Actually, that is a nice video from exyle. I get what he saying about a precedent has been set.
Let me however offer a different persepective.
Assume the soft fork did not take place. We already saw the rhetoric about steem moving to Tron. Justin himself said it. He wanted Steem to become a TRC token on the Tron blockchain and Steemit would have been its front end.
- If that intention was actualized, would you have moved to Tron?
- Why does Sun feel he has the right to dissolve the Steem blockchain just because he bought a massive stake? He is just one individual. Isn't that centralization?
The question of whether the soft fork was a great or poor decision will be answered over the course of the coming weeks. Let's see what Justin Sun does once he gains consensus on the Steem blockchain.
My estimation? He will actualize his HF allowing only Binance, maybe Huobi, and his own account to power down in 1-3 days. He will dump against the market soon after.
You are buying into the narrative, the one that threatens those that hold power now. Do you think Sun could have forced those Steem out of your account somehow? The Fork option was always there and could have been used at anytime, there was no need to freeze his stake.
I am not sure if Sun will be good or bad for Steem, its sad he wasn't given the benefit of the doubt, we could be here right now just the same if he slipped up, there was no need to poke the bear. He has lots of money, connections and loads of hype. Could have given him some time and if it wasn't working out or no agreement could be reached on the ninja stake then fork.
The ninja stake was never clear cut enough for me, I wish it was but the evidence proves otherwise and also others ninja mined as well. Justin Sun came to Steem and was welcomed with a punch in the mouth.

Justin Sun has already censored posts on the Steemit front end through code. Anything about Hive from outspoken people has been removed from Steemit.com.
When he bought the stake there was an AMA and he did not even answer pertinent questions from the community. He was also contacted by various witnesses before the soft fork but never replied.
It wasn't until the soft fork that he came to the table to discuss his plan for Steem but even then he was doing other things under the table.
Whatever the case, everybody has a choice. Stay on the Steem Blockchain or move to Hive. There is no right or wrong. Just hope you are on the right side of this whole debacle.
Anyway, this was a nice discourse but all my activity will be on hive from now on.
All the best to you.

Unfortunately it has totally disintegrated into to tit for tat now.
All the best on Hive

The entire situation is just one big mess, I personally am/was not against the soft fork as I don't see bad intentions and it didn't really compromise his funds even though it set a precedent. The hostile takover by Sun was just extremely stupid. I do understand both sides though as there is no valid evidence on the ninja mined stake. It's just the idea that many people now got forked out who did nothing wrong that makes little sense. We'll see where it out goes from here on out.

Mistakes have been made and will continue to be made. I don't want anything to do with what Sun has implied are his visions for Steem and I can only be grateful there is an alternative.
All I am saying is, if you supported Justin (in code it is anybody who upvoted sock puppets and had more than 1000SP and sock puppets themselves and obviously Steemit Inc accounts) then why would you want free Hive tokens?
As for the fence-sitters, like the proxy.token account they really can't protest. You can't do nothing and expect reward for it.
Let's see how it all shapes up. Hope to see you on the other side though.
