RE: HF20 Update: Operations Stable

yes, i'm concerned, even tho i still have faith in the steem blockchain..

when a platform is truly censorship resistant, ideas are fought with other free ideas, not by someone with a big stake dropping the hammer. the moment you start having a single entity create a bunch of behavioral restrictions, the only endgame is dprk.

i can understand it's always difficult for any leader to step back and be a facilitator because people naturally want control. when you create an organization, let alone a platform, it's obviously difficult (near impossible) for you to let go and have the community figure shit out (whether you like the results or not).

i got interested in steem at first because no single company is meant to control the entire blockchain. in the beginning we might even need control for a bit of structure. but if steemit inc continues to hang on to control even after SMTs then i really dunno where to go from there.

is there enough humility in that organization? :)
