Good night.

Interesting article you just published. Honestly, it is of great help to many people, especially me, since I know little about Steemit and his fantastic strategies.

Thank you, brother.

> So in the end, while there are no technical or legal limits on what changes can be made in a fork

There ARE some legal limits. 

When the implementation of code breaches criminal law that is common across many jurisdictions - ie Theft - those implementing the code, and those directing them to can be brought held criminally liable.

See my recent post on events which happened after this post of yours.

Congratulations @blocktrades!

I still feel  secure on Steemit, great conversation in this thread, Ned, Dan and Elizabeth are doing the right thing, and we have good community leaders.

Let’s get this digital abundance, guys and girls!😉

@blocktrades, In my opinion beauty of **Decentralisation** is **Freedom Of Decisions**. And **Steem Blockchain** gone through from so many dynamic circumstances and survived and grown so effectively and in my opinion definitely this time also it will going to grow same way as always. I know it's very critical time for the **Witnesses** but we back them and believe that they will do what is good for **Steem Blockchain**. Stay blessed team.

I am learning slowly what this is all about and why there are so many ICO's. I am I right is saying most of the tokens or coins out their with their ICO's have mainly come off only a  few block chains then?

I really appreciate you

in the particular case of Szabos law and the 21 Million Bitcoin supply-limit, "code is law" is vital for price discovery and yes otherwise it is a weakness (evolution proves you right). Of course the term "law" is BS but it is a suggestion to the ones deciding. Once a particular system is established, you cant undo it by hopping to another software. You cant undo mindshare. Szaboslaw was allready broken when we shifted from p2pkh legacy addresses (starting with "1") to bech32 native Segwit ("bc1") ... after your logic it is fine, since there is no "code is law". But from a moral point of view most non-techi Bitcoin users are tricked off the Nakamoto chain. Nakamoto holds p2pkh coins, while most of the newer users hold netiveSegWit, while believing they hold the same BTC as Nakamoto 😂. The market does not discriminate between both flavors of BTC, but game-theoretically it is a huge difference if you hodl like Nakamoto or if you blindly follow the consensus ("because majority consensus is king"). Iterated over many trial and errors mistakes are fine and makes the system anti-fragile but can you really apply this to the already established systems?

This whole thing would make an incredible TV series. 
The early days, the ninja mine, Ned and Dan falling out, the forks, the reduction in inflation, linear rewards, reduction in power downs. Fumbled hardforks, outages and replays, the layoffs, Ned handing the reins to Eli; the sale; communities, the softfork....

I try to keep my finger on the pulse; but I feel like I'm 3 layers from the epicentre. 
When the dust settles I'd love to spend a long weekend binge-watching the back story.

I admit, my first response on hearing this was a negative one toward the witnesses that must be supporting it but in the light of the comments on this thread particularly,I have changed my mind. Yes indeed, this is probably something that should have happened some time ago too address the issue of the ninja mined stake. The timing, well, it could be argued that it is both good and bad. 

But, I am certainly glad I dropped by this post, it has assuaged my fears somewhat.
