Is this what you stand for?
Look at your leaders. The ones voted in by Justin Sun. They are going to hard fork and delete the balances of dozens of accounts and move the funds to a anonymous account, totaling over 23 million Steem, which is about 5 million USD.
My accounts are on the list. Totaling over 2 mil SP at roughly 500-600k USD.
You all know me. I've fought for Steem, I've defended it countless times. I've helped many of you, curating your post, gave my advice, money and helped most anyone who asked. I left Steem because if you respect and love me, you know I fight for decentralization, not centralization.
I am willing to give my life to defend decentralization. It wasn't Steem I loved but what Steem represented. I moved to Hive because we were forced out of our home, unto the streets, and when you throw a community like ours to the wolves, we return leaders of the pack.
And now, Justin Sun, with the willing help of a handful of people (witnesses signaling .23 HF), are stealing our Steem.
"First they came for the large accounts, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a large account.
Then they came for the Hive supporters, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Hive supporter.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
If they can come after me they will go after anyone. I am a public person, my name is known.
Go spread the word. Let every Steemian assembled know the truth of this. Let each among them search their own soul. And while you're at it, search your own.
Justin Sun can copy code, buy out companies, but he will never be able to make free people his slaves. He's got it all wrong, and the truth will be brutal. Crypto is not his place, he should run a normal company and be a tyrannical CEO. He has nothing in common with the philosophical roots of crypto. He's a sham, a disgrace and a moron.
So before Justin steemit was decentralized? wtf u on?
Seems like our leader will strike the fear into people so no more trouble on the platform. If you are good then u get to keep your money!! lol this is nutz!! I know how u feel, when I got my HIVE blocked it was horrible!! Sorry!!
It is better to make a SPS proposal at Steem like Hive, If you thing that you have wrongly selected for account frozen.
According to the HF announcement, there will be SPS proposal as you suggested.
I'm just curious about why accounts such as @freedom and @mottler (who has not been involved on this Hive fork and even have been inactive for years) are included on the list...
There may be mistake, this can be solved.
If they think that wrongly chosen for account freeze, they can apply for SPS proposal and community vote for it (same like as Hive).
Let me ask you something, what would happen if somebody went to a financial institution and took by mistake 3 million dollars? They're get clean by saying oh I took it by mistake then please let community judge if it was fair or not??? All transactions are public, there's nothing you should ask to community about these accounts... No transactions were made by them during the Hive vs Steem events, there's no way you can proof that even if those accounts have some transactions with the targeted accounts (I do t know if this is the case, I'm just guessing they have cuz otherwise this is even worse than it already seems) they are actually owned by the same person, you cannot go and take.millions of dollars based on vague assumptions...
These is just common sense, just in the way people who's supporting Steem right know voiced their disapproval for prior witnesses freezing Steemit INC's funds because of assumptions of possible actions (actions that sadly have been confirmed, granting them the opportunity to say a huge "I told you so" to everyone who disapproved they softfork, myself included), you and everyone on the platform should oppose this... Otherwise your initial claims against prior.steem witnesses loose whatever high ground they could have...
It is really funny that while we had helpful and productive conversation via DM and in this article there are trollers who speak as if they are representing you - and most of them don't even understand what's going on.
As I told you in the morning, I had to resign from my witness team due to violence threats. While I may continue to work for potential resolution as we discussed, but since I am not a witness anymore and I am tired of talking to trollers what I can do may be quite limited.
It's not good for people to use violence in any way to address disputes... I am really sorry to read all this, I understand why you don't support why Hive creators and supporters did to many members of the Korean community, and what they did by freezing Steemit INC's funds, but this action clearly violates the principles you have been arguing for the last couple of months... Maybe, you should stand firm on those very same principles and while still remaining not supportive to Hive you also should be condemning this outrageous actions.
Just my two cents
Incredible that they’re taking users funds. Feel sorry for you. Losing half a million. Luckily you still have your HIVE!
Motherfuckers will have it! I promise!
time to say goodbye steem.
Lolz, you little whining fart!!! :)
If they can delete and create STEEM with a simple fork, they're like the Federal Reserve. They create "money" from thin air, but really it's just stealing from everybody else that is holding that currency. They're worse than simple thieves... they're stealing from every account on the chain.
