He bought coins on the current blockchain, that doesn't mean he has rights over coins on a fork. Forks are entirely different blockchains and those forks have no obligation to keep all holders of the original

I agree, it must be a hostile takeover. If it was just a snapshot airdrop Justin could do that without the buy out. The HEX project just did that for Bitcoiners, allowing them to get free HEX if they wanted

100%!!!

Yep

"That's not their job" is something a person not understanding money would say. A person smart about money is happy to make anything their job if it helps their bottom line. The reason I said

I am not one that likes to be rude, but you wrote many words but those many words resulted in no value whatsoever. I'm sorry to be harsh, but that's the truth. You simply have no idea what you are talking

Only acceptable if reward from inflation was directly related to time-lock length. A 4 week powerdown is so short there is no justification in offering a reward pool at all. Now, if Steemit Inc. wanted

Here, let me show you where they suggested that Steem would try to move away from STEEM as the reward system: Community-Based Value Standards "The problem is that different communities have different

I know perfectly how Steem works. You really think its text storage is all that valuable? No one cares, for some, its an inconvenience. Its the PoB system that makes it interesting. Still, Steemit Inc.

As a individual on Steem with a personal account and personal stake, as long as ROI does not matter to you, you might feel free to downvote, but abstaining from downvotes is just something any business

I disagree, I believe Steem is very similar in its overall purpose to Patreon. I have always thought that a mature Steem would not be as much a replacement for Reddit as it would be a replacement of Patreon.

Does Patreon require the ability for users to remove someone's funding when you dislike them? No, you vote with your dollars by funding who you like and that is the extent to your power. Downvotes are

So, what I like the idea of is for your upvote/downvote power to be determined by both total steem staked and stake length. So if we made this change your Steem Power would no longer be 1:1 for STEEM powered

This is why the bloggers that seek to earn STEEM need to also demand that the places they need to buy stuff from start to accept STEEM. If bloggers didn't dump on the exchanges the STEEM would likely be

You don't understand the whole point to Steem, and apparently Steemit Inc. forgot as well... Steem is a time-lock reward system, and you're suggesting the craziest thing ever, which is removing the time-lock.

Terrible idea. One of the reasons we get to vote up/down and earn rewards is that it is essentially interest for staking. You're suggesting removing the time-locked requirement to obtain inflation, which

Perhaps another idea would be to adjust Steem Power potency all together to indicate your level of "loyalty" to the protocol. For example: 5000 STEEM powered up (staked) with a 4 week power down

A high quality product always is designed to be as idiot-proof as possible. So, you want Steem to be a high quality product, or a piece of shit? We should protect users from harm they don't even know can

Its a good thing when people have consented to it. Know anything about certificates of deposit? Locking your USD gets you more USD, because it is good for other people. In Steem you agree to lock up your

You're wrong here. People do dump during a bull market, smart whales do. Imagine who this benefits most. It helps whales dump on the market and get out as price rises. This is not good for the little people
