RE: No STEEM coin swap in near future! Steemit on Samsung Devices?
Steem is definitely a "value play" in the blockchain world... we have actual users and actual functioning use cases.
My mind keeps connecting the fact that Justin Sun had dinner with Warren Buffett (albeit for a heft price) three weeks ago... and now this. I wonder what they talked about? I wonder if something discussed greenlighted this deal in Justin's mind...
Yep, Sun mentioned that the community was the entire reason he made this deal... steem/steemit was one of the few blockchain/crypto places that actually has users...
If he values the community, how then does he think of swapping tokens?

Exactly. He flat out said he values the steem community.
Hmm, good and beautiful words. As we anticipate Communities in a few weeks, let him create a Tron community and we'll begin to see how true he is.

Regarding Buffett, I wish that was the case.
From everything I have gleaned, this deal had been in the background for a long time. Just waiting for the right time to be consummated. It would be nice though if Buffett had some part in it though :)
It might just be wishful thinking. But chances are you don't sit with "The Oracle" and not come away with some learning. Maybe even something as simple as "buy the proven value."
Yes, I'm sure the deal had been in the works for a long time. As I recall, there were some "hints" leaked as much as 2-3 months back. As for the timing, I have a feeling it was quite brilliant: The Tron/Steem alliance totally overshadowed the announcement that Dan's "Voice" project formally went into public Beta yesterday...

Yep agreed. The crypto space didn't even notice the Voice launch. Did it even launch lol?
Well said.
