Hi Treepi,

in the announcement post Hive account@softfork222 we tried to explain everything very carefully.

Steemit Inc's stake (I assume that's what you mean with Justin) was far from removed from the blockchain by softfork222. After 1 week of uncertainty and reaching out to the new owners of the stake without meaningful responses and only alarming PR-publications around "token swaps" and "propietary blockchain" to go on... more than a week of discussions, testing and finally implementing took place to, mind you, temporarily block certain operations from being included in blocks produced by the then Top20 witnesses as well as a majority of backup-witnesses. This was just done to mitigate a risk and to no longer just count on "promises", which by then, had not come anyhow... Only the alarming PR-publications and no responses. Because if waiting and a malicious action would be undertaken, the only way out would have been a hardfork.

Little could we know that the influence of the new owner of the Steemit Inc company was so big that he could single handedly call friends who are billionaires and own the biggest crypto exchanges on the world, to do him a favour, and abuse the funds of their customers (of which many are Steem users) and decide to vote against many the will of the majority of the community.

After that we saw the true rise of DPOS... The community started voted, calling friends, powering up and we saw huge efforts outside of the blockchain. The crypto world was (and is) watching us now. Let's see how this ends...

I hope this explains the situation a bit more and helps you have another angle at this situation.
