Nice, dude. And don't be mistaken: the witnesses aren't some saints who are selflessly looking to cure cancer or shit like that. Everyone has an agenda. And it sure as hell isn't stuff like "Holy blockchain principles and decentralization" that they preach lol.

That said, I don't see a reason to trust Justin, either. Hell, I guess I just kinda don't like anybody around here lol.

Agree. I would just add that usually, the ones with the tiniest wallets are the loudest.

For sure.

Not so sure about that when perhaps the largest publicly known investor on Steem @theycallmedan has been the loudest both on and off Steem.

Blocktrades has also made his points very clear.

I read most of the post and I'm well aware. The point was about the different agendas.
The last one you're mentioned probably is not interested in steem to be added to any new exchange. Some daaps would like to cooperate with Tron., and so on.
Just repeating the same story what's happened without propositions and negotiations will not bring any progress. What's your vision? Who gonna fund all development and marketing, servers? Blocktrades, Theycallmedan?
Steemit had a couple of full-time devs I guess.
But please, don't start SPS. That's pocket change.

My vision is a open and transparent web where anyone can be a part and own a part.

On a higher level, there are really just 3 key pillars in Steem that are essential to enable this, all else are technical features to complement or support it:

• A transparent and immutable open ledger with social features and with social names rather than 20 number letters.
• Personal ownership and control over one's own accounts, content, and communities.
• Complemented with a fast, feeless and programmable currency that enables people to do business directly P2P without a middle-man and where sponsors/advertisers can have more direct relationships with the creators/communities they support resulting in both getting more out of it.

I wish we focused more on building with these foundations to enable a more traditional platform economy to exist. Rather than doubling down on proof of brain and inflation-based rewards as if we had already demonstrated it to work (yey SMTs).

As for dev funding, there are certainly stakeholders that stand to gain a lot from being the larger stakeholders on a potential new chain. People who were even offered to buy Steemit Inc at various points in time which is now public knowledge. To what extent they're willing to hire or fund the previous Steemit Inc devs is their question to answer.

That said, I know most of those who left in person and as good friends and know that they are still working on their own projects for Steem. I'll leave it to them to make any further announcements as to what exactly that'll be.

I've been away for so long, I'm just like who the fuck even is Theycallmedan lol.
