A message to the #Tron army: Show Up.
I tweeted this a couple hours ago, and it's starting to go viral:
1.4k views already? Cool.
You know how much Twitter will pay me for this 30 seconds of my time?
Nothing.
The Steem blockchain, however, will reward me with some tokens based on the stake-weighted vote of Steem Power holders who like to support my content with their upvotes. That is pretty cool.
If you'd like to see the Tron community show up here on Steem, get some skin in the game, and follow @justinsunsteemit's lead and buy some STEEM then feel free to retweet that one and let's see what happens.
Also, there's still time to get your thoughts in on a good hashtag for this Tron/Steemit (and potentially, Steem, if the Tron community is worthy of us) merger. So far, it seems like #steemtron is in the lead. Vote on Twitter or on chain with dPoll or better yet, create your own poll and spread it far and wide.
If you are new to Steem because of this Tron business, be sure to say so in the comments.

They are woefully misled about our chain but likewise is their supreme liar errr I mean leader.
Damn it Sigmund Freud.. you got me again!
Do you think this will prevent him from eventually putting this chain on ice? Do you not understand? He wants the userbase on HIS creation. One advantage we have is he thinks he can port Steem to Tron the way it is. (C++ - Java).

Why do you think this happened so near to the launch of Voice???
Connect •--• the •--• dots
THE SUNSET IS INEVITABLE!
::Taps finger on forehead meme::
..and Voice is a trap!
Hmmm...
Do u know what i like about steem around this tron/steemit partnership. It's that we are having discussion on our own protocol, so eating our own food while having fun supporting each other. This has value. In accounting it's called goodwill value.
Long live Steem. If i have a chance to pick a priority for justin, it will be to invest on interoperable solutions for the 2 chains.
Heck yeah! I'm all about us eating our own dogfood.
What do you think of a coordinated effort to help Tron users set up a Steem account through @anonsteem? This might create more interest in getting involved with Steemit. I don't have much, but I would sponsor a couple of accounts for new Tron members if someone would organize it.
Yeah, that might be a good idea. I see a number of people saying they are having delays signing up.
Haha good one! I should of thought of that 😂

@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 10/15 - need recharge?)
Doing that.
great message man! I think we all need to look at this in a positive light. I have my skeptical thoughts, but I am starting to try to take a more optimistic approach. I do hope we can all welcome the Tronians with open arms and just have one big ass awesome community! It is good to see the fire though in the STEEM community for sure over this.
Saw your tweet made my day lol Kudos!
How is Life in Puerto Rico right now?
Solid? Who runs the government?
Greetings ;)
Life is fantastic!
I don't spend too much time worrying about government.
That sounds good, if they don't bother...that's the best ;)
