Hello friend @creativetruth, thanks for expressing your opinion.

Justin Sun could have allowed the soft fork to remain, and opened up communication with the community like he promised.

Yes, it is possible that this happened, but when there is a power struggle each party involved wants to make itself felt and in this case, Justin made himself felt.

This will ruin the price of steem forever, and possibly destroy its reputation as a currency that can be trusted.

We do not know friend, I am sure that other actions are coming, I still do not believe that this guy has bought steemit.inc to destroy it.
