I don't think so. We remain the source of value of Steem tokens, and we will remain the source of that value, whether it applies to Steem tokens, or a new token after Sun forks the crap outta Steem.

When Sun forks, he'll lose the community, and that source of his stake's value. We'll still have value, and he won't.

Hopefully we'll end up on a chain that is actually decentralized, instead of the pretense of it Steem always has been. That will increase our value as well. The tokens don't give us value. We are the value, and where we go, so goes the wealth.

Sort:  

You're under the impression that everyone will go with the community but that's not the case. We will experience losses and will have to rebuild again.

I'm confident the majority of the community will prefer a fork on which they're not Sun's private property. I don't think Sun will have enough pandering toadies to make his fork useful.

I've been wrong before, and could be wrong now. That's ok. Right or wrong, I'll not remain on a fork subject to a unitary executive. A lot of folks will feel the same. More than that I cannot predict.

Are you talking about the crypto that you 'own'? It may be worth noting that the 'steem' crypto has more in common with Canadian tire money than it does with the type of pull you seem to believe the users actually have. It has value more because it is treated as though it has value than any inherent value.

I'm talking about Steem having value because it has a use case, and that use case is proved out by thousands of users that are passionate about it.

The tokens are just representations of that passion.

The passion is where the value is.
