Everything STEEM does has controversy, most recently before the SF being the EIP, a lot of people raged quit from that but a lot of new people also joined since.

I think some people tend to try and focus on too much at once. I am a buidler, an investor and several other things, if I have to obsess over chain security, I lose an edge in everything else. Of course, I talk to witnesses, ask questions/give advice and do everything I can to help. But at the end of the day, you have to trust they are going to do their jobs the best of their ability.

If they failed to react and let's say Tron did pull a hostile takeover, everyone will be blaming the witnesses for not securing the chain. It really can be a tough, thankless job at times, does not make it any less important.

I invite controversy, different opinions and people that see things differently. Strength is in disagreement yet finding a common path forward. Weakness is fracturing and giving up when you don't get your way. It's easy to stay the course when one agrees with everything and there's sunshine and rainbows, but moments like we just had really shine people's true colors.
