Why Did We Choose This Path?steemCreated with Sketch.

Our chain was dying but the tech and social aspects had potential. A top crypto figure with a lot of pull comes in and invests big. We break our own DPOS rules to pre emptively fuck him in the ass because of some shit ned may or may not have promised. The guy we fucked over didn't even know what hit him and had to resort to calling in big favors to defend his own stake. Now he wants out. In this process we piss him off, lose most of the devs, break our own dpos rules, piss off 3 big exchanges, lose the domain name, add about 70-100m of selling pressure and most of the stakeholders seem to be patting themselves on the back.

Even before all of this, left to our own devices we were trading at a solid 12-15c.

Sigh, you couldn't make this shit up.

Now I must be completely fucking mental because I feel most of the community and existing stakeholders sort of went out of their own way to fuck ourselves. Why did it play out this way?

Your telling of the story sounds pretty accurate, as told from
a Justin Sun side... 🤷‍♂️

No, he wasn't (neither was I). It's just a question of who's post he plagiarised (razz11 likes to plagiarise you see). And it was... this one -

oops 2 Rep now

🤣

Ouch. Brutal.

Do you have a flag trail?
I'd help! I'm an old fan of @steemchiller too
I was here for the $8.50 steem price

💪😎👍

I'm still so new that I need to ask a potentially dumb question - What's a flag trail?

I'm so pissed off with people plagiarising content - I've even had people copying my own work recently. I've only been registered for a month!

I'm slowly building up my power so that I can influence people doing it. So far, a few have listened but most just keep going. Following them, flagging everything and down voting doesn't seem to make much difference... yet.

I can only imagine what it was like in those heady days - the quality of content appears to have been consistently higher but with silly playground games happening.

@steemchiller - I'm not sure if you'd see this otherwise (and I'd like you to) so am tagging you here instead - https://steemit.com/plagiarism/@the-gorilla/steemit-plagiarism-premier-league

Thanks again for your support. Not the "special thanks" you get from people just tagging you for the sake of it, but a genuine thanks for supporting me in this shitty poop of a job I've decided to do.
