It's all about the ninjas, dude. They have, and will always, control everything on this platform. I really hope that people ask themselves why the “fork” really happened and for whose benefit - some of us really know why, and I could see it from before it actually happened.
Why were accounts that laid dormant all of a sudden on a campaign to "save" steem. There are no saviours anywhere, just tyrants. Both sides are just as shit as each other, and we are the only losers.
I have seen plenty by doing my own digging over the years, and It's not hard to see/find, for those who want to search. All anyone needs to do is find the “original” accounts and the trails it leads them on. Follow the money! Never fails...
And yes, this is a hell of a lot more nefarious than what most can fathom. Centralised decentralisation. A nice gimmick at best.
