on the news and sharing information about it.
Greetings...
I just think we need to sit and watch because when it comes to this scenario, a lot is also running through my mind. One thing I strongly believe is Justin sun can't affect the future of the blockchain.
Steem have been existing before and it will continue to
I'm not sure if I undestand @mandate
you mean "blockchain" as a technology? or do you mean some particular blockchain . Like STEEM?
Yea I mean steem as a blockchain.
Greetings dear friend @crypto.piotr, I hope you are very well, the news you share with us is of great interest, personally I think that leaders always seek to meet new goals, possibly being an ambassador was a pending task of Justin Sun. Particularly I do not feel worried about it, because in the first place the project should have delegated responsibilities to another member of the team with capabilities, on the other hand, in steemit with the figure of decentralized platform there are people with a lot of experience and capabilities to guide us through excellent ways.
See you later brother, have a great week.
I wish to share your optimism @amestyj :)
Greetings friend @crypto.piotr.
Actually I had not read this news, hopefully this does not impact even more on the price of steem, surely within the platform there are still people who can take the reins and continue to guide us. Thanks for sharing this important news.
I am definitely here for the comments, still learning a lot of things about steemit, Tron and the blockchain in general, let's see what other intelligent readers will have to contribute.
Maybe some conditions will happen and I also saw a few hours ago some big accounts shut down their accounts.
