At this point it appears STEEM is dead! If you are not on board with my team to FORK steem altogether and roll back this BULLSHIT Resource Credit (RC) update you are dead! Have fun with @ned and begin to realize why @dan left like I am now! THIS IS HORSE SHIT! Here is a little bit for you to think about:

Think for a minute... RC = your life blood here.... Now following someone, commenting, updating your profile, just simple things that cost us Bandwidth before and not our VP cost us effectively our VP through RC...

So you think that I as a steemian want to waste my precious RC following you instead of just making posts, commenting (which costs RC) and then self upvoting??? The old system let me post for FREE and there was no reason to hoard RC.. NOW it is just a focus on how much can i keep my RC for myself! So basically if you want to exist here now you choose between following me back and another vote?!!! HOW does that make sense to anyone??? This new system is insane and only favors those who WANT to abuse the platform either as a whale by only upvoting and supporting their small group and/or for the rest of us by realizing we shouldn't bother following you but rather using that RC to upvote OURSELVES! This update only makes MORE reason to centralize the vote! FUCK @ned!

Follow me and get ready for a hard fork of STEEM to a NEW COIN and the OLD rules that we all agreed to.. We also are going to scale Witnesses from 20 so the platform is more decentralized! FUCK @ned and the few 17 people in the world who OWN this network! We have the code and my team is working hard to get it ready for a REAL fork that will restore FAIRNESS and ORDER to the blockchain! We will announce an official launch next week unless by some MIRACLE steem fixes itself this weekend! If you want to be included please get in contact with me directly! We would be glad to have all the support we can get! If you run a witness and agree with our path forward PLEASE get in touch and pledge support. The key to forking is witnesses supporting a new chain!

Thank you to all who follow me and see the fairness being removed! This is proving to be why @dan left and we can not allow them to STEAL our wealth like this! A new coin, a new chain is required in order for us to survive and thrive again! They took what was a great platform and changed it on us overnight 5 times in 8 days! That is not development, that is amateur hour at its worst! They couldn't even get it right after 4 tries and just told us "Wait 6 days it *should* work itself out"! WTF kind of answer is that from a LEGIT development team??!!! Imagine if ethereum, EOS, or bitcoin or any other project you follow said "Well just wait 6 days and it might fix itself"... You would accept that??? We lost MILLIONS of dollars due to this down time collectively! HOW IS THAT OKAY??

The worst is those who are @ned fanboys and defend this path! HOW can you think this is okay? I notice they talk big on facebook but aren't actually on here saying how great this update was... FUNNY you know why? They can only make 5 comments a day! So they post on twitter and facebook how great it is with ZERO understanding and NO engagement here... They just ignore the platform all together while preaching how great it is! #Shills?

FUCK YOU @steem and @ned we hate your #hf20 upgrade and this new #ResourceCredit scam! You should have tested this in testnet far more and asked for more input.. We also should have more than the top 17 witnesses (almost all are part of the core steem/@ned team) allowed to be a witness... You focused on the WRONG things for this upgrade.. What we needed was more decentralization, NOT a change to the resource allocation! Everything was fine until this upgrade... AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.. I had 100% VP and you dropped us all to negative then put us at 20%!!!!!! WTF??? Why didn't we all get grandfathered into 100%??? Want to prevent abuse? If you system works so fucking well you could have set us ALL at 100% and let it play out! NO you punished us instead! THE CORE! THE STEEMIANS that build this platform! YOU made US the bad guys and cost us all INSANE amounts of money... What about those who last week PAID to power up or WORSE leased SP... They paid for 11 days of delegation and got NOTHING for it! You fucked them! You stole from them! I don't see anything you are doing to fix that... No you just cared about abusers who weren't even that big of a deal... You use "abuse" as an excuse to just centralize the technology and fuck us over more! Funny @ned could post shit he said literally 4 minutes after the release it was a success and since updated/edited his post lol: https://steemit.com/steem/@ned/on-the-bridge-hardfork20

FUCK YOU @ned you are a fraud and I get now why @dan left! End of story you fucking suck!
