RE: Thoughts on recent witnesses discussion with Tron's representative, Roy

in #steem • 5 years ago

Hi @culgin

I was wondering if it's worth listening to entire 3h and I kind of gaved up. Wish there would be some 'highlight' from this meeting which I could view :P

I've already heard that Tron representative cared mostly about issue with exchanges and those from opposite team were focusing on putting blame and pointing a finger at Justin. Was it true?

In addition, Roy implied that the exchanges are not powering down as we speak because they fear that the witnesses can do a hardfork to freeze the exchanges' funds.

That would be extreme hostile behaviour and I can only hope that witnesses will not escalate conflict to such a terrible degree.

The second observation I made is that there is a clash of ideologies. Centralization vs decentralization

I found it interesting to see that so many people consider steem being decentralized. So far it has been fully centralized by one ruling party. Just like democratic country with 20 main politicians who are all from one team. I would say that currently we're witnessing some sort of decentralization for the very first time.

Upvoted already, enjoy your weekend,
Yours, Piotr

    Thanks my friend. The key debates in the video is covered in this post, so there is really no need for you to listen to it :)

    Yes, the rep is really just focused on powering down the the powered up STEEM by the exchanges. The witnesses came from all different angles. Largely, their stand is that they do not want to risk a hardfork for because the exchanges screwed up by powering up users' deposits. However, I do not think they are hostile, they are just being firm.

    Care to explain what do you mean by it has been centralized by one ruling party? Do you mean that the prior elected witnesses before Tron came in are from one entity/party? Any references to back this claim? Thanks!
