I've been entertaining the notion of forking for some time but we would need to find people with the right talent and also hearts to make it happen.

You know we've been working to try to salvage this shipwreck but perhaps it's been akin to pissing in the wind. The cancer may be too deep.

Starting to get the impression that there are some really bad people in this space putting up a false veneer. They like to talk freedom and philosophy of crypto but think what they are really trying to "liberate" is our money into their wallets. I knew I was justified in being apprehensive about converting any more BTC to Steem.

I don't want people to accuse me of being negative or toxic. Rather, I think I am just being realistic because I know that people suck.

I'll still put in time to improving this place. Hell, I don't even plan to power down. If we really do fork or even create something better, we could always do some sort of airdrop for everybody else that ends up getting screwed.

You know how they say. Karma's a bitch. I believe it will come back to them if that was the intent.
