Great post, thanks!
We've had a good deal of discussion in private chats and I strongly agree with you on many of the excellent points you lay out in this post.
This is much more than about Sun's stake and the ninja mined stake, this is Centralization vs Decentralization. This battle is for the heart of the blockchain.
We're here, building and participating in decentralization - outside the boundaries of legacy finance and their control and subjugation of the masses.
Like you said:
The world has been breeding slaves and masters since before we were born. Don't be a slave; Don't be a master. Crypto allows us to break free. Stop negotiating with terrorists.
We really need to stop and ask ourselves - WHY AM I HERE?
If you don't like the way our decentralized system is evolving, then help us build a better way. Otherwise, you're free to leave, maybe it's not for you. You can go back the warm embrace of the centralized, corrupted and decaying system of the masters we left behind.
