I agree generally with what you've said here. 

Particularly around the idea of "if he bought it to bulldoze it... then Im opposed."

I think this is the heart of the conversation. Is he a bad actor? Lots of people think yes. And they point to what he said about migrating to tron... but where I differ on that point is that it seems to me he didnt understand what he was saying. 

That is not feasible or really possible. If he insists we do that, he is hostile. 

I think the initial indications that this is what he wanted were in part his own lack of understanding, and in part just a excessive exuberance. 

And I would point to the fact that those posts have been deleted and retracted as evidence: Evidence that this is no longer their position. 

So what is his position/intention? Seems to me this simple: he wants to make money.

It sounds like from the most recent releases Ive seen, he wants to add value, raise the token price, sell some of the tokens to extract his initial costs and then sit on the rest, without direct oversight on Steemit inc, and/or Steem. 


Seems like lots of people dont see it my way because they expect him to dump the ninja stake, or try to force Steem to merge with Tron, and neither are acceptable. 

I would add that Ned was selling the Ninja stake too, so if Justin wanted to sell some or all of it, but was adding value to Steem by attracting attention, then we might kill two birds with one stone. 

Get rid of the dreaded, maligned, ninja stake, and disinvolve Justin Sun. But if I were him, Id want that stake in my possesion, not frozen. 

Anyways, thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. 

In the end, lets just all hope this resolves itself SOON!

Steem is climbing, and the attention this is bringing is so far helping price, but  we need to resolve it and move on. Hopefully amicably.
