I listened to the recording. Mr. Sun was very evasive on the important questions but holding him hostage has created huge mistrust.
Calling the version being run .444 is childish and mean. Saying you won’t even meet again until demands are met is not helpful.
Some of our witnesses in the meeting were tactful and held out olive branches. They did great. Others threw fuel on the fire. Not smart.
I’m hopeful but some need to take a deep breath, calm down and be more diplomatic.
There are many thousands of people being represented by the witnesses and many viewpoints and feelings - so it is understandable that the responses from them would be mixed. For me, it's interesting to be able to see a combined expression from a group instead of a, perhaps rehearsed or forced, impression being given by a single individual. I'd say he saw the reflection of his own actions.
Interesting for sure.
He was the same right from the beginning. I really don't understand people that were expecting anything good from him, like getting involved in development and investing in Steem. It was crystal clear that he bought to trade. The whole thing became a nightmare when the funds got frozen and he had to ask for help from the exchanges to get control over them again. It was a buy the rumor sell the news strategy right from the beginning and I said that multiple times on my blog as well. The reality though is that both of them are low character human beings, Ned and Sun. The first one was a bit more clever I guess in negotiations...
You really don’t understand what steemit is to Tron. Trons building an eco system so everything will be under one roof. Dlive for streaming, vibravid similar to YouTube, BitTorrent for file sharing and storage and now steemit for social media. Steemit wouldn’t just be flipped and sold off to make money. It will make Justin money by evolving, more users and growing the platform. This is where the money is. This is why the Tron community is exciting about this.
I guess you don't understand that. Listen to the conference that ha had with the witnesses and see what he confessed and what he actually bought Steemit for. It was clearly a pump and dump action, or buy the rumor sell the news.
Like I said I don’t really know what’s going on because I’m too new but I saw the video and it sounded like Justin had enough with everything that has happened and was ready to sell up and get his investment back.
Agree 100% on the childish .4444 shit - apart from that I am proud about the community and especially that we finally get some support from big guys of other blockchains.
sorry i (genuinely) don’t get what is childish about the number?
I know there’s some ties to death or the devil in numerology but that’s about it...
4 is very unlucky in China, it’s associated with death.
Although not a witness myself, and I can't speak for any, but I believe the symbolism is not lost on the witnesses, nor is it meant as a racist attack.
Rather, it is a protest meant to convey that the witnesses see the path taken by the Tron in using misappropriated customers funds to centralize the network (most likely a bunch of sock puppets running on a single node) as a sort of death of legitimate Steem governance. Apparently the core Steem developers and communications director agreed, as they resigned over it.
Hopefully it is a 'death' from which Steem can recover. We shall see.
Either way I would not overly fixate on the symbolism. The message of disapproval and protest being conveyed is more important.
thanks for the info :)
oh well - forgive me as a German I should stay away - but it is racism in my view (or could be seen as it - at least it is attacking via childish shit) to use such numbers that offend anyone in the Chinese World
I have seen language calling Steemit employee a "monkey" and to vote for a "human," in addition to cries of "Chinese communism" from multiple witnesses. These statements are dog-whistles for ignorant xenophobia and racism.

{The angel number 4444 signifies hard work. It's telling you that all your hard work will soon be paying off. ... If that major achievement is still a work in progress, the angel number 4444 wants you to work harder than ever to make it happen. You have done so much work already to just give up now.}
I'm sticking with this........ for now :)
edit: agree with your summing up
When I saw the 4, my brain associated it with the sport of golf. People yell, "Fore!" It means, "Get out of the way!"
I'm certain the version number could have been 22.9369 and folks would have found ways to find hidden meanings.
Why don't we just go full on mainstream politically correct and get rid of the 22 as well. Like. OMG! Two plus two equals four! Burn the witch!
The year 2024 has been cancelled and the month of April is now banned.
lols. I seem to be allergic to number 7. When they get near me i tend to move house, change wives and even change jobs! Numbers like 777, makes me faint just looking at it. Scares me almost to death it does. :)
oh thanks for popping up. need to get around to reading your blogs. seem to have misplaced everyone... somewhere
I came here and it said you wrote that comment 7 minutes ago. I hope you're okay.
You haven't missed much in the blog department. It didn't seem right to attempt my usual brand while so much was going on. Today I tried out a comedy skit and it seems the community isn't quite ready to start laughing again. Things seem quiet.
