I'm sorry to hear you lost Steem. I can't help but wonder if that's what Sun felt like when he got soft forked out of his investment. It might be what caused him to go nuts and co-opt the exchanges just so that he could rescue the untold millions he invested. There was a triggering event that initiated this entire cascading event (or blockchain war). I know the witnesses had good intentions when they froze his assets. After all, he was telegraphing an uncertain future for the blockchain. The big question is, do good intentions justify the event that triggered the war? At some point, don't we need to hardcode property rights into the chain?

If both sides keep escalating, won't things just get worse? Sun has fuck-you-money, for a lifetime, and right now he's just mirroring every single thing that community witnesses have done to him and others. I don't see this ending until one side stops escalating it. He's doing the same thing that HIVE folk are doing. Both sides need to calm down, communicate, and deescalate, or even deescalate without communication. But if you want a black eye, black his eye, wanna get kicked in the junk, kick him in the junk. Wanna get sued, sue him.

This is so stupid, the reputation of both chains are getting destroyed in the media right now. On a technical level, HIVE is no different than Steem. They both have a dPoS decentralization problem that is seemingly unsolvable. Meanwhile, this poor guy, he's putting out real content on YouTube and linking the HIVE link in the section below. He seems like a creative dude to me, probably not interested in the politics. But yeah, lets just all be mean to each other until the word gets out that you'd have to be out of your mind to invest in either chain. Fuck it, burn it all down. I'll make smores over the charred rubble that was once Steem and HIVE.
