Trading Steem for an ERC-20 token?

Sounds crazy right? But it was just announced about 2 hours ago directly from the owner of Dlive's mouth. Honestly I am very shocked and was not expecting this at all. I read some comments in their post where people said they knew this was coming. I am not sure what could have made them think that because this caught me completely off guard.

The Steem eco-system has been around for 2 1/2 years. We did not start out as an ICO like most of these shitcoin projects do. Now of course this place didn't have a picture perfect start but we survived and made it to this point. Like Hive account@exyle stated last month we have reached the end of an amazing journey and now is when we will truly see value being added to this place.

Why trade a functioning blockchain for one that hasn't even created one block. Steemit Inc was delegating over 2 million SP for free. With that amount they could have really done something great to grow this place. All the reasons they give for leaving in my humble opinion is BULLSHIT!!!! It does't make sense to trade in a Bentley with free gas in exchange for a Honda with no engine. I read somewhere that "Lino" ( the shitcoin they are trading Steem for) raised 20 million in their ICO. Haha Steem had 0 ICO and we are worth over 200 million and we were over 1 Billion when the Bulls were roaming the markets. So to me the numbers don't make sense. Maybe Lino promised them Dlive would be the official video platform for their clockchain (can't say blockchain they don't have one).

I think this is a slap in the face for every Steem user. Now I know lately things have slowed up for everyone including myself but once the hardfork was announced the sentiment started changing. I understand the frustration of many of the users out there but to all of you I say this. Keep your head up and in the game. This place is about to blow up and all the defectors will be back including DLive.

We don't know the full story yet and who knows we may never know. One thing I do know is that Dtube still has their delegation and Dlive doesn't. I haven't looked into when they lost the delegation so I won't say that is the reason they are leaving.

For a long time I preferred Dtube over Dlive and I have always said I liked their project more. Since my posts started earning less I couldn't afford to post on Dtube because of the percentage they take. So I started using Dlive and doing live streams. Honestly the second I saw the Dlive post today I felt sick to my stomach. I feel like shit for not using Dtube. So from this point forward I will not use Dlive. I hope more users do the same. Oh I almost forgot Dtube was the first fully functioning video app on the Steem blockchain NOT dlive!!! Get it right Hive account@wa7.

I want these guys to feel the wrath so join me in using the #fuckdlive tag and share your feeling about the move even if you disagree with me. I am very passionate and have been using this place for over a year. I have had ups and I have had downs. I have made some bad decisions in terms of what I did with my money and I am paying for it now dearly. But even when my SP goes down under 1000 I will still be here. Steem is the best thing to ever happen to me. I am no prophet but we will remain a dominant force in the crypto world for decades to come. We are one of the very few coins with a real use case the everyday person can enjoy. SteemMonsters is just one example of the types of things that can be done here. I feel sorry for dlive I honestly do.
