I'm very excited to see what comes of these discussions. Steem could definitely benefit from a more significant support network like TRON.
Ethereum is finally overcoming siloes and in-fighting - working toward a more collaborative ecosystem. I'm glad to see that Steem is looking to further external collaboration and partnerships - it's really a missed opportunity.
Yea, I mean it seems like there is something going on here. Perhaps not an outright acquisition, but something seems to be going on.
Which brings up the question, what does a crypto acquisition look like in Steem's case? To what extent does @ned have ownership of the Steem IP? Is it just a sale of brand assets?
In most cases the articles have talked about steemit.com which is owned by steemit,inc. So, perhaps that could be sold, though perhaps some for of integration is more likely. IE some other tokens being earn-able on steemit. Sort of like what SMTs will bring.
