"The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses."

I see that as a good thing! It's long past time for Steemit Witnesses to be removed because they have turned Steemit into nothing more than a cesspool of fraud and corruption, stealing money from the vast majority of Steemit members while at the same time filling their own greedy pockets. The day that the last Steemit Witness is removed will be the first day of Steemit's rebirth...and a new beginning. The only problem I see is that Steemit Witnesses have not had their Steem Accounts forfeited, and the money they stole returned to its rightful owners...the Steemit community.
