Dear @blocktrades

At this point, it seems like most of the community is in agreement on one thing: they don’t want Justin Sun here.

I wouldn't be so sure about it. I've read hundreds of comments and posts written by small size users (like myself or even smaller) and majority seem to believe that conflict between witnesses and Justin is nothing more than fight for power.

At the same time those users seem to be afraid to speak out (myself included) in fear that we will become targetted and downvoted for expressing our thoughts. I really am afraid that this comment will put me again on the radar of some powerful stakeholders, who will threat me (just like I was threatened already in the past).

Majority of people out there seem to hope that our witnesses and Justin will find way of working together. That's reality.

Unfortunatelly narrative "us versus him" is so very strong already, that it's hard to still have any hope :(

Personally I can find it very difficult to imagine any product/project being succesful, knowing that major investor/stakeholder (marketing guru) and community build around project are in open and very public conflict. It's hard not to feel that we're in serious trouble.

Before long, we will launch a new coin that is essentially a re-branded hardfork of Steem, airdropped on all Steemians, without airdropping to the Steemit stake.
I believe all the economic value will move to this new chain and the chain with Justin's stake will ultimately just die

I'm failing to see how new chain could hold any value. And I'm really trying. Also what would make people keep their steem and sell all aidropped tokens, bringing price to it's knees with no time? Wealth cannot be just doubled like that.

Good luck with whatever you guys do. Obviously people like myself have no other choice but to watch how it's all unfolding.

We win by fighting, not by compromising

Sometimes conflicts cannot be won. Just like trade war between US and China. If compromise cannot be found - then there are only gonna be dead bodies and loses on both sides. Unfortunatelly.

I hope I will not regreat speaking my mind.
Yours, Piotr
