If you guys didn't hear the "community" here is forking away and starting a new blockchain / blogging platform. It will be NEW NEW NeW nEW STEEM with the same code and same witnesses from a couple months ago when the price was $0.12 and tons of people had abandoned the platform.
I find it funny how many people who had left STEEM many months ago are suddenly back to "Fight" the evil Justin Sun in the name of decentralization. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
It is also funny how so many people acted like Steemit Inc devs were never getting anything done but suddenly once Justin took over everyone is supporting them because they had to quit instead of working for an Evil Tyrant like Justin.
That's Cool, There Will Be A Different Platform
If history repeats itself HIVE will be worth a fraction of the price that STEEM is worth. We can look at examples like Horizen, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum Classic as examples.
It will likely be another chain that people can content dump onto and most of the people besides a very small core group of those in charge will likely just post to both chains to earn rewards on both.
They really don't care about the power struggle supposedly in the name of decentralization.
The funny thing is I proposed a similar thing a long time ago and everyone ignored me. STEEM was fine and healthy.
My proposal was that the chain was getting bleed out by the witnesses anyways and was mainly being used to fund EOS related projects and other things so why not just bleed the chain away and start another project.
