RE: TRON strikes back - And now they own the Steem blockchain

But no one has died here

The decentralized 'dream' died. And that is what makes me sad.

Also, this have implications beyond Steem.

While it was debatable if soft fork 22.2 was right/needed/useful, Justin actions are not.

It's ethically wrong, no matter what your culture is, specially he "promissed" to have a talk with top 50 witness. It's a plain sight betrayal.

Besides that, exchanges using users funds for anything else than be a custodian of these funds is wrong, and illegal in any other financial market.

Exchanges aren't banks. They are not allowed to use client funds to do any kind of leverage.

And if every power move we see in the world were applauded as a 'genius move' then the world would be way shittier than what already is.

What the exchanges did was somewhat detestable.

What do you think about current situation @phgnomo, @juanmolina?

It's becoming more and more interesting.

The decentralized 'dream' died. And that is what makes me sad.

I think we're witnessing some sort of decentralization for the very first time. Before we hasd situation similar to democratic country , where there is only one party and almost all 20 politicians are representing this one party.

We were centralized - and now we're "centralized less" :)

I wasn't going to post anymore about this subject, but man... it's hard not to...

I think we're witnessing some sort of decentralization for the very first time.

Not really. What we are witnessing now is just the prove of how fragile the steem decentralization is.

Yes, it happened using unethical means, but it could also happens by legitimate ways, by someone just buying more steem and convincing other people to vote for him.

It's nice what we are seeing, the fight to block the Hard Fork, but honestly, i think it will be useless in the end. Justin will have it his way in the end.
