Swallow Your Pride And Do The Right Thing

Today I'd like to say thank you to all the Steem community who has come together in the past few days and moved every rock to gain back power, taken away from our witnesses by force. I keep saying on every platform that Steemit is nothing without the community and that the power of the community is unbeatable. The last few days we have shown the world what we are capable of. We're a force worth to be reckoned with.

I've been listening to the town hall meetings yesterday and the day before, reading posts and tweets to learn as much as possible about the current situation and about the options we have. It's definitely not a pleasant situation, this is a war in my opinion that is far from being over.

That seemed impossible two days ago became reality yesterday, 10 of our legitimate witnesses were voted in. This was awesome, showed the whole world what we are capable of!

However, today is a new day and there's a new situation, in which, due to proxy.token voting for Justin Sun's puppet witnesses, our legitimate witnesses were pushed out. This is a war and we need all hands on deck as I said in my last post yesterday! It's time to wake up and do the right thing!!!

If you can talk to your steem friends and see who hasn't voted yet and checked their witness voting it would be great!

I want to ask you to swallow your pride and do the right thing! I've seen some very childish (to say the least) behavior lately, if not stupid. Unfollowing and muting people who have removed their witness vote is not going to do any good. This is childish tantrum that has no place here right now. You should look at the bigger picture and understand that if we don't do this now, there will be no future for us here. This is our home, no one should take it away fromus!

Everyone and their cousins is pushing people to vote for the top witnesses. This is totally justified as spreading out votes on witnesses placing 100+ right now won't help anyone. We need to unite our forces and vote for those who have a chance to get into the first 20. Otherwise there will be no Steem blockchain for us! That is what everyone needs to understand here! If you're a witness and people are removing their votes given to you, you need to understand that this is a temporary measure absolutely necessary. This is not the time to pick the ones you like.

Spread the word on whatever platform you're using outside the blockchain, voice your opinion and/or share other people's post. We need to use every tool and opportunity to win!

Swallow Your Pride And Do The Right Thing!
