RE: Steemit.com Is Not The Decentralized Platform You Think It Is

in #steemit9 years ago

OK, let me ask you this; could another website say called Washit.com, come along, gain a community of thousands, and those thousands of people decide in whatever way they decide, to fork the Steam currency as it is now.

Is that possible? If not; why?

Thanks

Absolutely it is possible. Nobody owns the blockchain.

Not according to you on the conversation I took this screen shot from below..

So I guess you could stay in Beta forever and use the same excuse.

It seems @smooth both agrees and disagrees with me, as he has flagged this post.

@cryptogee

You are conflating the Steem Blockchain with the steemd implementation of that consensus protocol.

It's all very complicated; and therein lies the problem; mass adoption will never happen with such confusing matters surrounding Steem and Steemit.
