Steem is open source software.
Ned doesnt control it.
If we had had some snappier witnesses we would have forked ned out and handed him his hat.
That will be harder now that he is on notice and locking in his influence with this steemalliance debacle.

If stinc ever makes that software run on commodity servers like they say, a fork will restore the balance to the math and then we can squabble over what to call the coin.
SteemCash?
SteemCoin?

Either way, the earliest adopters will come from this community.

Steemit is going down. Too many asshats. What part of how inactive people are now don't you understand? Asshole Bernie is even one of these asshole witnesses. He's the one that started these flagging wars. I bet more people have left Steemit just because of him. And there are tons of others like him.

Nah, that steem-engine is going to make us all rich.
Remember erc20 ico's last year?
SE's will be vetted by lawyers.

Hundreds of millions of dollars go through those things.
We've only got 300m steem total.
The price is going up, at some point.

Nobody gives a damn about bernie, he is just pushing out the weak hands.
