EOS42 Statement on Block Producer Decision to Freeze 7 EOS Accounts

in eosio •  6 years ago 

It is my opinion that @anahita is far less at fault than the people who willingly gave up their private keys to a phishing site. Since the EOS foundation has demonstrated it employs a top-down centralized approach to governance, then real solution is for EOS to issue new tokens to the victims of the theft (considering they've been printing as many new tokens as they can sell on an ongoing basis for the last two years anyway).

If @anahita doesn't get to keep the tokens he/she purchased because a small council comprised on only 21 members privately voted to freeze the accounts of EOS accounts, then EOS cannot be considered decentralized, in any sense of the word - no matter how you try to twist it.

Any BPs that voted to privately approve this absurd request in blind faith deserve to get their BP status revoked asap. And this it what will eventually happen. The EOS network apparently launched prematurely, before the on-chain governance was in place, so now 21 elites centrally voted on an extremely important issue without seeking input from the vast majority of stakeholders.

If nothing else, the BPs who voted to approve freezing these accounts demonstrated extremely poor critical thinking skills, and in my opinion, cannot not be relied upon to represent the best interests of a decentralized ecosystem.

For what it's worth, I can no longer support the EOS vision for blockchain unless this decision is reversed.
