Help our Steem blockchain: We need YOUR Vote!

**As most of us already know: The Tron foundation has bought Steemit, Inc.**

**What happened then?**
Our elected witnesses have been concerned that Tron will power up the STEEM they have got with Steemit and take over the Steem blockchain. A SoftFork of our witnesses happened in order to prevent the use of Trons new SP for that goal.
Tron then was in fear to loose their STEEM and influence and has done a coalition with some exchanges. Big exchanges (some with close relations to Tron) powered up the STEEM their customers hold and voted with their customers SP for witnesses working for Tron.
All top 20 witnesses have been installed by Tron that way. The current state you can see here: https://steemian.info/witnesses

#### What are the consequences?
Now Tron *rules* the Steem blockchain and our blockchain is not distributed any more. Tron can do with the blockchain whatever Tron want's to do.


#### Good news
In the meantime Binance, one of the exchanges, has pulled their votes back. And du to our votes for OUR witnesses some of them could get beck under the top 20 witnesses.

### **You see how important it is to vote. Please do it... now!**

### How to vote?
One convenient way is the following:
1. Go to [steemworld.org/@yourUsername](https://steemworld.org/@yourUsername) and replace *yourUsername* with your Steem username/account.
2. Go to the Section *Tools* and look for the Button *Witness Overview*
3. You can checkmark the witnesses you prefer but(!) watch out for the *Version* field! We need OUR witnesses. OUR witnesses are the ones who do **NOT** use Version 0.22.5.
4. Your vote you have to confirm with your **Active Key**. You can choose more several witnesses but maybe right now it's better to focus your SP.

If you have no idea what witness you should vote for in this special situation then do the following:
Vote for the *first* witness whos rank (#) is greater than 20 (that means #21, #22, #23, ...) AND who is **NOT** running Version 0.22.5.

### What else to do?

Everybody who has STEEM on an exchange pull it back on the steem blockchain into YOUR account were you control the secret keys. I'm curious to see what will happen if everybody tries to transfer his/her STEEM.
Spoiler: The exchanges have powered them all up. So they can't give them back to you! They make their business with your SP.

**Please take control again about your STEEM, login to your exchange and transfer your STEEM to your steem account.**
Power your STEEM up if you don't need them unstaked and use your power to vote for OUR witnesses (the ones who do **NOT** run Version 0.22.5)

Thank you
@retinox

The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses.  If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking [here](https://beta.steemconnect.com/sign/account-witness-proxy?proxy=berniesanders&approve=1) to help restore the decentralization of Steem.
