"My early thoughts are that there must be an incentive to current stakeholders to move and swap to a new blockchain which may be dilutive to our stakes."

I think the incentive is one of the best...to stay in business. Steemit has been in a rapid decline since last year, with I suspect, not much time left. To sell to (or merge with) Tron, Steemit's shareholders will get something; to let Steemit fold (which I believe it was destined to do on its current path), Steemit's shareholders would get nothing.

We do not need Steemit to stay in business. The changes made by the community over the last two years have made it more sustainable. Steem can live without Steemit as was proven during the same period.

"We do not need Steemit to stay in business."

I agree! It was Steemit that I saw going out of business, not Steem. It was also Steemit that was the biggest drag on Steem's resources. The Steemit platform was rapidly failing due to its lack of new members, and of course, lack of revenue. This move to Tron will no doubt result in some major changes to Steemit, but it was necessary in order to keep the forum alive.

If we get censored, we truly lose everything.

No amount of tokens is worth my voice.

Not really! Sometime censorship is absolutely necessary in order to protect the young and the innocent. Besides, censorship happens virtually everywhere in one way or another. It's a fact of life. Even here on Steemit, posts are being censored by higher-reputation members, who do not like their content for one reason or another, by down-voting them. With enough downvotes (sometimes no more than one), posts are hidden and their authors' reputations ruined. That IS censorship in its truest sense, no matter by what other name some may wish to call it.

Unfortunately. the Steemit platform ended up with far too many idiots like @themarkymark and @buildawhale with high reputations, who chose to abuse their down-voting power, and silence anyone who disagreed with them. And that is why Steemit failed and is now being taken over by Tron. Tron is now left with the task of trying to cleanup the mess that Steemit's corrupt management, and those like @themarkymark and @buildawhale created. If Tron succeeds, Steemit will once again become a great forum. If on the other hand, Tron fails to clean up the Steemit mess, Steemit will shut down for good.

"...here on Steemit..."

I am not on Steemit. You are not conversing with me on Steemit.

In addition to you not grasping the difference between Steem and Steemit, I utterly and vehemently disagree with you regarding censorship, and expect to see that disagreement reflected going forward during this transition.

Go with Steemit. Steem will be better off without you.
