RE: Why I won’t be compromising with Justin Sun by blocktrades

I'm a different Dan, Dan Notestein, no relation except that we worked together on cryptocurrency projects for a few years. I stopped mostly because of that damaged trust you talked about. I consider people's trust one of the most valuable things a person can have, and I try my best to act in a honorable way that will not lose it. Indeed, one of my own ideas for future technology is to build a system that lets people trust each other more, and punishes deception. Too often I see people abuse the trust of others, but trust is also essential in many cases to effective cooperation.

*Excellent news*!  Very glad to receive this word of encouragement @blocktrades / Dan.  And thank you for the clarification of who you are.

You have a ***lot*** of influence on ensuring we get Hive off to a much, much better start than Steem had (from all I have read about it).  As you work through the coming days and weeks, you may wish to consider the "silent majority" of your fellow Steemians who will be ***rooting for you*** to "exceed expectations" in your efforts to bring your vision to life and rekindle some hope again about what is possible, as you take concrete steps to restore trust.

---

P.S.  Not to be presumptuous, but given what you have said here, perhaps we are like-minded more than I might have had reason to hope.  One of my first [posts](https://steempeak.com/business/@roleerob/essential-foundation-for-good-business) was on *"The Essential Foundation for Good Business"* in which trust and good communication feature prominently.
