RE: Steem Town Hall - Today in 1 hour
This sounds like a great idea. The truth is still the same. Blockchain technology is like the Wild West. If there is no sign legal document, there is nothing. I don't know a judge anywhere that would try to uphold a handshake agreement (or a post or promise) between two parties, when a third party bought it and has the legal documents to prove he owns his stake. I love to watch all of the passion that is happening, but I think that the Steem Witnesses may be getting alittle out of their wheelhouse when they are trying to argue the definition of a legal contract, and no one sounded willing to create a legal document with Justin. You just seem to be gathering more documents that show exactly what everyone already knows. Ned made the "deal"...and no one denies that. What do you honestly think that this will achieve, even when they have no plan to uphold Ned's handshake? Seems like saber rattling. Cheers.

In innumerable examples of prior litigation, representations made in writing are evidentiary. If you disagree with this, please provide cites that prove your assertion. My counsel does not agree with your assertion.
Your understanding of what deal @ned and @justinsunsteemit undertook seems to be limited to statements of @justinsunsteemit orally and in writing regarding that deal. Do you have actual evidence besides that to base your assertions of what @ned did or didn't do?
If you do, please provide that evidence. I am unsatisfied that your representations here accurately characterize the substance of the transaction in question.
I appreciate your feedback, and I respect your view. I am simply using the examples that have been given here on the blockchain. It has been given from members of the Steem blockchain regarding whatever has happened. I'm not claiming to be any sort of attorney, I am just using good sense. If I were a betting man, I would bet that there is no legal leg to stand on. To follow that up...it doesn't matter. Who here would actually represent "the community" in any sort of legal action against Steemit Inc. Who is willing to shed their anonymity and step up and sue? looks around no? no takers?
I am just saying that it doesn't really matter what comes of this, what is the actual legal follow through that the Steem Witnesses could present? It just seems like a bunch of excitement and energy and passion...but beyond that I think they will find that the only option is to go along or fork. Nothing really changes. Be well
No one needs to represent the community. Injured parties are availed the legal process to remedy tortuous harm, which the exchanges have caused their customers by stealing their money so Sun could take over Steem governance. If enough of them pop up, an enterprising att'y could try to fold them into a class action.
Sun's bots acting as witnesses are currently failing to update the price feeds, which several witnesses have alleged will cause harm to the blockchain. That would, if true, injure all stakeholders. Again, torts are remedied by legal action, and if enough of us pursue remedy at law class action can ensue.
Financial harm is litigated alla time. It's why lawyers rule the world.
Sad, but true.
If we interpret their argument at face value, that Steemit Inc. inherited a contractual obligation, then they are gathering evidence that can be used against themselves, as they are the party attempting to prevent Steemit Inc. from fulfilling this alleged contractual obligation.
Well I won a lawsuit on that principle if a handshake.. But if It's somewhere on the blockchain it's the same as a contract. If you go 1 year back you can also find something because they wanted to freeze ned wallet of the ninja mined tokens I also recall that he said that it would be used for development etc.
Sweet. Was the handshake between you and someone else. Or was the handshake between two other people and you were the third party?
It was the handshake between me and someone else.
In this case, the handshake did not involve Justin.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 nope Mr. Sun is Mr sun. But I see that we have 7? Witnesses back.
