RE: Poll: What do you believe about the rumor regarding the alleged interest of Tron and Justin Sun to acquire Steemit, Inc.?

in #dpoll4 years ago

If this is real, it will offer huge visibility to Steem, and we will all benefit from it.

My only concern is that it is too good to be real, and I don't fully understand what Justin Sun is buying, as I thought that all is open source...

Sort:  

The company Steemit, Inc. That's the only thing to buy, if that were true.

Yes, but what are the assets of Steemit Inc? From what I know, STEEM is transferred to the fundation, code is open source, hardware infrastructure is with Witnesses...

What foundation? If you mean Steem Foundation, there was promised some initial contribution by Steemit, Inc., but the large STEEM stake remains Steemit's. So is the stake from misterdelegation and a few other smaller accounts. As far as I know, if nothing changed in the meantime.

Steemit, Inc. does provide the most used nodes for the ecosystem. When they were down, pretty much nothing moved back then, hopefully things improved a bit.

They also have the main team which works on the blockchain code. And other coding stuff. Human resources matter.
