@moderndayhippie I'm 100% with you man. This is a message that I have been leaving for people.
@thecallmedan If you bought a Lambo and a crack baby was trying to steal it would you try to stop him?Can you really blame Justin for trying to actually have control over the account and funds that he just purchased?
What if the witnesses decided that they don't like what you have to say and locked your account and your funds?
Out of principle I'm just questioning what Justin did from the start besides try to bring Steemit.com back into the conversation? This place hasn't exactly been healthy and has been slipping down CoinMarketCap for a long time.
I can see both sides of the argument but the Witnesses really drew first blood by holding what Justin just bought hostage.
What if a bank held your funds hostage? How would you feel @theycallmedan
Helly yeah bro! I completely agree. Glad to know I'm not the only one out here saying the truth.. Let's hope for the best but prepare for the worst for now. Take care friend.
It will be interesting what happens over the next few weeks but I honestly think the best course of action would be for the witnesses to appologize to Justin and admit that it was the wrong course of action to cut him off from his funds before anything had been done to harm the community.
Anything that Justin was going to do would be to promote the platform and improve it. He wouldn't want his investment to go to zero or something.
We will see what happens. Thank you for not being afraid to express your feelings. It has been an unpopular stance to take and like you experienced I have had a lot of witnesses and other not even reply to me on my thoughts.
Yeah, friend, I agree. Unfortunately, I don't know how forgiving Sun would be at this point but I think apologizing is the next best action the witnesses could do to try to come to some sort of compromise and end this war. The problem is that the top witnesses still don't think they have done anything wrong. They are still trying to "win" the blockchain back by more witness votes, no one is interested in trying to work with one another. Until people are ready to compromise this will just be a civil war we are all caught up in. And nothing good ever comes from war, especially civil war because we are only hurting our own people and our own chain :/
It's been nice talkin with someone on the same page tho.. I guess we will just have to watch while this all unfolds and see what happens.. Until then enjoy this !BEER my friend :0)
I agree with everything you are saying. Justin was put in a tough place but in some ways I feel like the news articles have at least sort of shown a neutral side to what is happening but they need some quotes from guys like us.
