Thanks @jayplayco, a great analysis and prediction for the FORK.
Although I predicted that a FORK is NOT avoidable upon Steemit Inc's acquisition around one month ago, and the competition in the future will happens among Tron-Steem, Steem Classic and EOS Voice, in my post 失名器天下三分，拾真魂同结一心 | 在Tron收购Steemit之后, in the reality, I would like to try the best to let us go against that ending.
In another word, we need to re-unite the community and stakeholders. We all know this has been very challenging, but we still need to take actions. Korean community have done a very great job for that already. Instead of focusing on the different opinions, we may focus more on the common ground:
- Vision: It's actually a great time to retrospect what's the true vision and value of Steem itself. If SMT is the thing everybody wants, then make it. If we want to
Tokenizing the Web, then remove the road blocks such as poor signup experience. - Threats: We should not ignore the outer threats including Voice, though in its baby time. When Steem communities are fighting here, other forces are growing. Have we heard about how the Voice (beta) community react to these dramas?
- Money: The community have shared investment benefits (the STEEM price at least), and everybody wants to gain more. A fork is really hard to be economically beneficial for its followers (maybe good for seldom in the forked chain, but not for the majority).
I don't have concrete plan about how to move on yet. At least one thing I'll work on is to call for the community forces to help with the SMT build, testing and release.
Finally I believe we need wisdom to go through the hard time, and a new era will arrive anyway.
It is indeed a hard time for the community and I also do think that we are in moving to another era. Thanks a lot for your in-depth insight.
