Not that many people would read this and change their mind, but I'm not sure the soft fork being deployed on the STEEM blockchain is the right thing to do. I mean, I get the motivation behind it, I totally understand the fear, but
something feels off to me.

Unconfiscatable?

I realize the goal here is to protect STEEM, and at no point in time will I attack anyone who's decided to go ahead and run this, but there's a core concept of crypto being trampled on right now. I mean, let's not forget the whole point is that it's your money, you do what you want with it. The point was and still is to tell the traditional financial institutions to go fork themselves.

My tokens, my vote, my say, right? Well I think today this core idea just got put on pause. Again, I understand it, I could even see myself wrestling with the decision if I was witnessing myself, but as someone with skin in the game, someone who's been here for some years now, I do believe we might be shooting ourselves in the foot. Key word: might!

It's reversible

I get it, but it's almost like holding Justin Sun hostage until he does what we all want. He did buy the tokens, they are his, this is supposed to be capitalism, free markets. I don't know, maybe I'm the idiot here, but it seems we took a turn left out of fear.

I'm not leaving by all means, but I do have to say, this is going to be a wild ride, and I for one expect it to be bloody.
