RE: Hanes purchases Steemit Inc
As if.
You can't play in both teams. If you play in Justin's team you will lose everyone the Steem blockchain. That's the same as shooting yourself in the foot.

Some people are on neither team, because they didn't like the old team and they aren't much of a fan of the new one.
There is more than the light and the dark side of the Force, there is also magenta.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes...
The problem is, that if you don't support the community against Justin, you are making so much easier for him to take over, thus in the end it doesn't mean anything if you have your own opinions about things. You'll end up losing along everyone else.
I can assure you he doesn't care about your personal demands, but he will gladly use you to break down the social cohesion of the Steem community, and take over.
So, not helping the community is really playing in Justins corner and akin to pissing in your own cereal.
Stop calling it the "community" because it is not. Steem is currently designed as a plutocracy and for quite some time the vast majority of people disliked things and still lost in decision making. I do not consider the witnesses that put in HF22 "the community" and I won't support them. Both sides can just keep buying STEEM to add votes for themselves and I'm happily selling to them on exchanges in this turf war and it is improving buy pressure.
Yep, you are the one who can stay with Justin's fork.
Dude, I'd own tokens on both. That is how forks go. its amazing that you don't know that.
Aren't you the greedy one. I was talking about the community. You are the one going on about money.
If you cared about something other than money, like censorship-resistant blogging, you'd be way more into IPFS. You either are very uneducated about this subject or you're full of shit. Steem's consensus is decided by 17 individuals, there are corporate boards of directors more decentralized than that. The US Senate is WAY more decentralized than that...
I have been complaining about DPoS, along with many other people in the blockchain world for years. Only now, that Justin bought up our plutocracy and is doing things with DPoS that you all dislike, suddenly, a lot of people, including consensus witnesses like Luke Stokes are beginning to get the picture.
I have had the guts to speak out against the terrible, very possibly illegal behavior going on in Steem long before Justin came. Justin is not the start of the problem, really, the corrupt people here hate that their crony capitalism is being hijacked while there's still water in the well. I spoke out against the shameful actions of the Burnpost project. I called out the hypocrisy of Steemcleaners, Burnpost, SBDpotato and other initiatives that make money off spam and steal from the author pool but go after others that make money off spam too.
So yeah, I won't take sides with bad guys because the other guys might possibly be worse bad guys.
You are so boring. You keep using the blockchain while you clearly hate it. Make your own fork if you don't like it. Nagging only makes others resent you.
If you want to help, do it constructively, don't try splinter and kill the community.
