Thanks for your opinion. Good to know top witness is in the same boat as the rest of us.
I think we should consider to push STEEM and STEEMIT (and possibly mrdelegation and whatever else got big without having to collect rewards or buy on the open market) accounts use the 'no vote' function...or at least think about having a proposal vote/survey on the idea. If 100 million SP says do it, maybe he would do it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. When I today saw you being at place 1 and then 2 of the witnesses, I blogged about this. I'm now taking a European break and look forward to find new perspectives in the moring.

I'm not very knowledgeable about Steem or Steemit Witness politics. So it's kind of nice to know that you are just as confused about the future (same as me). My SP is low so I won't loose any sleep worrying about whatever happens here, but I hope it's BRIGHT :)
- Thank you for your honesty and frankness 👍 Time will tell I guess $trdo √

At the end of the day Justin Sun will move Tron over to Steem (not the other way around). Steem has better tech, a way better community and he doesn't control Steem but does control Tron so its the only way integration will work.

He is a businessman who has made a big investment. Once he sees that his new platform is way better than his old he won't be nostalgic - he will make the correct business decision.
Don't be surprised if he renames Steem as Tron and says he's moved Steem over to Tron but actually done the opposite.

Congratulations @yabapmatt!

I too am waiting things out. I expressed in a post, which I tweeted to Justin Sun (probably won't read it but it's out there for him if he wants to read it), my hopes for the platform and such.

If it transforms to something that no longer fulfills the needs that Steemit was fulfilling, then I will see what I do, but for now, I'm posting, still delegating, and just waiting to see what happens next.

I keep going as usual!

I think it is going to be a great thing but regardless, Splinterlands is going to the MOON!!!

"The downside is that a new entity has taken ownership of a large and potentially controlling stake in the platform, and more importantly has significant control over what the name "Steem" represents. " -Yabapmatt Maybe if the community took their responsibilities to the network seriously there would be nothing to worry about, but..... We all know what happened over the last few years. lol

I hope we get some change cause the big witness themarkymark always flags everyone and acts like the sheriff on my blog!! I’m waiting for him to get fired, and for justin sun to fix this horrible situation!

Thanks for the witness update! Can always count on an honest and thoughtful response from you. ☺️

Thanks for the truth!

I am just hoping Justin actually sees the benefit of having Steem as a separate entity from Tron. Waiting to see how it all develops. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. My feelings are similar. The outcome is a big question mark, with opportunity for major growth or destruction of this platform.

However, now that I think about it, the situation is a win-win. One possibility is that Sun helps market and grow Steem without trying to convert it to a Tron dApp. The other possibility is that Sun tries to make Steem a Tron dApp and the resiliency of the decentralized system is tested. If Steem can't survive such an attack, then it's best to know sooner rather than later.

If anything it brings up any weakness people have in their own handling if things of things if it goes one way or another. It’s always good to let the wins ride and this could be a huge win. I found it alarming how many content creators never had a backup of their content when things were going down and where freaking out.  

Always good to have backups and other plans in place if needed. Otherwise everything else should be busy as usual. Perhaps a new spring in many peoples steps if needed resources end up getting poured into projects as a result.

I wish you would have been the CEO of Steemit from the start. We would already be on the moon by now, oh well.
