Dear Justin Sun – (@justinsuntron / @justinsunsteemit) - My (@lilacse) open letter to you!

Dear Justin,

I'm going to make this short. You are a busy man, and with the amount of open letters flooding across Steem I believe you don't have time. In fact I might be the most unpriviledged one to write this since I wasn't active on the platform while you did the purchase. However as a user of the platform since February 2018, I have to voice my opinions on this ridiculous nightmarish trainwreck you have brought upon everyone involved.

First of all, I was mad, but wasn't totally mad at you overtaking the chain for your funds to be unlocked instead of trying to communicate and deescalate. In comparison, I was more mad at the exchanges that did the power up without doing prior research. However as days passed, you proved to be worthy of all the anger and hate pointed at you. You really exhibited your extreme talent on eliciting disapproval from a community you just got yourself in.

We should just look at one point. On how you went against your own words.

Originally, as the core development team behind the Steem blockchain and key contributor to the ecosystem, Steemit used their stake for continued development of the Steem blockchain, onboarding users, and not voting for witnesses. The TRON Foundation is committed to add value and grow the Steem ecosystem and intends to use part of the Steemit stake for such executions.

This is directly copy-pasted from your open letter two weeks ago. What now?

When you voted for witnesses, you are using all parts of the stake for witness voting. There is no explanation loophole to this.

I'm not going to grab any more sources because you know what you have been doing for all this time. I can tell that you are working your way towards a solution that is somehow following what you have promised (returning governance to the community) but is not exactly so. We're not stupid, and the system is 100% transparent (except for what you want to play under the table?). It's quite a snake move, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it can bring your business to.

On business, I always thought that trust comes first. After this, I'm also looking forward to seeing how you will do your next business. Eyes are everywhere.

Since the 0.22.5 takeover happened, I always tried to remain neutral. With that being said, I do not necessarily agree with every pro-Steem group that are making waves. I won't call names, but I do not agree with certain pro-Steem groups/individuals' actions on Twitter. I also somehow agree with part of your decision to block some of them because right now certain parts of the microblogging platform is not much more than a middle school's recess hour, and that is not what you should be focusing on. I even agree that you have to let someone that is not you to face the Steem community in discussions because that is indeed a better choice (as of now). However, I wholeheartedly disagree with every single tweet you have made regarding the incident, and every single transaction (be it a vote/witness approve/delegation change) you directed on the Steem blockchain since the takeover. It seems like you know nothing on what you are dealing with. Also it seems like you are absolutely not learning anything at all.

It is the actions that counts. I couldn't care less on how much empty hype you can give without showing transparency and proofs that we are moving there, and how far you want to further "govern" the chain with your high IQ moves. But it's your business. You should care. We community have the last nuclear option in the end. You don't.

Oh, did I say to make it short? Do you feel cheated? That's what we all feel right now.

One last thing - Frankly, I think I know why you are doing all this. Read some news yesterday and I think I'm probably correct. If my guess is true, my suggestion to you is to drop Steem and go find another blockchain. Our community is pretty much uncontrollable as you can see so stop burning money for nothing.

Or hey you can implement what you need on Steemit, you bought it after all.

Have a week of good decision making,

--Lilacse
