Great, motivating post!
As you may know, for several reasons I am (was?!) in favour of seeking compromises, because ...
- I saw the benefits of the financial resources to support STEEM development and the promotional skills of Justin Sun.
- I fear(ed) that with no exchange listings of the 'new STEEM' its value in USD may approach zero; good to know that you have some ideas/plans for bringing it to the exchanges.
- I fear part of the community might get lost after a separation (for example I really would miss the Korean community).
- As the STEEM blockchain is kind of a long term storage of my ideas and thoughts I wondered what happened to all my articles (this fear seems not to be justified according to your post).
However, your post made me somewhat more optimistic and calm, even if I still wonder about which exact consequences such a fork would have.
<em>If</em> the fork will happen I really suggest to limit the witness votes per account to prevent that <em>single individuals</em> are able to appoint the majority of the top witnesses (again) and thus control the whole blockchain.
