Hi All,
I have been getting more and more concerned with each passing day, as it seems as though steem and steemit slowly heading in a direction which makes me uneasy. Seems with each passing day more and more restriction were and are being placed on the freedoms within the steemit platform and this always raises red flags, as I have been around in the crypto space for a while I have lived through quite a few unethical platforms that ended up stealing my money, so I am acutely aware of discrepancies that may alter my faith in platforms and their intentions.
Steemit seems to be becoming one of those, obviously we all know what has happened, but I am always open to different opinions and was even willing to wait and see what progress if any was to be made within that community, so far I am not convinced that steemit has its community at heart, so this makes me nervous, and have started trying to make some definitive decisions. There is nothing worse than knowing you are losing control slowly but surely of assets you have invested in heavily with both time and money.
I have been fretting about moving my steem for a while now, since blocktrades stopped listing steem on their trading platform, I used to use only blocktrades before as it was the easiest for me. I have since been scouting about to find a solution and I am happy to say I found it thanks to @naturalmedicine
Thank you so much for writing this post and giving all those who have been battling to move, sell, buy etc. steem a solution to this problem.
Please see below for an excerpt from that post with a direct link to detail instructions, clearly laid out and easy to follow.

22 days ago
The crypto-world is buzzing with life as the Steem community migrates to Hive.
Community members now hold both Steem and the newly developed Hive token in separate wallets, one on the Steem blockchain and the other on the Hive blockchain. Many people are currently selling their Steem to trade for Hive. While trading crypto can seem daunting if its your first time, @Ionomy has developed an exchange that makes trading fast and easy to use. This post will help you to better understand the process of selling your Steem, trading it for Hive, and withdrawing it to your Hive account wallet.

Thank you again, the information and solution is much appreciated, started worrying a tad bit admittedly, just glad to have found a solution. I am somewhat saddened by what seems to be the imminent demise of a platform I held dear to my heart for many years. Guess it is not over until it is over, who knows maybe someone could turn it all around, but until then take care steemit.

indeed, just did a few test back and forth and all went smoothly, a few more steps than Blocktrades but fairly painless and incident free, just happy there is an option, as I said truly appreciate the post you made and has my mind settled somewhat knowing there is an option that works.
I will follow your work to see what you up to, like your channel, looks like information i may be interested in.
take care, and stay safe.
You too my friend.😀
i'm ending my delegations (expiring Sat) and will start powering down steem. not sure where i'll end up putting it
Your post reminded me I have to stop my delegations and power down on Steemit, which I should have done a while ago. Thanks!
