He is a businessman, so it's possible that he's misleading a bit.
I also wonder if he's not crashing Steem to pick up more stake.
It would be really stupid to just swap out Steem when we know it's doing all the heavy lifting. I don't know if that's even possible really, unless he incorporated some of the Steem code into TRON in some massive fork coming up.
This is exactly like with Ned so far. I have no fucking clue what's going on and I can't help but assume the worst.
