I find it to be a sad day for Steem Block Chain. Who is going to want to invest in Steem after seeing this reaction from the witnesses? The only safe investor are those in the top 20 of the witnesses. 

I know they will just keep pulling the Ninja-mined card out, so it does not matter what the user thinks of this action.

What's ninjamined @davemccoy? I read it everywhere... but I don't know what's that😯 isn't it weird? They supposed to communicate clearly, the witnesses (big guys) and @jasonsunsteemit? I heard it will be on march 6th... why softfork then?

Ordinarilly it would be wrong to hold the tokens.  But there is a lot more history, a history of abuse at the beginning of the chain involving ninja mining of the coins-followed by concessions by Ned Scott.  Those concessions effectively reduced the steemit ninja mined stake to a restricted status where they could not be sold or used for an upvote.  What Justin sun bought from Steemit were not true steem coins, but restricted steem coins.

Given Eli Powell and Ned Scott conduct Lately, this was likely Ned Scott's exit scam from day 1.  https://steemit.com/witness/@aggroed/teach-the-controversy-softfork-0-22-2-stop-and-correct-potential-futures  He likely promised Justin Sun the steem block chain-which is ours not his.  Four of the main steem inc people resigned yesterday;  All that is left in steem inc are the marketing scammers [Ned and Eli] to my knowledge-and I don't think they will have a professional career after this-if they can avoid prison.  Given Justin Sun's crazy talk about the situation and tweets by steem inc, Sun is potentially repeating what the now defunct steem inc is saying to them as they try to protect themselves both criminally and civilly.  Justin Sun was scammed by Ned Scott, he was not harmed by the steem witnesses.  The Steemit community witnesses have no obligation to Make Justin Sun whole;  The community witness have a responsibility to protect the users and the chain.

  The firth thing Justin Sun did when he purchased the steemit dapp was talk about a token swap and bringing the steem chain to a tron [BTSF].  That would imply the death of the chain, and the ninja tokens could take over the chain in a few seconds.  The witnesses were told there would be a Q & A during the AMA-there was none.  They reached out to Justin Sun for details-he provided none.  This was an existential threat upon the block chain and it was the duty of the steem witnesses to restrict the ninja mined stake-and they codified it so the ninja mined coins had to comply to previous agreements.  Justin Sun's tokens in code became what they were agreed to be the whole time-restricted.  they did not steal nor destroy the ninja mined coins.  They held on until he would tell them what the game plan was.  Of could, Mr. "By my Shit Coins": had no game plan.  All he offered was hype and nothing more.  Even the Steem Marketing point was helping tron tokenize the web.  Tokenizing the web is a model that has failed tens of thousands of times of multiple chains.  On top of the inherent failure of tokenizing everything, using a centralized server to issue tokens is as suicidal as starting a block chain project on Tron Chain-Which Justin Sun will personally delete at his discretion.

  Of course, by acting defensively it just ensure that the first moment justin Sun could he would use his ninja mined tokens to take over the chain.  It was never safe to lower their guard. Justin Sun did something more sinister, he conducted the absolute largest fraudulent attacks in Crypto history upon a block chain, he/steemit bribed the exchanges ninja mined coins to give the chain to him.  The exchanges now have their clients funds basically locked for 4 months; they embezzled their clients money who cannot get access to their money for four months, they are collecting interest off of the staked SP,  they violated their fiduciary duty to their clients in violation of law.   It is a wonder how any of them will be able to escape prison because of Justin Trons/Steemits actions.

There are also numerous abuses Sun did to his own centralized chain, which he fraudulently markets as decentralized.  The attack likely came months of years before.  When poloniex, which Justin sun is a major owner, had difficulty handling "steem" accounts, then in October they delisted steem, and it went into free fall.  Then we hear Rumors Justin Sun is going to buy steem-then months later it happens.

There is nothing about Justin Sun that shows that he has a game plan, which is why instead of using speech and reason to present a viable plan he resorted to a hostile takeover.  That was not the case of the steem witnesses who were begging for speech and reason when Sun presented to the community so much hostility.  What he was after was power and control.  He didn't even need us if he was interested in our technology.  All he had to do was run a fork.  As to our coins; he was just going to destroy them anyways to create a new steem tron token.  That implied a new mintage.  Mr centralization would ensure he would own a controlling stake, plenty for his allies, he would do an air drop for his tron users, and create a massive theft by dilution.

Justin Sun is hostile invader who bought in under the false promises of ned Scott.  The witnesses codified steemits promise to us, which put Ned Scott in a tough position.  Justin sun has refused to speak with us, he walled the community witnesses hackers for doing their job.  he abused the exchanges to conduct a hostile takeover.

  it is not the responsibility of the steem community to make Justin sun Whole.  If Justin Sun wants to be made whole, he has plenty of remedies available in law.  but Justin Sun and his allies have conducted so many felonies in the process, I think he'll have more to worry about from a federal prosecutor than getting his money back from Ned Scott.  

Anyways, please remove your votes for the Tron witnesses.  Stop being part of Justin Sun/Steemit's criminal conspiracy against the commmunity.

Its not what he bought, its who he bought it from. That stake was ninja mined. Kind of stolen. It was never supposed to be used for voting and now that rule is also built in code.

### He's already at #17 Let's get him to number 1!

I don't think the rest of us have anything to worry about in regards to getting forked out but I certainly don't like what was done. 

Justin Sun bought his stake fair and square. Forking out his power that came with that stake is a shitty thing to do.

Those saying but .. but its ninja mined stake. To that I say.... Yeah, so what. Others have ninja mined stake as well. Plus Justin Sun didn't mine it, it was mined long before he purchased it fairly. The time to fork out ninja mined stake was long ago and it wasn't done, don't do it once someone buys it honestly. 

I think the blockchian is more at the mercy of Justin Sun now then its ever been due to the poor decision to lock out his stake. No big investor is going to dump money into this place with the thought in their mind that their stake can be just forked out. Justin Sun is likely our last big investor due to this hasty decision made by some.

It makes me uneasy, that's for sure.  Locking out an investor who has put his money where his mouth is.  I'm hopeful that, as per @good-karma's response, it is a very temporary measure to bring Justin to the table to alleviate concerns.

I also hope, that once that is accomplished, the code would be rolled back....(but somehow I suspect that won't happen)
