No hope at all.

I wonder how legally backed a verbal agreement is? I would wager not at all.

Yes, I don't think anyone is buying anything and won't until and if something positive comes out of the March 6th talks.

Well we shall see, but actually what I have read is that it is considered to be stolen.

The problem is that that is the excuse being put out that the ninja mined stake is stolen, that is what is used to get users behind this soft fork, but that means Justin bought stolen property, how can

The thing I see now is that they would be letting him use something that is illegal (the ninja mined stake) that would about kill the witnesses reputation. Apart from which I am pretty sure @freedom ninja

Yes a line was crossed, There is really no good way out of this. If you keep him from accessing his stake he will probably attack legally and he has enough funds to have the edge and anyway he at least

Ok, again let's wait until after the March meeting to see what happens. By the way don't think I hold anything against you, many times I have not agreed with your concepts and have told you so, other times

Ok, I just said what I think, I don't see you denying it, makes me think I am at least onto something.

You see @acidyo this has already gone from your hands, the thing is now that the stake that Justin Sun bought is ninja mined and according to all in favor of the soft fork this is really stolen property

Let's wait until March 7 to see what happens, then you can shout at me all you want before that, this is in the air.

And yet these big accounts and witnesses are all going to the meeting with Justin Sun get their cut and he will take over. Regardless of where his stake came from. I am willing to bet that on March 7 there

Does this mean that all the witnesses who have votes from @freedom or @pumpkin should renege on these votes and just rely on those of the community? Because those two are just as much part of the Ninja

I wrote this without even knowing that Justin Sun had already made a post about this, like @berniesanders says in a comment on Justin's post most of the people who agreed on the soft fork already rolled

What are you talking about? There will just be a meeting, the bigger accounts and witnesses will be satisfied they will get a good deal and Justin will then do whatever he wants. And fuck the rest of the

I haven't had time to try to think this through, I guess it will take me a few days to understand it.

Of course.

During the three years and a half I have been here, all the top 20 witnesses ultimately end up backing the decisions made by Steemit Inc. I don't see a single reason why this would change.

Didn't @pumpkin or @freedom always control who was a top 20 witness? Sun can just do the same thing if he wants to. You also have to take into account that you are not going to be able to convince everyone

"Something changed his mind". This one is really something to worry about, we are talking about a very shrewd businessman. He must obviously have had a plan before spending millions of dollars
