For the first time in a VERY long time, maybe since like day 2, I feel Steem and the community are heading in the right direction.
If you've followed me, you should understand the significance of that statement.
Do I think this update is going to solve all of the challenges brought to use by this ill-gained stake that @ned pillaged for years? No, I don't.
Is it a good start? Absolutely. It's time to hold the owner of the tokens in question accountable for how they're used (and it shouldn't be for personal enrichment) and the actions that were taken today are the first steps in that process.
So why the hell are you suddenly so positive? For the first time ever (and there was a good period of time where I was not included in witness chats), I saw a group come together, without the influence of Steemit, and put out a meaningful update to keep this blockchain secure and true to it's original intent. sAs far as I know, that's never been done prior to this release. That's huge. A real win. Something to actually celebrate.
But, won't this piss of @justinsuntron? Yea? Maybe? Who really cares? I don't.
Quite a few people have asked what I think about the sale from @ned to
@justinsunsteemit...
I have more to say, but, I've got to run for now. Check back later and I'll have a few more thoughts added.
Feel free to vote for my witness, @nextgencrypto.
