RE: 100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 14 - The Contest Support Fund
You realize that Steem, the decentralized blockchain, has already been outright killed by Justin Sun.
There is one node, which is censoring people.
The only witnesses allowed are the ones who agree with everything he wants (and as soon as you don't, you drop from #1 into the 50s...)
Steem died weeks ago. Anyone hoping it will live longer than it takes JS to pump & dump to make his money back isn't paying attention.
Either he maintains complete control of the chain, he turns steem into a tron token and shuts down the chain, or he sells of his stake, and most likely shuts down the only full node that's left.
Well that would be a tragedy, because I just don't believe Hive will go anywhere. The coordinators of Hive were active in Steem for years and never got it out to people, instead they milked the system for whatever they could get out of it at the cost of it growing to millions of users. They preferred being frequently on trending to a small community than risk being smaller fish in a bigger pond.
At least, that is how I see Hive witnesses and top stakers. That is also why I've been hoping that Steem could bounce back. Finally, for the first time in forever, the trending page is not filled with the same faces I've always seen talking about the beautiful future of Steem rather than anything outsiders would find interesting.
Steem just might be fucked. But to me, Hive is just as fucked. Maybe Uptrennd, Publish0x, Minds or Flote will work out because they don't have such an ugly circular incentive program. I don't know. I hope the best for all the platforms.
