Wanted to point out my clarification. Due to twitter character limits I excluded "true glory" and made clear what I mean in the following tweet which makes the tone much positive imo.

<sub> Towards Steem. Ned's leadership?... Not so much. </sub>

I just popped on because I saw the news on Twitter... glad yours is the first article I read about it.  Probably the only one I need to be honest...

Thanks for pointing out the interoperability scenario. Seems like this would be the best way to go - a win-win.

I don't know the Tron blockchain technology, but I have doubts about Steem dapps being able to operate there. Migration doesn't happen just like that. There are layers and layers of technology enabling the Steem dapps to work on the Steem blockchain. And it can scale, has developer friendliness, nodes require low resources, and it is well tested with real-world dapps. Can the Tron blockchain do all this? I'm a regular dev, not a blockchain dev, but I have big doubts.

This is really an "i don't know" thing.

And that is bad.

When you are used to dealing with a group of people... and then a new group of people come in and say "we're in charge", things do not go well.

The big thing, the thing that has been confusing me ever since steemit != STEEM thing, is who and what is steemit?

Steemit has just been the big kid on the block-chain, but what power can they really wield?

My guess is we are going to have several new front ends, especially for onboarding new steemians.

I am of the "all publicity is good publicity" bandwagon. This will either shake up the ecosystem in a good way which we all agree with; or finally motivate the people here with vested stake to start a truly independent blockchain without steemit. Either way we will win in the long run I think. My guess is that they may simply link the steem token to TRX in a claytons way; steem really runs on steempower not steem so they could have steem on Tron and then when you vest it is linked as steempower on the steem blockchain which continues to do its thing and have its own governance structure. I think his main game is increasing perceived user volume on TRX DApp listings so he can get closer to ETH.   Do we really think TRX wants to run the governance of a whole social media platform?  Even Voice is on a sub chain of EOS not the mainnet.  

The best of it: we will finally run smart contracts on Steem v-v

Fork the code, remove all of steemit incs stake asap. 

You are being overly optimistic. Justin is a slimy snake. He has no use for negotiation nor does he care about anyone or anything.
You will take what he gives you and you will like it.. 

He thinks he bought a blockchain and thats what he is expecting to get.

I don't think the Steem Inc. stake moving to the hands of Justin Sun will make this more decentralized....

Let’s be practical. Tron moves ahead with projects. They deliver. We have been stuck in this set up for a long time. 
It’s a lot more easier to launch a token on Tron and get users to work with it. smts will finally be a reality

I am a stake holder of TRX and STEEM. Where do I stand? Do I buy my TRX or will my STEEM be converted to TRX? If converted then will I have full control of it to move as I see fit?

Honestly, as soon as I understood the ninjamine, I saw this coming.  I note the community is the critical commodity on Steem, and everything the community isn't is open source.

Either Tron plays nice, or Steem forks out stake, and allows folks to buy in rather than allowing a ninjamine to centralize it again IMHO.  I wouldn't cry if there was a cap on individual accounts that buy in, just to force whales to do the extra work to manage multiple accounts in order to wield whale stakes.

I'm not a dev, and can't speak to that ability with authority, but I am aware of folks that are that aren't fans of Tron, centralization, and perhaps have been hankering at the bit for a while to fork out ninjamines anyway.  I reckon there's talent nominal to enable Steem to progress developmentally, given our current SPS mechanism, even without Steemit's devs or Tron's.

I could be full of shit too.

The critical things for me is that I will not KYC/AML - this is why I do not have a bank account at all, amongst other reasons - and I will not be interested in limits on speech or censoring content.  I've objected to the censorship that was built in to Steemit from the outset with greying out posts, and vehemently objected to the #irredeemables censorship that targeted @fulltimegeek.  

If there's not an app I can post on Steem with, I guess I'll give up and migrate to linux or summat.  I am highly skeptical that Tron will support a censorship resistant platform, and expect I won't be able to transition to Tron, or Treem, or Ston, or whatever it ends as.

As long as there's a few folks that wanna hear me rant, I'll keep posting, but only if I can speak forthrightly and at my sole option.  TBH, I don't even care about the money.  I'll depart this world with all I need of that.

Thanks!

> Steem 100% migrates to Tron and our blockchain is left derelict.

This is what I think will be happening.

> I don't see a reality of how this can happen...You can't just plop all the Steem code on Tron and expect it to work.

You can't just "plop" it, but you can build it. They said very clearly in the announcement that: 

> TRON and Steemit’s development teams will immediately begin working together to bring Steemit and other Steem blockchain based DApps to TRON blockchain.

So they make a new token on Tron called "STEEM", and they work with the Steem core developers who now work for them to rebuild the Steem posting and voting system as smart contracts on the Tron chain.

> It makes a lot more sense for this whole "token migration" business to be a two-way street that goes in both directions permanently.

No, it doesn't. Justin Sun wants to take Steem and make it part of Tron.
