1. The Tron / Steem Partnership

A little more clarity on the changes afoot today, with the first communications from any of the Steemit Inc team.

First up @exyle did an interview with Steemit Inc Head of Communications @andrarchy. From the discussion @exyle highlighted these points...

  • The team was part of the deal and no one was laid off.
  • They did not know when the deal happened (but were aware of talks with parties, basically they learned with us when it happened).
  • No ads soon on steemit.com (thanks @justinsunsteemit).
  • No token Swap.
  • No moving to TRON.
  • Faster onboarding is something @justinsunsteemit mentioned as very important.
  • Communities on steemit.com within 2 weeks.

Ok, so my takeaway from this is that we should be buying up steem hand over fist! Is that correct?

Thanks for the support, glad you caught the OneLoveDTube hive community launching 👍

Here is hoping DTube implements communities in the near future, for now we cross post with an alt account 😎 boosts for authors I can get behind that idea 💪

Yes I saw that note about Communities. Hope they can get it included in DTube as soon as possible.

I believe the new Steemit.com with Communities will be launched in the next two weeks.

Sad to hear ads leave. Ads, prevalent upon all commercial platforms help determine...viability because ads track actual users and viewers. Besides providing an additional revenue stream, there are hidden commercials in movies which help defray the cost of production, advertisers exercise freedom of expression. Banning expression in one form, leads to the banning of expression in other forms, and in the people like me who need to express themselves so that others may continue to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are silenced. We never hear from people like you either

Good point re ads.

I use the Brave browser so I don't actually see them though.

I definitely can't wait to see the new actions and I'm going to say that this new acquisition and partnership is only going to help us grow.

Recently the exposure and publicity has really help the price go up.

Awesome!!!!

It is certainly creating a buzz and bringing more people into Steem.

I have spotted there is a hemp community on Tron - EMS I think it is called. Not sure if you have connected with them yet.

(Edited)

so basically nothing changes, no swap no token swap, the man just bought the company and leaves everything where it is , the same old censored that has proven to work so good after four years the company had to sell itself to someone with money with the same old crappy rules pretending to be decentralized with the same people dictating , the same people downvoting and the little bump it had has been corrected faster than i could open a browser to check it ...

on top of that , the main topic is still 'bring a friend and some money to save the whale* because we need to sell that ninjamined pool from the start and lets not tackle hyper-inflation even if its mathematically impossible to have a dollar for everything that has more numbers than the amount of dollars in the world and

this is going to compete with eos voice, which is going to compete with facebook

right

... im up to speed now, thanks :p

honestly ... me being a total loser and a broke bum i obviously don't get high-level harvard and the likes - type business strategies like "buy a failing company , sack no one, change nothing, keep going with what wasn't working so they had to sell"
and stuff but that's fine ... plenty about the world that looks awfully weird to me, and happy for "the team" anyway, losing the mullah always sucks ...

it does save me time since instead of keeping open eyes again, if nothing changes, i dont have to waste too much time ( = lol yes omg ) ... and just check now and then

same old witness protection racket, same old 'i have 1000sp more than you' for fun downvote trolls

same old hyperinflation , no migration, no re-streaming, no fundamental but actually no changes

i have a hard time believing that but

as always, pennsif , YOU are a time-saver always with the goodies in one place

im sure if i just keep an eye on you i can follow up without all the
stuff around it :D

Glad to be of service.

I'm sure there will be significant changes coming down the line - not sure what and when though yet.
