RE: Witnesses meeting with Tron Representative Roy Liu (Full Recording + Context) by nonameslefttouse

Viewing a response to: @andrewmarkmusic/q6ra5b

There's no such thing as a 'Tron witness' on the STEEM blockchain.  Sure, someone representing Tron can become a witness here, but that makes them a STEEM witness.  Someone representing Steemit Inc can become a witness, but that does not make them a 'Steemit witness.'  Yabapmatt is not a 'Splinterlands witness'.  Dan Larimer could pop back in and fire up a witness, but that would not make him an 'EOS witness'.  *Catch my drift?*

Technically, yes...but did you understand what I meant? Can Tron folks be witnesses side by side with the Steemit folk? 
And if the answer to that is NO then Ned surely could have predicted that this sale would be a failure.
At any rate, Sun's shenanigans with the exchanges probably make any union impossible now.

> Can Tron folks be witnesses side by side with the Steemit folk?

Anyone can come here and be a witness.  And if the community votes them into the top 20 LEGITIMATELY, then **anyone** can be a top twenty witness.

Those sock puppet witnesses currently attempting to take over the top twenty are not PEOPLE.  The community would not vote in 20 bots to run the show here.  How would you even hold a meeting like what we're listening to here with what some are calling 'Tron witnesses'?  You can't.  You'd have an easier time convincing a dog to sit than getting any grievances resolved by fake witnesses.

All walks of life, no matter what they believe in, can be a witness here.  Then it's up to the community to decide where they stand.  Those fake account witnesses can't even tell you what they believe in, because they are not people.

Okay, but to my thinking, this brings up another issue...Why do you think Ned sold to someone/s who don't value the concept of decentralization and apparently; in fact, seem to have the exact opposite stance on governance?
If I owned a blockchain and set it up in a decentralized manner what would compel me to sell it to a centralized authoritarian actor?

I understand your sentiment, but

> LEGITIMATELY

means majority vote in DPoS. Whatever or whoever that may be at the time
