And here we are...

What a day.

I don't even know what to say, but I guess that this has been a very good lesson in "not your keys, not your Steem" and why keeping non-trading tokens on exchanges is a fucking shit idea. There was about 42 million Steem held between Huobi, Binance and the stolen Steem on Poloniex.

Well----

Welcome to Facebook under Mark Zucker.. Justin Sun.

I think his intentions are clear now, and I am guessing the witnesses might be rethinking the idea of reducing witness votes to 7 that was floated some two years ago.... "That vector of attack will never happen...."

OOPS!

As said, I really don't have much to say and I am guessing that all of the autovoters are down so I don't have to worry about getting all that STEEM as rewards. Soon though, the witnesses will get more! Of course, those witnesses aren't going to be the ones that you might be familiar with, those who actually use the blockchain. Instead, they are going to be Tron block producers and the centralized exchanges.

For liquidity or payment? I'd say payment as they don't really give a shit about their user base as they staked the Steem they held there and voted with it, and definitely didn't vote the way the community would have. Well, perhaps they did - after all, most of the Steem on the exchanges is sourced from the original ninja mine anyway.

Well, I have to go and get a loan for a house that I will buy tomorrow and see how this storm is going to be weathered. While there are going to be a lot of strong emotions flying around, Steem is not dead yet, although I do think that it Steem as we have known it is dead. Things are going to be forever changed, and while some things might be for the better, a lot will not.

Innocence lost.

The payment is for liquid steem on binance (who locked all their liquid steem for 13 weeks), if clients want their coins. They hoping nobody will notice they got scammed...

Streisand effect
The Streisand effect is when an attempt to stop publicity causes more publicity, when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of publicizing that information, often via the Internet. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California inadvertently drew further attention to it.
Attempts to suppress information are often made through cease-and-desist letters, but instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity, as well as media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, which can be mirrored on the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks.It is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, they are more motivated to access and spread that information.

better intentions are known early rather than when tons of people have invested... assuming it's all small peanut people who still rely on the steemit interface..

I mean, this thing is still practically in beta..

It's not good vibes though.. but of course, everyone knows.. you want a decentralized blockchain then it's gotta be decentralized..

Steem as we know it is indeed the past. Lots of users will stop posting due to the fact that no autovotes will arrive anymore.
It is really pity to see that so many steem dapps are shut down. This will hurt steem more than the hostile take-over this morning. The dapps were more or less the backbone of the steem community. Some of those dapps were vital for the community.
Just like you I have no idea what the future will bring. But regardless of the outcome, it won't be for the good.

Good luck with the house!

Cheers,
Peter

For sure that isn't the biggest problem we are facing today on the steem blockchain. But I am curious to the stats post created this week. Probably a record low.
Regardless of the autovoting I will keep on posting because I do like to write and post. I do like to engage.

!ENGAGE 15
