What a day.
I don't even know what to say, but I guess that this has been a very good lesson in "not your keys, not your Steem" and why keeping non-trading tokens on exchanges is a fucking shit idea. There was about 42 million Steem held between Huobi, Binance and the stolen Steem on Poloniex.
Well----
I think his intentions are clear now, and I am guessing the witnesses might be rethinking the idea of reducing witness votes to 7 that was floated some two years ago.... "That vector of attack will never happen...."
As said, I really don't have much to say and I am guessing that all of the autovoters are down so I don't have to worry about getting all that STEEM as rewards. Soon though, the witnesses will get more! Of course, those witnesses aren't going to be the ones that you might be familiar with, those who actually use the blockchain. Instead, they are going to be Tron block producers and the centralized exchanges.

For liquidity or payment? I'd say payment as they don't really give a shit about their user base as they staked the Steem they held there and voted with it, and definitely didn't vote the way the community would have. Well, perhaps they did - after all, most of the Steem on the exchanges is sourced from the original ninja mine anyway.
Well, I have to go and get a loan for a house that I will buy tomorrow and see how this storm is going to be weathered. While there are going to be a lot of strong emotions flying around, Steem is not dead yet, although I do think that it Steem as we have known it is dead. Things are going to be forever changed, and while some things might be for the better, a lot will not.
Innocence lost.
