While immature, I can't say that crypto isn't full of drama.
As you will already know, Steem witnesses are stealing funds today, literally stealing. Essentially, they have chosen a series of large accounts and will transfer all of the Steem (about 7 million dollars worth currently) into a private account, owner unknown.
Their justification?
That the previous Steem witnesses who started Hive, stole millions of their ... ummm... no they didn't... they didn't steal shit.
The previous Steem witnesses did freeze the known Steemit Inc stake that then escalated into Steemit Inc forcing control of the blockchain by getting large exchanges to powerup customer funds and vote, but - nothing was destroyed, nothing was stolen.
At the start of the Hive blockchain, the ex-Steem witnesses chose not to airdrop a completely new token to those who partook in the centralization of the Steem blockchain, which destroyed the entire set of premises of the Steem blockchain, decentralization, immutability and ownership.
This last one is the most important of the three at this time, as what Hardfork 23 is going to do is steal Steem that belongs to accounts that have earned, bought and worked for their Steem in various ways. Some are ex-witnesses like, ,
and
, some are private investors like
, some are developers like
- all are real people, all have worked hard for Steem since they started on the blockchain, some of them from when the blockchain started, with many of them being fundamental in the 4 year survival of the blockchain.
While Steemit Inc can try to FUD everyone claiming they don't know about this, as the single voter who controls the governance, they are liable - with the centralization of the blockchain by them they have created a security and, they are now sanctioning and supporting through their stake, the theft of privately held property.
Isn't this insanity?
Yes.
It is also pathetic.
13 weeks of powerdown and everyone could have gone their separate ways...
