Steem probably amazes me more than ever. The concept behind it and how it functions and now things like steemit adding communities. I think it’s great, always things can be improved but such is life.
My observation in crypto is that many of the companies are a clown show. There are lots of talented and smart people involved in crypto so not trying to paint all those involved as such but as for many of the companies involved - Ha.
When I first came to steemit I did a quick google search after a solid 5 mins of research I realized this place was started in a shady haphazard way by people who often looked to be in it for an easy buck. I quickly joined! It had all the ingredients for a great time on the internet.
Fast forward Tron buys this place (steemit stake) my first thought is “why” which will prolly never be answered, not sure how steemit is supposed to benefit them but whatever, writing was sorta on wall. Tron had to realize it was going to be a freak out fest controlling the ninja mined stake. Day 1, instant it was announced they should have had a plan in place with a nice written intent about stake etc, they didn’t. To me that’s amateur hour.
Now if this was some normally mined share that didn’t have a well known history my instinct would be, no don’t fork, they bought it, but since it’s shady mine I don’t have a problem running a soft fork on this. It should have been handled long ago because I don’t see any serious investors investing in some place started and “controlled” in a shady way. High minded ideals often meet the hard clenched fist of reality.....all that can be abused, will be.
I don’t know this company at all and first impression is....Tron was caught off guard by an obvious situation that would arise, which pretty much assures me more clown show coming!
I look forward to the bloviating of plans and marketing and great new things but what I’m really excited about is deep under all these issues is a great concept with some amazing people involved and a heartbeat of active community members.
Love you all and let’s have some fun out there!
