Exciting news. When Justin will be stuck on his precious chain ran by his sock puppets, he should keep in mind that with short period power downs, he won't be the only one dumping... His stake will be worthless by the time the whole community dumps its own old-STEEM.
I support such a revolution and change. I will give my 100% to support the new chain with infrastructure and experience learned from being a witness and managing servers.
I shall await for the announcement, "Attention all Steemians, Abandon Blockchain, repeat abandon blockchain...Women and children first, proceed in an orderly fashion to the Hive lifeboats and make your way to the SS Hive."
"Not you J.S. Blye, a Captain goes down with his blockchain."
yup. Assuming JSun pushes through short powerdown as soon as he is in control of super majority of witnesses, I would be highly surprised if the market caps of old Steem and new chain don't flip within a week. EVERYONE is going to dump their Steem as soon as the short powerdown is pushed through, and almost all the current Steem whales are on board for new chain.
Better yet, we can convince exchanges Justin Sun is an attacker and he lied to them already, and the world, they could just swap the ChainID for us and we keep the original "Steem branding". The big problem with not going this route, is Bitcoin's hard forking talent into oblivion, no one works together on seperate platforms.
The short power down period would only be for Steemit stake and the 3 Exchanges. Everyone else will have a long Powwer Down period to keep them from dumping.
Hey old buddy! I've been on Steemit only intermittently the last while and have no idea what is going on. Sounds like good news, though?! Everything will just happen, though - nothing for me that I need to do?
Good timing as I now have a ton of content lined up after years of prepping and sorting a lot out. I should be able to be posting quality content 2-3x a week now. Excited if this is a new beginning for all of us!
Gosh! I love this!!!
I hope HIVE will have a good dApp finally.
