>These are the consequences when one person @ned decides to sell, all that talk about decentralization was just a marketing trick, dpos proved to be a flawed system, specially if you include premined coins.

Have seen some convincing articles exploring in-detail the weakness of dPOS. POW also has its flaws and susceptibilities but it seems dPOS's are greater, from what little I know.

>What can I say this was the worst imaginable start of new partnership, witnesses did a radical move with softfork, steemit inc did even more radical move with voting in new witnesses. The trust is ruined for sure on both sides.

From the very beginning press releases it was failed communication and lack of trust on every level.

>With all this going on I have a legitimate fear that I wasted almost 4 years of my life on this blockchain. Things will calm down as they always do, but being an active Steemian during these days of radical moves is not easy at all.

One year less for me, and yes I put large sums of $$ and (far more valuable to me) energy/life into this place. However, I am confident that I will not look back with regret given the lessons I've learned and relationships I've built. Completely agree that this is a difficult time to be involved, past few weeks have been absolutely crazy! !ENGAGE 30
