Are you happy with stinc's leadership up to this point?

Ok, dear reader, we are at a cross roads on steem.
The original design has been hijacked.
To deflect from that the ceo pointed out that rewards for blogging were not the first idea.
Distribution of the coin was the first idea.
Therefore, the original idea has been hijacked by dan creating a paid blogging site.

If we take ned at his word, that silly stuff is going away because we dont need rewards when we can just give steem to our friends and sycophants and be over run with salivating investors wanting more.

In this instance i think its time for the community to look at protecting itself from those that would destroy the potential of what we have here.
We can let ned go his own way, build his utopia, while not allowing him to wreck steem further.

We only need 21 witnesses and one dev to fork us into community control rather than stinc control.

Why do you figure stinc has demolished steem's success?
I dont know, but there is this:

Were the ned delegations taken out of the math your vote would have more value.
Was the ninja mine to be eliminated from the math steem works as designed.

The n2 encourages keeping stake in one account, discourages selfvoting, gives more value to each subsequent vote rewarding popularity, and works for everybody, not just the wealthy few.

It looks like the only way to get stinc et al's influence off our good thing is to fork.

When we do that they can continue driving their steem off a cliff and we can fix the rewards scheme in ours back into one that drives adoption.

There are many things that need to be thought about.
We need to keep one account to rule them all so that collusive scammers can be downvoted before they vote themselves to the top.
We know the accounts im talking about, they have the highest reputations in steem.

Once we set our fork in motion we want to keep changes to a minimum.
Let the design work to change us rather than the other way around.

We should strive to repel the greedy f**ks that only worry about taking that next dime from the schmucks.
We know who they are, they made steem the shiny success it is today.

The ceo has spoken.
Rewards and blogging are going away.
I wonder how much of the original code is even still available on github.
We know bad actors are not above memory holing things to win.

Sadly, their zealous need to dominate others has led us here.
What will we do?
