"What happens next on Steem is up to Justin."
No, it isn't. Like me, most reasonable folks have realized that even paying attention to the rhetoric of liars is a waste of time.
This community will determine it's own fate, regardless of what oligarchs intend.
Sun is no longer relevant, and since he will not relinquish his governance efforts, he is taking Steem down the drain with him. I'm not circling that drain.
I'm moving on. Hive is coming, and you may react, or act proactively, as you prefer. The issues that have not been resolved by prior governance of Steem, some of which you pointed out, and others you have not, will either be resolved on Hive, or Hive will fail too.
We'll see.
Either way, Sun capturing Stinc's stake was only the revelation of the issue that has always doomed Steem, and that issue is the weighting of massive stakes on governance, which I have noted previously is not just the size of mined stake, but the weight it's accorded influencing governance. You don't even mention that issue here, and, sadly, it's probably too late to deal with that issue now that Steem has reached this pass.
Thanks for your service.
I think you missed my point. "What happens next on Steem."
Justin, by his actions, may well destroy Steem. Hive (or something like it) may rise from the ashes like a phoenix. The community is where the value is and that doesn't have to be Steem.
It's both. @blocktrades and others who are smart like him are still not convinced a 1t1v approach solves these problems. Some argue it makes them worse. I've seen arguments on both sides, and I haven't yet made up my mind. The percentage of total active voting tokens matters either way.
I didn't miss your point. Sun is immaterial. He's there, and we're leaving because of it, and that is what matters.
