Ok, everyone. I’m just a mouth-piece with what I think are good intentions so take this with a grain of salt, but I don’t like the idea of forking if it means we aren’t STEEM anymore.
Someone on Twitter wrote “Justin messed with the wrong shitcoin!”, and that’s a powerful truth. STEEM is, and has been, a shitcoin from the very beginning. It slipped into the public sphere from the shadows and has had an ominous shade surrounding it ever since. That’s what makes it the people’s shitcoin! It’s already gotten dirty.
I’m about as likely to get a whole bitcoin now as I am likely to start collecting gold bricks, but I can glance in my STEEM wallet and feel like I’m ballin’ until I get to the bottom line... where it looks like my real wallet again halfway through payday... but I digress.
STEEM is SCRAPPY AF!!
STEEM is doing something unprecedented. It’s demonstrated blockchain tech has the ability to arm people to stand against giants. The people’s money!
STEEM’s branding already had character because it has survived so long and now it has class. Our witnesses have exemplified our community’s standards on the public stage and continue to do so. I haven’t heard a single negative thing about us in the press that wasn’t orchestrated by Justin Sun or Ned Scott (#fuckyouned).
STEEM is already integrated into the English dialog. When you get angry your steamed. When you relax you let off some steam. It has a built in synergy.
STEEM is everywhere right now. This is the most brand recognition I’ve seen it get and it promises to get much, much bigger. Every news source I’ve listened to for the past week has been one or two days behind the most current events, which are still unfolding at an incredible rate! It’s only going to be more talked about. Legal teams still haven’t even weighed in. I agree STEEM needs reinventing but I don’t think we should remove the heart. That’s what the people can best relate to.
If a fork is inevitable I’ll follow the community but STEEM has shown potential and I think it would be a waste to abandon it.
