Dear @acidyo

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad to hear that you're see some positives. I remember in the past Instagram users were also worried once Facebook bought over. Similar story.

You've surely asked many valid questions. Thanks for that.

So Justin may be after the userbase alone and wants to kill the Steem chain off

Any idea how much did Justin pay for this transaction? Most likely he could spent less money on building similar userbase by hiring several professional marketing agencies across the globe. I may be wrong, but I like to believe that he wouldn't spent much just for that reason. Especially knowing how badly STEEM userbase shrinked after recent fork.

Im afraid that if we would need to do SWAP and exchange steem to TRX, then it means that everyone need to power down to receive liquid steem. And that would mean cancelling all delegations.

All curation trail and network of auto-upvotes would be distrubted. All of it would be gone. For many large projects out there (like curie, ocdb, tipu) it may be a very challenging time.

What a year so far. Iran , coronavirus, chinese economy and manufacturing in chaos, printing record high amount of money by central banks, upcoming recession and now this news about steem and tron.

Indeed ... interesting times ahead of us.
Yours, Piotr
