I have already posted my declaration here: https://steemit.com/statement/@yabapmatt/re-therealwolf-public-witness-statement-therealwolf-20190118t180401998z
I consider the situation to be very simple and I really don't understand why there has been so much fuss over it. Anyone who would like to remove Steemit, Inc's stake can just create a non-contentious fork which would create a new chain and a new token. Call it SteemCash, SteemSV, SteemNotIt, or whatever you want, and make whatever changes you want to it. Then people are free to decide which chain they want to support.

Simple as that, but who will join him or them? And who will do all the work?
That's up to the people starting the new chain to find developers and get people to join them. It's a tall task for sure, but the point is simply that if anyone doesn't like something about a certain blockchain platform, they are free to create a new version of it that they think is better. Absolutely none of this drama would have happened if that's the route that had been discussed.

And how long before someone just forks it again removing them?
