Disclosure I'm not fully aware of all the powers @justinsun has or doesn't have but I know this people are scared and that it's a giant mess. I'm also not really certain what side I'm on as everything is such a disaster. I'm also scared
I normally just post my art and stay pretty quiet for the most part but today I want to address something @justinsun I need you to at the very least read this or at the very least if you stop reading after this please don't shut down the chain or take it over please listen to the community.
I understand your probably way richer than I am and probably don't care as that's how I've been treated before. Look I am deeply concerned if I don't have a place to come back too or can't afford to come back too I'm going to be so lost again and uncertain of what to do in my life.
This website and blockchain has become a part of me. This community helped raise money to fix my teeth, made me friends, and helped me share my arts when normally I can't as I can't afford a gallery spot and I'm not talented enough to earn a spot. My life goal is too share my arts with the world I can no longer do that if I lose this chain. This is my home.
I also want to tell you how I got here a friend of me suggest I join steemit so I tried but I needed a cellphone something I still don't own to this day. They decided to buy me an account through another community member who had this thing set up so other community members could get started. I apologize for details being fuzzy but memory isn't exactly the best. Another community moment I seen was when @Zaxan was struggling to get food to his family because he lives in a a country that doesn't support the people properly and we banded together to ensure he can afford food for his family. I am sure there is many more stories I currently am not remembering but I know we have tons of discords and chats dedicated around being a community @minnowsuport is a big part of this. My point is in telling you these things is that Steemit was meant to be a community driven blockchain not led by a singular entity as we survive better as a community we need you to bring this back. A lot of us need this community to continue living and surviving.
I'm ending this post with the hope you bring unification to this block chain and keep it a community based entity not run by a single person. I also hope you don't change anything either.
Thank you for reading this votes are appreciated,
