Adapt or Die
The big bad Sun is coming with his dirty dirty money and buying our sacred little Steemit land.
Cry me a river.
Can we all agree that Steemit.com was dying and we needed help? There has been about 10 active people in here, a few more working behind the curtain, but that’s about it for the past year. There is a saying in Finnish that roughly translates to the fewer the people, the better the party, and while the introvert in me is fully onboard with that, I do think we need more action in this Steemit party. And yes yes I know there are ten different Dapps and shit like that on the Steem blockchain but none of those were doing much better, let’s not kid ourselves.
There is a point where potential is no longer cutting it.
From what I’ve been reading over on Steemit in the past day after hearing about the acquisition, a few people are thinking about rage quitting, like always when there is a big change in the Steemit land. They are of course free to do so, but I don’t really see the point. If you are in here for the community, like pretty much everyone claims to be, there is no reason to quit over changes in the ecosystem, as the people will still be the same.
There is no glory in being a martyr. Others might disagree and see it as an honourable thing, but I don’t, I think it’s a waste. You can always go back to Facebook and Instagram, and then creep back when the dust has settles and you realise this place is still the best we got, even if not perfect.
Change is inevitable, and while not always welcome, it’s something we can’t get away from. I’ve been in the crypto space for almost three years, and while I’m no nerd and don’t really know shit about anything, I have learned to not stress over this rollercoaster. I’ve learned to stay on my lane and do what I like to do, not really giving a shit about the commotion around me, because it’s all out of my hands anyway. And guess what, I still get to post what I like, and the people I like to socialise with on the blockchain, are mostly all still here.
There is not much information about the logistics, timeline or really anything about Tron taking over Steemit, but speculation, fear and anxiety are big, only some seem to be hopeful. We’ll know more later today.
Came for the butt, stayed for the words.
Perfect, just like I planned it!
Very good plan and implementation!
I second that!
hahahhhahaha
Pretty much.
You would think it's not that hard right?
Perhaps it is because people wear skinny jeans these days, despite the obesity epidemic, ;D
Excuses excuses, jeans have 20% elastane these days, it's like wearing leggings!
I squat ;D
We could all benefit from putting on our big boy pants. :)
I just realised I'm pantless here. Do as I say, not as I do! 😂😅
Hell YA!
Heaven NO!
Well, that's the 2 choices. We'll see what we're dealing with when we see.
Till then. Be cool! :) I'm with ya!
Hasty reactions rarely end well. Keep a calm, cool head, and everything will be alright

If it isn't alright, we'll deal with that when it comes to it.
Bigger fish eating smaller fish, it's always the same 😂 but otherwise you are of course right, with or without boy pants 😍
Natural selection, it makes sense :)
HA! Thanks for putting that in some perspective.
Just my common sense here, willing to share it for others who are lacking on that department :)
I suddenly have an appetite for buns...
Sweet or salty? Like cinnamon roll, or dinner roll?
I think Steem has no chance of thriving as an independent chain now. Here's what will happen:
The Steem copy on Tron will continue to run without some of the most Justin Sun hating individuals who'd rather see the value of their stake go to zero than bend to the will of Justin Sun.
But a copy of Steem based on a snapshot of Steem from before the swap but with Stinc's stake cut out will go live at some point in the future. It will be nearly worthless monetarily due to not having its native token STC (Steem Classic) or whatever being traded on any exchange. If you want to know what a platform like that looks like, go and check out Golos, for example. Remember Whaleshares?
If you want continue to earn anything and benefit from the new bull market, you must go to Tron.
If a way to buy into Steem Classic is established, I will probably buy some more because at sub-1 cent or sub-0.1 cent levels becoming a whale will be quite easy. If that chain ever gets listed or if the crypto space stops being dependent on access to centralized exchanges, Steem Classic might gain a lot of value.
That's a pretty solid overview! Smart, fact based, not feelings based. We'll see how it goes.
I don't see fact, I see opinion. Sure it could go that way, but maybe not!
I think that some people are over reacting, once again, to this news. For the time being at least. Sun bought Steemit Inc., not the blockchain. Yeah, he could potentially try make a hostile takeover with the Steemit stake and/or bribing a group of witnesses, but I think it's way too early to assume the worst case scenario right away when its all just a big question mark.
Sometimes (or almost always in crypto) you just gotta chill the fuck down and wait what's actually going to take place.
Exactly, there is no use in jumping to conclusions when we actually don't know anything yet. There is literally nothing any of us can do other than wait, or cry over nothing.
Many people seem to like to cry over nothing :D
This is really great Eve. I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly here
Good good, do agree with me, I'm always right and my opinions are the best.
I agree with that
WHERE?! WHERE?! It was here yesterday but now only rain and clouds. Oh, we're not talking about my favourite topic, the weather. Hmph.
I'm thinking of doing that too.
...aaaand... we still aren't talking about the weather. Fo fucks sake, when are we going to talk about the weather?! I will quit everything if the sun won't come out this instant and give me summer!
Okay, I'll talk about this thing too that everyone seems to be talking. Here's my deep analysis: Things happen and I there's nothing I can say or do to change that. Acting on rumors or slim speculations is stupid. So I better just enjoy the ride and see where this is going.
We are far better off talking about just the weather, it's what we finns know and love! The sun ALMOST came out today, I saw it for like three minutes and then it was gone. It's been snowing almost all day. I assume it's been raining there?
You know the thing when some Finnish meteorologist say on the weather forecast in TV that there's going to be water from the sky in all state of matter. Vettä kaikissa olomuodoissa. (Mun käännös ehkä vähän tökkii.) Although I have never seen the fourth state of water coming from the sky, today we have had all the other three known states. Although mostly water and something that can't decide if it's solid or liquid. Shit. Sorry, sleet. Yes. That.
About the fourth state of water, it's called tunneling in English, which is rather dull

but I'm not shitting you when I tell you that it's called overcritical water in Finnish. Ylikriittinen vesi.

Think how that would come down?! Or am I the only one giggling to that? I admit, it's a bit nerdy, but hey, we're on Steem! Everyone here is a bit of a nerd. Or more than just a bit.
I would sell all my stuff, my firstborn (not kidding, does anyone want one?) and donate all my Steem to Sun to some day see and especially hear overcritical water rain down.
"You just had to put that yellow raincoat on, it's not even original 70's it's a cheap copy glued together by underpaid children."
"You try to look younger with those crazy high heal shoes? There's nothing that can save your ass from sagging."
"So you don't like rain? Or is that sour face your normal face?"
That
would
be
AWESOME!
That is totally a new form of water to me, and my brain hurts trying to read that article. I can't science!
Sleet, I always forget that word. Why is it so hard to remember!? Loska makes much more sense.
I think overcritical water could be the most Finnish thing ever. So if it ever comes raining down somewhere, it sure as hell will be in our fair country. Fingers crossed.
Sleet = Saatanan Loska Ei Enää Tätä.
Oisko nyt helpompi muistaa?
Keksin itse juuri äsken.
Ei arvais.
:D
That is so true.
NEROKASTA
Im so confused. Everytime I read an article about this, I just feel exactly like the person who wrote it, no matter what their opinion. I think I need to go to sleep and try to wake up with an opinion of my own...... (but most likely I'll just continue to try to ignore everything to do with technical details or monetary values - as per usual) x
Well aren't you easily influenced! I think the ignoring tactics will work to your benefit, no use crying over something that doesn't actually have an effect to your life.
True! and who knows there might be good sides to this which we haven't seen yet.
So let's do what we do and see what we'll have from now on! <3
And it seems like everyone was freaking out over nothing, at least for now :D
They don't forces for nothing, so definitely there are some stuff coming in our ways! :)
Highly rEsteemed!
Hahaha where did you dig that from? :D You know oldtimer means @oldtimer in this picture? :D
I pulled it off of an @oldtimer comment from a fork post back in the day ; )
I thought it was a better promo meme than anything the STINC group has come up with in 4 years. Your posts do more to positively promote this platform than any of the other players IMHO.
Kind regards and SteemON my dear!
Stinc does promo!? 😂
I sell Steem well for people who are already in here, but for others, I don’t think I’m much help at all.
you're a tremendous help... Don't ever forget it!

"Sun is here".
I thought that's the moon we're seeing.
Meanwhile on whatever this place is...
That's a damn great pose! That's all that really matters right? Haha
This is good
