RE: My thoughts about getting decentralization back on Steem

Dear @bala41288
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. There has been so much said about this topic already and I'm trying to be neutral.
However putting blame and pointing fingers only at Justin is kind of wrong. You're saying that he tried to take over steem blockchain - however you seem to forget that witnesses were the ones to throw fist low blow (soft fork) and they also used their resources to promote narrative "us versus him".
It is said that the former owner of Steemit Inc promised that Steemit's ninja mined stake will not be used for centralizing the blockchain at any point in time
And yet, those ninja mined stake has been sold on the market and those who legally purchased it have an opportunity t use it. So it's a bit not right.
Instead of making noise back to Ned, this brilliant guy tried to go against the community and started shouting in front of the community.
Again, disagree. He didn't start. I've spent hours reading posts published by many people here (while Justin was still in "peace mode") and amount of insults, abuses and hostile behaviours coming from steem community towards main investor has been nothing but embarassment.
I'm actually glad that right now some witnesses belong to Justin and for the first time this blockchain is kind of decentralized (not ruled by one party - one group of well connected people, who support themselfs).
Upvoted already,
Yours, Piotr
First of all about the ninja mined stake. It is not right to sell the Ninja mined stake to someone. Ideally it should have been given to the community for some good projects. I don't think it should be assumed as Ned's property. I agree that Steemit Inc was Ned's property. But not the Ninja mined stake and that's one main reason why it is called Ninja mined stake.
But the way it was not put in the market for Justin to buy. It was an under the table dealing. What's the point of decentralization if under the table deal is going to happen.
I would not call Justin a main investor because he had no understanding about this chain and his idea of merging Steem inside Tron was not great and there was no open discussions from him in the begining.
There is definitely some reason why Steemit Inc employees quit their job. We have to understand that and have a deep thought.
I personally don't want someone to govern me without having any knowledge about the steem ecosystem and how it works. I don't want someone to ruin what I built in this platform over the past 3 years.
It shouldn't be like anyone can take control of me and destroy me just because they have enough money to do so.
You said that it all started after the soft fork. I don't think so. It all started from the acquisition of Steemit Inc by Tron. Justin assumed that he bought the entire Steem which was not the case. And, reducing the power down period to 3 days is utter bull shit. Someone who doesn't understand about how Steem works would do that. Even after all these things he is still talking about reducing power down to 3 days in the recent meeting he had in SCT discord channel without understanding the consequences.
Justin is just a kid with his father's credit card in hand.
Thank you for taking the time to write this awesome comment buddy
