I agree with many that fighting off an overtake attempt would be a great story for DPOS (which is needed as imo it has many weaknesses)... but also don’t see the point of settling for broken in the process.
The community is what adds value, and the value stays with the community.. where ever they find themselves.
There is something exciting about the idea of doing this right, as a community.. without all the baggage and bad decisions in the past made by a few. I guess we will see what happens.
It would be a great story for Steems DPoS but the fact that this is even occurring reveals a clear security issue with the blockchain. If it works then it would be a legend worth telling.
