I'm torn on this. I never advocated for Justin Suns stake to be taken, nor approved. However, having said that before I move on to my largest dilemma in this, I do wonder at the legalities of using that stake in a manner not consistent with the language used in the Bitcointalk forums at the beginning of Steem (as well as other areas I don't remember offhand). I believe it is reasonable for there to be a panic and show of force when out of the blue stake that was proclaimed dedicated to the growth with no interference in the chain is suddenly being used in such a manner.

My largest dilemma? Justin cries over his stake being frozen when he came out of the gate saying he was going to destroy all of our stake. It was ill conceived on his part to think he could waltz in after buying that Steem (no way do I buy that Ned didn't tell him the preconditions laid out at the beginning), announce he was killing off our chain/token and forcing us to a new token side chain of his chain. In that light, it seems to me to be a form of self defense. If I wanted Tron tokens or some form of side token from it, I would have gotten some already.

I believe the announcement made by Blocktrades yesterday is the correct path forward. Create a new chain using a snapshot and exclude that stake from participation in it. Then the burden for the new chain will be on Justin to keep afloat. He comes off as believing he bought a community when he bought that stake.

Ned made it perfectly clear in a recent interview that his stake was 100% free of any community obligations.

100% free of any community obligations.

Yet his earlier statements, coupled with 4 years I believe of his actions backing those statements, do tell a different story.

While I agree that Ned was probably sincere at the time those statements were made, they were not considered legally-binding and Ned has since, "abandoned steem" and sold his stake to Justin Sun with ZERO pre-conditions to do with it as they see fit.
