Do you feel threatened by Justin?

It seems like people who post about the SteemIt.com acquisition are deluding themselves.

They say Steem is better than Tron when:
Tron is an Ethereum clone with most of the time free transactions and high scalability and Steem is a social media back-end implemented as a blockchain network and has three built-in assets. We cannot just create a new token that's native to Steem. You can do that in Tron. You don't put posts in Tron and you can do that in Steem. Steem can do things that Tron cannot, but I wouldn't say that means it is better.

I can understand why there is a lot of uncertainty. Could Steem be re-implemented as a smart contract set in Tron? I think it can. I think you could do so on any Turing complete chain. Whether the performance suffer so much that you wouldn't want to use it is another thing. Would we need Steem Witnesses? Since witnesses do other things than produce blocks, they could become more focused on these other things.

The worst scenario is every application has its own coin and too little liquidity so in order to get involved with something else you have to go from one chain to another and face the friction of a centralized exchange or worse use decentralized exchanges begging people on reddit of steemit. So, the bitcoin only idea used to make sense to me. Then we had too much on chain and no layer-two ready. Perhaps having everything on one chain is not the best solution either. but Steem blogging has been a kind of lonely application on a chain with a lot of talented developers who have been trying to fit this square block into a round hole. I look to moving to another chain with hope.

Hey @justinsuntron, I was wondering if I will be able to send STEEM or Steem Dollars to TRON smart contracts some day or maybe when we power down it will just be into TRON or some basket of things like Dai does on Ethereum.
