Why I won’t be compromising with Justin Sun

in steem •  5 years ago 

I support this move, but I don't think it's without danger.

Justin won't like this, and with him all people that are fundamentally against freezing funds in a blockchain. Forking funds out is a very harsh statement, much harsher than soft-fork 22.2 was. I expect resistance from a not insignificant part of the community, including from several (former) community consensus witnesses.

Please make sure we're all on the same page before executing this idea...

Nobody is being “forked out.” Justin will still have his STEEM. We are simply creating a second chain with a new ID and new name, and then migrating to that new fork of the Steem blockchain.

Justin can then do whatever he wants with his worthless tokens. It won’t be our problem anymore.

We're not forking out his funds, Steem chain will still run and he'll have his Steem (but it probably won't be worth much). We're starting a second chain, Hive, with an airdrop on Steemians. And we're not dropping on the Steemit stake.

Most of the community consensus witnesses have already given their blessing and support for the idea, I suspect there will be less than a handful of the top 50 that oppose it (counting 50 down while ignoring the sockpuppets).

I got a question, if the new blokchain is hive, what domain will be used as hive.com and hive.org are taken.

Will be announced later.

Some years ago, the world opened up to hive.anythingyouwant

We are removing a bad actor in the community. We are not taking away his ball..
We are playing the game without him, with our ball, and our field.
