Again, in complete agreement. Its amazing how many level headed people don't see the points you made.

Particularly this:

the exchanges would have never had to step in if a few centralized people didn't move to freeze Tron's stake. The way I see it, that was the only way Justin could do something about it.

And I used the term "extortion" when describing it, but we also see that point exactly the same.

Nice to see some clear thinking @block.kids! You're a breath of fresh air :)
