So what is it?
We call this stake Justin acquired to be unfair, ninja-mined, illegally taken. Yet, everyone wants him to spend it on us.
I don't want Justin to take over steem and have his little puppet show either and I am amazed how much we managed to push back. Good job everyone!
Yet it amazes me to see people refer his stake as a stolen tv and say "even though you brought it, it's still stolen...(but please by all means put it up for us all to watch).
Maybe I will regret this post tomorrow when the hangover kicks in.
But some of you guys should really check up on your opinions. I could make a lot of these flowers pictures.
Did someone say milk?

It was a perfect business transaction. I think if you look at it, most people would say that it was the most legal and perfect transaction that ever happened. Also, Ned is one of the best guys. It's true. so true.
Some folks on the other side are saying that the stake was ninja mined. So many lies. Ninjas probably aren't even real. I never saw one.

The steem community accepted the ninja-mined funds on the promise that they would be used to help develop the community. I fail to see the hypocrisy in asking that the funds be used for their originally stated purpose.

I fail to see any substantial attempt to make sure these funds would be used for exactly that. Most just empty promises on Ned's behalf.

Obviously they were empty promises.
The promises were still made though. Are you calling people hypocrits for expecting someone to keep their promises? Do you even know what that word means?

How does gradually equate to voting for 20 witnesses that didnt exit until the keys switched hands?

???
The funds were regularly sold for fiat used to pay the salaries of a number of developers at Steemit, Inc who developed the blockchain code. How is that not using the funds for their original promised purpose?

Can you please source this information, me and the author of this post would both like to see the fine print you're quoting, because I remember something very differently worded but using a few of the same words you use.

Justin Sun did not want to decentralize the voting power.
I want to sympathize with Justin as a libertarian, but be did not respect the decentralized aspect of that statement when he used he sock puppets
Up until the moment the sock puppet accounts were voted for, even making them is fine, voting for them with Steem Inc is the violation, that is not decentralized, that is a group of witnesses controlled by 1 accounts vote.
1 vote, vs 180,000.

Assuming Ned never mentioned the steemit stake was promised to be used for development then I too sympathize with Justin. But he needs to be going after Ned for that, not the community.

I agree with you, I can see you deeply care about steem and will respond so I will follow you and debate you on future topics.
Justin is in fact the victim here.
I have heard he wants out and I'd rather see @ned in court over the community suffering.
Maybe @ned should just pay reparations for any damages done since crypto is getting serious, with his pay grade and net worth now, no one will doubt his ability to reimburse any victim of his entrepreneurial decisions, which he is responsible for to the fullest extent of the law being at the level these boys are trading at.

There is zero people in my feed that want @justinsunsteemit to spend the Steem Power.
Where is the posts you claim to see this speculation in, so far you're the only one o have seen with such an outlandish idea.
