The Problem With Ego, Pride & Social Media
<center>https://plus1daily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-Problem-With-Ego-Pride-Social-Media.png</center> <br/>This has gone from bad to worse...

Imagine the excitement a lot of us in the 'marketing world' had when we heard the news....Justin Sun had purchased Steemit Inc. 

The hope and belief that the world would soon come to learn and understand how powerful our little blockchain is.  Justin was the creator of Tron and had what seemed like unlimited funds that would help build Steem up and get more people to our home on the web!

And then....<strong>Ego happened.</strong>

Whoever was right or wrong is up for debate...I personally think Steem was protecting itself from silence and mixed messages...But this post isn't about that. There is plenty you can read about that here and on traditional social media...

Speaking of which...Here is something that is of deep concern...

Earlier today, Justin Sun started to block Steemians that have been fighting for our blockchain on Twitter.

Hey, I get it...He feels like he is being attacked but what I do think is much more of a concern is how this looks like his attempt to silence the voice of blockchain.

So now we have one of the biggest holders of Steem power, not even attempting it seems, to dialogue with Steem...

The claims of him wanting to work with this community, it's obvious now this is not the case but here's the kicker...

You may be able to silence people and block them on traditional social media...But this is Steem! It cannot be 'muted' and right now, I'm pretty bummed out....Because it looks like it's not getting resolved anytime soon.

Steem seems to be fighting for it's life while he's fighting to save his image....No one is going to win this game.

I would say, let's get back to the table and work it out but this looks like a control issue for me....The Tron Foundation seems to want to control Steem...And in a decentralized blockchain, that just cannot happen. It shouldn't happen. 

So where do we go from here?

To be honest, I have no idea...My little 30,000k Steem Power isn't going to save the world but what I'm doing is continuing to create! Continuing to engage! And helping people learn about important Steem is. 

We just want our home back, because it's an awesome place. And I am not sure what the future will hold but right now....I say we embrace the motto of being the 'Honey Badger' of blockchains! 

Keep scraping and keep using Steem each and everyday.

We have the best community online and each and every day, I'm more and more honored to be a part of it!

Thoughts on a Saturday night at 11pm...

Good rave :) 
No matter what happens, those that engage and continue to do so will be benefiting their ability to continue to do so, no matter what platform it may be on.
I believe that communities can be very strong and if knocked down in one place will always rise again not too far away. A voice on a matter will always stay a voice on the matter.
I am a unionist at heart and when enough voices make a noise it is the catalyst to change

Very well said.  I think our position is pretty good, and it shows our strength of community.  Every day we hold our ground is a win.  Every day we win, we advance.

Yeah I'm just getting tired of it....This guy should either step up huge and be a champion for this blockchain or leave us alone and let us continue to build it...The stalemate does nothing but annoy lol

Don't want to be too negative... but, if we win, I think that the win will come because of some "external factor"... JS goes to jail because of something totally different than he has done... As, if he doing these kinds of stuff with STEEM and community, I doubt that it's his "first" time... 

Will see what happens...

It's amazing how it's all transpired. But the community is doing great by staying the course. I just want it to be over, even if someone else comes in and supports Steem lol

Well written article... I say, keep up the good spirit and fight to kill Ego out of our comfort zone...as it has no place in interfering with humble net residents aiming to spread enlightening channels  on the net.
