No, the blockchains are not compatible.. so that is a great question - if their goal was to make “sister chains”, develop the Steem chain or whatever else they are stating now.. why wouldn’t they speak to the devs who actually built it? Why wouldn’t they want to meet with them first.. figure out what could be done etc? Perhaps they never had any desire to do it in the slightest 🤷‍♀️ Who knows.
