RE: Final thoughts on Tron's Steemit acquisition
Set sarcasm to max: We had Jerry Banfield, right? Is he on the same level as Justin Tron?
So long as Steem retains its essence, an immutable, censorship resistance ledger where what you say is forever (so long as the chain runs) - I don't care what it runs on, even if its watercooled toasters in an olympic swimming pool filled with... well, I'll let you decide what nature of organic molecules could be in that pool. :)
Justin seems genuinely enthusiastic and believes in nature of cryptocurrency. He's a hype-r, and shiller, for sure, but its good to have someone like that with a significant stake.
That, or we should fear the inevitable "write off" if he predicts a further descent (if viewed from a traditional acquisitions and mergers corporate balance-sheet point of view).
I had forgotten who Jerry Banfield was, but now I remember. Sarcasm aside, lol, no, Jerry Banfield shilling expertise is amateur level compared to Justin Sun. What Sun and Tron have built is on a very impressive level - literally a multi-billion dollar network.
I had tron sub-100 satoshi - moved a lot of that into Steem at a specific point in history.
I'm camping out on both sides of the fence. I just want the platform's essence to be the same as is it is now, I don't call what its called or what it will run on, as per my earlier comment. :)
Never held any Tron, and didn't really know much about it before the rumours of them buying Steemit started circulating late last year. It's only in the last couple of days that I have read up about it.
I'm not precious about it, at this point I just want to see a social media experience that is at least as good as what Reddit offers, while retaining some of its unique properties. Currently, it's just bad, it's slow, there's hardly any activity or engagement, the tokenomics is unsustainable etc. etc. If that required cutting back a bit on "purity", I'm open to it.
