i kinda doubt that 17 people will come to agreement to just transfer your coins with no repercussion.
It' already been done.(steem/hive)
I'm not saying that it will happen, I'm saying it can happen.
The fact that it can happen proves my point.
Everyone is still, fundamentally, at the whims of 17 anonymous people.
How many are 'incorruptible'?
No one knows.
But you do know that corruption - and therefor the possibility- exists.
