I for one, totally disagree with you on where the leverage lies. The community literally has the leverage here, as far as support of the Steem chain goes.
The apparent reason he purchased Steemit was to bring that community to Tron. If he forks and creates another chain without the Steem community supporting it, then there was never a reason to buy Steemit anyways: he could have just forked the chain and have it supported by Tron people.
sorry for barging in but do you think the community has enough leverage to push further development of SMTs? or to launch it before justin forcefully tries to "migrate" everything to some unknown token? what do you see happening down the road now that justin has "lost face" and might as well be looking for a way to backstab the witnesses when he sees the chance?
He has no power now. He cant vote in witnesses and he cant token swap. If he had control over the top 20 witnesses then he might have been able to dismantle Steem (which was his original idea), retain exchanges and move Steem to Tron.
Now he cant do nothing.
My only fear is that witnesses let up and trust him on his word.
We need to remember that ITS HIS PROBLEM that he bought tainted stake, not ours.
He should have done his research..
Well done witnesses.
Why I was right and you were wrong I'll never understand.
Apparently he bought Steemit, Inc just to pump another shitcoin. Not to acquire the 5000+ community of Steem.
What a surprise.
It's endlessly fascinating to me the levels of self deception that people such as yourself are capable of. Or do you just not know how to read English well? Witnesses were warning all along that Tron's interest was Tron and not Steem.
And if the plan was to just pump a random coin, this was about the dumbest way anyone could ever do it: picking a coin where an engaged community will openly oppose manipulation attempts. There's much easier prey out there.
Of course his interest was Tron.
I was saying I was right about the leverage, how is this self deception? It all ended up in a shitstorm where no one wins.
It was just a dumb move risking everything and it did not payoff.
