RE: Steem is in trouble. Here's how to help.
Hey @steemitcuration, don't worry about 'writing a whole post', we are all worried and involved and it's good to get the opinions out.
I think you missed the point where they tried fuking him over first.
I understand what you mean, and if we only look at what happened 'on the chain' then it might look like 'the witnesses' were the first one to 'attack'. But as I wrote in another comment below my post:
There's a lot of evidence suggesting he was planning something 'hostile' all along. Amongst others: 1) screenshots with announcements that Steem would be made worthless by adding a Steem token on Tron and adding that one to the exchanges instead of our own $STEEM, all these announcements have been removed from the twitter and medium pages, but the screenshots still exist, 2) him ignoring the pressing questions that he said he would give 'the highest priority' during the AMA, these were questions that would have been able to reassure us, but he chose to purposely ignore them, 3) him ignoring many requests to talk to him in calls - witnesses did have ideas on how we could keep the status quo without doing a soft fork, but he chose to ignore these invitations, 4) his recent voting in of Tron Super Representatives, showing he is willing to use his money to get a blockchain to do what he wants, instead of trusting the consensus.
If we take actions 'off the chain' into account as well I'm not so sure if 'we'/the witnesses were the first ones to attack.
But this is certainly not a black&white issue, keep reading and informing yourself, a lot has happened, and there's no easy way to generate an extensive timeline about all of it and find an objective 'truth'.
Cheers.

I am not disputing the fact he may not be trust worthy.
But it is still speculation.
On the other these have been here for years what have they done?
Everything has been in the interest of there own pockets.
I have no intention of going anywhere either way i have 3 accounts and have my own token and have invested at a much higher buyin than others.
But the whole thing was rigged for whales from the start.
There plan to seperate is poinless.
Which clone can you name that has worked none and thats what a new chain will be.
So why not work with the guy and build it as he has stated a few times.
If we dont wanna believe him fine but there is even less reason to believe the previuos ones
I think this is where we disagree which is okay :-)
No fork has ever been able to 'take with them' all the Steemians. I 100% believe Steem will be where the Steemians are. Sun doesn't understand this - if he did he would've been more interested in talking with us. If the Steemians move all he bought was a company (of which now 3 people who are essential already resigned!) and a piece of code that's open source anyway. He'll have nothing if we all leave to another fork of our chain.
This is what we wanted but I think it's too late now. Trust is broken.
