It's day Day 13 of the occupation. 'Lucky' number 13 on the Ides of March in a month containing Friday the 13th. Good thing I'm not too superstitious. Yet their is plenty of bad news today to go around.
First off, Jsun seems to have figured out that he was delegating millions of coins to accounts that didn't support the #steemhostiletakeover.

Even worse, Jsun is in the process of replacing his sockpuppets with real puppets. The #kr community now has representation in the top 20 with the same 50 votes as all the other sockpuppets.
@triple.aaaThe team behind TripleA and the witness server will NEVER involve nor confirm any action or code that could freeze or limit the stake of anybody on the Steem blockchain.
Apparently, this is the only value one needs to bring to the blockchain these days to get into the top 20.
Viruses are an absolute necessity in both the biological and digital realm. Viruses find a weak attack vector and exploit it. The host will either defeat the virus and become stronger, or die. Such is life.
I still find it absolutely incredible that COVID-19 is not a threat to children as every other flu before it has been. Is Mother Earth trying to tell us something? Does she know that humanity is entering a rapid age of evolution in response to drastic environmental change? Are children the future and the elderly obsolete?
@justinsunsteemit is a virus.And he must be neutralized for the good of this network. Of course, there are billions of symbiotic bacterium/viruses inside the human body. Without these little buggers in our system, we would not survive.
Many users on the Steem network believe that Jsun wants to help us, and only became threatened in response to our actions against him. I believe otherwise. He is a parasite and must be eradicated. Perhaps a sister fork would prove this theory one way or the other.
The only reason why we haven't done it, other than our extreme lack of developers, is that the story of winning back our own blockchain is just too good to pass up. A sister fork splits the community, while a single consensus chain is arguably stronger than a split. However, you can turn this logic on it's ear over the long run. After all, every living thing replicates itself, even blockchains.
As I have stated over two years ago, I believe blockchain is a living thing that is meant to live its life over time and die; replicating in the process. Corporations, Governments, and Central-Banks on the other hand represent undead entities that will never die unless destroyed forcefully.
Will the Steem blockchain have to replicate in order to survive the threat from Jsun's army of the undead? Will we retake the main chain and destroy him outright? Will we tame the beast and engage in a symbiotic relationship? Will we lose the battle and be enslaved by a parasite? Who knows. There are a lot of ways this could go down. It is interesting to watch, to say the least.
