Greed moves the masses.
Totally right. It's greed that blind the witnesses in not taking action before. I agree with you that all was meticulously planned and it's all about money. What's wrong with money? A lot... What's wrong with making more? Nothing as long as you play fair and those two scumbags haven't done that.
My fear, as I mentioned a lot lately, is that even if the old Steem will be hard forked, Sun will do everything to delist it. We rely only on a few exchanges for decent volume and if that is taken away, then bye bye Steem.
Or...we might get the respect from big exchanges and win more than we can loose and then the only looser would be Justin Sun. There's a lot of uncertainty still...
That is what I mean with option 2. Unfortunately, the remaining exchanges that accepts steem are not that big
I was actually referring to Binance too. They have all the interest in the world to list valuable cryptos. After all, it's money making. For now though...really really uncertain.
