Great to read from you again! Thank you very much!
The Top or Flop Community is an excellent idea! Subscribed!

Your vision of a neutral steem only for the witnesses, who are producing blocks would be a 180 degree turn to the status quo. Hmm . . . renting RC to authors, who urgently need RC to function properly would be very helpful though. On the other hand those authors probably will also have very few SMT tokens for paying the rent . . . I do not know if this kind of compensation for SP holders would work out for both sides. But in any case, it is worth discussing!

I totally agree that forking the chain is a bad idea. A fight between the steem witnesses and JS would in my opinion be exactly the opposite what we want to achieve.

Es ist und bleibt spannend.

Welcome to the new groups-universe. As you are a impotant part of the good old [Guild](https://steemit.com/deutsch/@knozaki2015/steem-guild-deutsch-ankuendigung-announcing-steem-guild-german) #deutsch, dear @twinner, I always follow you and of course your new Community too. I'm in and have already spend my first vote into this new group.

Your thoughts about the new Moon in the Steem-sky are quite reasonable and near to my own thoughts. TRX comes along like a real shitcoin. But it seems, its project Tron has a attended standing in the cryptpscene. But I would never, never change my STEEM into any TRX. Oh never! The STEEM is a gem like its blockchain. I would never leave my stake into other fingers than mine!
Thank you for your statement.

Hallo @twinner ich halte diese Gruppenbildung für kontraproduktiv so wird sich alles mehr verlaufen wie ein Haus 🏠 mit tausend Räumen die man ablaufen soll

Thanks for the support and the update on this Top or Flop Community 🙌. I will join you soon. 

Ich bin dann auch so frei und schreibe auf englisch. Für die audience ;)

"Some users think openly about forking Justin out of the chain. At the moment this would be a bad idea, because the fork would not benefit from the promotion of the TRON founder."

I'm glad more people think so. I don't really know how to assess the transfer, but the development Steem has made in the last few years hasn't really convinced me. This is one of the reasons that I have stopped my activity on the platform. Basically, I can imagine that an external influence, which may possibly also influence developments and marketing in a different way than before, can be helpful for the growth of the platform.

On the other hand, especially if I include swaps, I wonder if the goal of the new management will be the further development of the platform and what this will look like in reality.

As I am interested in the topic I read some contributions and was surprised how many people vote for a fork. And then with the argumentation in the back that the real value of the platform is the people and that they would stay "at the core". I think such a fork just takes the capital and therefore more or less the attraction of the people from the platform. The result would be a price decline and a gradual crumbling of the platform.

In this sense I wanted to have my mustard on it. If I post again, I will use your community. So, and then I disappear again.

You need to stake more BEER (6 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

I’m all for TRON and getting new governance!

Hi @twinner,
leider gelingt es mir nicht, meinen Post bei dir unter "TOP 👍 or 👎 FLOP" rein zu bringen :(
Ich komme mit den Communities noch nicht zurecht.

Interesting times and some changes. This is a good thing because only change and transformation creates new opportunities and growth. I am curious how all this will develop. For me the Steem Blockchain is a big experiment and I don't understand everything that is going on here. I am not a nerd and prefer to spend time in nature rather than in front of the PC.

The communities definitely help to bundle different interests and separate them from the wild chaos. In how far SMT's are the solution for a fairer reward, I can not judge. 

In a world where everything is tracked, tokenized and catalogued on blockchains, data is more valuable than anything else. Everything gets a value and is evaluated. In how far the curse or blessing for mankind is, must be shown in the future. The artificial intelligence will increase exorbitantly in any case. Curse or blessing? Probably both!
Let's hope that Mr. Sun has understood how important a decentralized social media platform is today and especially in the future. Making money is one thing. Free and self-determined living is another. Both together a blessing :)

At this point a big fat THANK YOU! for all your support!

Steem ON!

Thanks for sharing this! Things are going quite complicate now. At the moment, I don't spend too much time on steemit. Nevertheless I'm going to vote, read, and comment articles of my favourite mates. And I constantly increase my SP from the rewards. Unfortunaltely I am currently missing inspiration for writing own posts. 
Without having too much detailed information I believe the purchase of steemit.inc by Justin isn't a bad thing. The journey will go on in the right direction. This my gut feeling is telling me. 
I'd like to meet you and some other well known guys again in March here in Munich.
See you, mate, and have a nice Fasching!

Hi Twinner

>The global Rewardpool in its current form is the cause for all the dramas and disputes about rewards, downvotes etc. As long as it exists, there will always be rip-offs and disappointed users who turn away from STEEM. And the STEEM price can't rise either, because as soon as the price rises, the rewards of the scammers will rise as well, who will immediately sell the rewards on the market, which will bring the price down again. A vicious circle.

It is just a question of demand and supply.

The price depends on many factors - global situation of the economy - political decisions and even the normal daily and weekly activitis.

How ever - future will tell what way is the best.

I have some doubt about Tron, because Tron is a member of the system which always meets at Davos each year.

The system doesn´t like competition - so the steemworld could be in danger.

The market signals uncertainity. Otherwise if Steem is a success, than it can grow in significant manner.

SMT s will show if they are able to generate new fields of commerce and new members to the steemchain.

Best regards.

Helau! !BEER  !COFFEEA

Good luck with your groups, I support generally this innovation on Steemit and think communities could make it more attractive for old and new user.

In this new experimental era of blockchain tech and paid social media, we are still debating about how to improve the system after years already, what a volatile situation, with massive FUD. SO it will test the faith brothers and sisters, in the steem blockchain. Faith in the management has crumbled it seems a while ago already. 

Hey this is still the pioneering years so those with inherent optimism will keep the faith, while others will be shaken out. 

subscribed! because the openminded way of thinking is never a bad thing. Good to hear your ideas out in the open!

The global reward pool will be needed for a long time to come because it is an important part of how the ownership of stake is continuously decentralized. Decentralizing ownership of stake is of supreme importance. 

I joined this great Top or Flop Community on Hive several weeks ago but I was so lazy to post. Poor me. But now I am back with full Force on it . Although am a farmer, husband, Self-employed, traveler, gardener and a photographer but still I will be more active and happy here too. Thanks for creating this huge opportunity for us all. You are my best Mentor 💯💯
