As much as the issue is related to the stake, it is also related to Justin Sun's reputation and judging by some conversations I've encountered, very racist. People throw "China" and "Communist nation", which are both true about Sun in terms of origin and nationality but very underhanded and irrelevant to the situation.
Sun bought Steemit fair and square, and can do whatever he wants with his stake. That's what decentralization preaches and what we all uphold. The use of steem from ploniex, binance and Houboi was also very underhanded and dirty. They should all power down and then restrategise.
I'm team Consensus witness though. 😁
