January 5. 2018, Howo and I began a series of Steem hackathons in our evenings and ...

... weekends resulting in us building the SteemPress plugin. Today, after two and a half years of building on Steem, the balance of our business account holding more than 20,000 will be "seized" and sent to a privately owned, centralized account alongside 23,6 million other tokens (that's 6.1% of the total Steem supply).

For what? Building a new chain that allowed those who disagrees with the direction of Steem to go a separate way? It's hard to understand given that for months now the Steem blockchain has been under full control of Steemit and the witnesses it selects.
