Did you watch Ned's Live Stream?
He was real clear to me that he doesn't want to fix what he has messed up, he just wants to abandon steem as a working social media platform that pays it's users.
He keeps repeating proof of brain when it was his very actions that changed steem from proof of brain to proof of wallet.
Nice deflections, Einstein.
Is it to be believed that steem's days are numbered as a social media platform?
Is the ego of the ceo sooo big that admitting a mistake and reverting to the math that was drawing in users impossible, or will he just string us along only to slink away a scoundrel?
If we take him at his word, we can kiss rewards good bye.
If we take him from his actions we can know that he is still creating bag holders.
I can't wait for his toxic attitude to go play with other toys.
Well, it's his to do with what he pleases.
Put me down for jumping to which ever developer gets a working social media model going based on steem's early design, because that is where my time and money is going.
Too bad that won't be stinc's version of steem.
Not without some serious revision in the leadership of it.
I didn't care for the vibes of either speaker, so this is going downhill fast.
What will we do, dear reader?
Highly rEsteemed!
COUP!

I took pretty much the same things from this as you did , matey...
whaleshares?
Coup.
Whaleshares is unlikely.
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.
Note: I don't believe in karma but just for the sake of expression. Same result delivered via a different agent.
Its just a matter of time for them.
The world is majority good.
If we assume that only evil people have spare cash laying around to fund this scam then we can also assume that their vibe only allows like minded folks to persist in their presence.
If you've seen who is running this scene the conclusion is likely that white hats were not the prime mover behind steem.
That doesnt stop steem living up to its potential, just handicaps its ultimate arrival.
Until we have enough coders, witnesses, and mass to make our own fork viable there isnt much we can do but blog about it.
Get your pull requests ready and when the time is right we can let a coup go down.
That way we all learn who our friends are?
speak to ura-soul, I think you will find a ally there.
He answered 3 questions yes? 1 was smooth, smooth was a pre boarder before alpha, he joined 25th March 2016, the second question he answered was noisy yes? he was a alpha tester and joined March 2016, the third question was tim yes? he is a witness in second place on the list. To call that elitist is beyond a joke. He chose 3 people he has known since the start except for Tim (July) 2016 I think without looking if memory serves me correct.
Did you think he was going to call on the voices in the crowd that rightly label him as a wet behind the ears momma's boy pansy ass?
C'mon, thats not what pansy asses do,...
Its clear he would rule by decree from on high, its just that he doesnt know that 99% of adults on the planet reject that attitude out of hand, he's still protected by his mommy bubble.
Is he still singing kumbaya on that bloody guitar? He should be a politician, that is for sure.
