@ned has Sold Steemit to Tron

Hive account@liberosist has revealed that Steemit has been sold to Tron.

This is something we have had a little advance warning about, but it is a very significant development for folks on Steem. Note that Steem is not Steemit. Hive account@ned will AMA soon, and questions about the stake Hive account@steemit holds in Steem may be answered there. It is known that Hive account@steemit has immense stake in Steem, and probably can wield sufficient VP to replace any witnesses that may resist whatever Tron has in mind for Steem.

I have enjoyed my ability to post here. Steem is actually the last censorship resistant vector for my posts. I have been banned, blocked, or unwilling to post on other platforms due to censorship issues.

I will have to examine whether changes certain to arise from this transaction will enable me to continue posting here.

Thanks to all of you that have made my enjoyment of Steem possible, if I am no longer able to post here after today.

Much love.
