It really _is_ that simple...

Yep.  I mentioned that point earlier in the week.  They were first here, large players knew of their majority stake, and most were/are aware of how it was obtained.

My only concern is the SEC related point on thecryptodrive's post.  I don't fully understand the set-up there, but assume Steemit Inc have thought about this and have no intention of, in ausbitbank's words, fking things up.

Have a good weekend man, and Steem On.

This is exactly what I was thinking ! You can’t tell someone what to do with their stake ! It’s like saying no one should ever sell their steem !

My feelings exactly. It's crazy that this was something top witnesses were even discussing as if it were a reasonable option. Like, seriously WTF??? People seriously need to reshuffle those witness votes.

Right on @exlye 😊👍

I just Want to Be Able to Beat you Mark @exyle on The SteemMonsters Battlefield..............I don't Care what @ned does with the STINC Horde..............

Right on point Nicely described everything

I have never understood it when some people get so mad at other's here, you are completely right...it is theirs to do what they want with it, however I am not going anywhere, lmao!  See you on the Steem Monsters Battlefield! :-)

I have never seen your face get red in a video before :) 

I would be surprised if this does not blow over. It does however highlight Steemit Inc. could benefit from a Director of Business Relations.

The best thing of a blockchain is that it is immutable and permissionless, the real problem here is human nature itself, and with social media features on it, drama seems to become even exponentially bigger.
Even though in the end I think that Steemit will just secure that stake somehow and not sell it, the paradox is that people want better distribution while don't want big whales to sell, still better now than with Steem at 100$, that would really destroy credibility.

While I believe in further decentralization, I am with you that it should be done with Steemit as long as we the community can continue to have constructive insights as to the development moving forward for the sake of all of our stakes.  Thanks for sharing your passionate views as I hope they help the community relax.

Once again, you are the voice of reason. I saw that post, but I don't think that there are many important witnesses agreeing with it. I can understand the anger at the mistakes of Steemit.inc, and @ned and even blaming them for the price decrease. But now the price is rapidly increasing, because of what they have done, hopefully people will back off a bit.

My opinion about this is if any one is ever opted out of any blockchain it would be the same as your bank saying to you sorry we gonna close your account because we the bank aren't happy what you do with it. On the other hand if we don't agree with steemit inc we should just buy all those steem powered down by steemit inc.  If you're not happy with steem leave and build your own steem coin with everything around it.

Thank-you! For speaking my thoughts too. It really is crazy this notion is being considered by top witnesses. 🤷‍♀️ There's quite a lot to manage when it comes to individual and then mass psychology. I can only imagine how Ned and the team are keeping clear heads thorough this ruckus. As always, i appreciate your clear consice communication Mark and that you stick to a straight forward moral compass.  This blockchain is amazing! And, as a full time steemer on my phone the Steemit.com website is still the best method for accessing the blockchain at thus point. Though, @actifit is getting better and better. And, i don't play Steem monsters so i can't say how it works on a phone. I hope you feel some relief putting your thoughts on this topic out there.  Now, go forward have a great day. Maybe have an awesome workout 🎶 See you next time!!

Great video. Please let other witnesses understand this.

I do understand your "frustration", and I share some with you.

People only care about their own S, and this is a perfect example of it. They are concerned on how badly this moves can affect them, nothing else.

An interesting perspective but at the same time we have a duty to one another. This is our blockchain. Any action that would negatively affect it needs to be addressed. If steemit inc was using their stake to fund something nefarious, of course it would be our business. For me, what's important at this moment is dialogue. Those at the top should discuss and reach an agreement regarding the issues that have raised concerns over the weeks/months/year. I believe there is still more to this than we will ever know
