It adds more options out there, but the ninja mined stake of Steemit Inc. is definitely going to come into play here, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

The post/announcement clearly states who all is in cahoots on the deal and makes it very clear that it was all done behind closed doors.

Add to that the business practices that are allowed and accepted by some, there will be no room for any type of disruptive interference in the "transfer of everything".

Done deal.

SOLD!

Only thing possible by the looks of things is a fork, i.e. "Steem Classic" as was mentioned by @pharesim in his post, resteemed, ooops retronned onto my wall minutes ago.
