RE: Your stake in Steem on centralized exchanges was just used to take over the Steem Blockchain
The witnesses voting was pretty much a joke for the last 3 years as it has been in the last 12 hours. Just because there were a handful of other chose ones replaced by sock puppet accounts isn't that big of a difference to be honest with you.
Most of us got little to no support here regardless. What is the difference?
True, nobody is denying that #Steem governance has been a clusterfuck and dominated by large stake holders.
There's a big difference and that's called contribution to the ecosystem. Devs, content creators and witnesses working to try and improve the chain, as flawed as it was.
The new witnesses are all proxies of a single actor thanks to centralized exchange tokens. To me this is not the same thing at all.
True I will give you that because there were witnesses trying to contribute but a lot of us fell on the outs and really were called cry babies essentially by those in power who were mainly there because @freedom put them there and they were voting for each other. So the power moves that were made were a lot slower or less obvious than this.
I don't agree with the way this went down but in Justin's defense if you bought a Lambo and suddenly a crack baby was trying to jack the wheels would you hesitate to hit them upside the head with a tire iron ?
