Surprise AMA

Where I am at the internet upload speed is about 1mb, so livestreaming on 3speak won't work. I am getting a lot of redundant DMs so figure it's best to just do a AMA, I am sure there will be lots of Tron questions.

I don't know everything going on behind the scenes, but will lend my thoughts. If you have any questions ask below.

    Thank you very much, for your help to our community

  • @uyobong(78)· 2384d

    Hi Dan, in the recent community creations, what do communities stand to gain when users publish posts in communities apart from Communities? Is there any share in users' rewards as I see pending rewards in community feeds?

    I understand the anxiety that such news must produce; that said, is it fair to say that we content creators benefit from the purchase, by accessing an audience that we did not have before? (I mean, because of the possible association of TRON and STEEM) Well, the reality is that content is what adds value to this chain (STEEM).

    Hola @theycallmedan ¿Se esperan cambios fuertes en el sistema de recompensas a las publicaciones?

    Hi @theycallmedan Are strong changes in the system of rewards to publications expected?

  • @lanzjoseg(78)· 2385d

    Hi @theycallmedan I read a publication that refers to the speculation that is being given about the SBD in the bull market, But with everything that has been going on since yesterday I feel more speculation with insecurity of what might happen, an acquisition with hostility can not get anywhere, many of us will be the losers, especially those who are disadvantaged with very little SP.

    This uncertainty of not knowing what will happen has me very worried about the future.

    i think our family is not happy with this , so here is my question, why did it happend with steem, steem need any other help, because steem is one of the top family so why did it happend

  • @avare(65)· 2385d

    Sir, what happens next? will steem continue so that? Will there be a changing situation for dapps?

  • @oppongk(69)· 2386d

    Loudly heard & very perplexed about this happening..... Not quite long a go that steem is shaking up at the Crypto market. Everybody is ready to engineer his effort, now another surprise news: steem & tron partnership. This raises a question in our ears; well, don't actually know what has gone so far behind the scene D:, but the question is can't steem stand on its own? How is token going to be strike, having steem & tron joined? How are steemians going to cope thia new era, & two different administrations? We need to really share our thought in this AMA.

  • @wesphilbin(68)· 2386d

    Would have loved to see tomorrow's (or today's) official AMA taking place at #theramble with @shadowspub... a place that was founded with #community in mind.

    Appreciate the opportunity @theycallmedan... do you think this will have any effect on the whole #newsteem downvoting madness?

  • @janijani(43)· 2386d

    Resteemed your posting

  • @alokkumar121(82)· 2386d

    Hi Dan There are things like SMT and communities on the way and Steemit was handling it all. Now since tron is going to take over so they might change things their way and they even might stop .. what's your view on this?

    @theycallmedan If you are going to attend tomorrows shit show try and find out if they are going to continue the blogging and also what are their plans / views on flags. ie. if they are going to continue the blogging site are we going to get more or less flagging. I will not be attending but I am sure a lot of us lurkers will be waiting to see your write up and op after the tomorrows meeting. As a reminder, less flags = good.

  • @sepracore(64)· 2386d

    We need a SPS proposal to pay the Steemit Inc Developers to finish Communities and SMTs and let’s just keep rolling!!

  • @yeceniacarolina(69)· 2386d

    I confess that all this has confused me, but if you are calm and waiting for more news, then I will assume that this is a good sign. Tomorrow will be another day and we'll have more information. A hug, @theycallmedan.

  • @marybellrg(75)· 2386d

    I can only tell you that whatever decision the owners and managers of Steemit have made, it is for the better, to improve and to grow. I still trust Steemit, I still love this network, I will wait for the course of events. A hug for you, @theycallmedan

  • @denmarkguy(79)· 2386d

    Hi @theycallmedan, thanks for doing this... I'm just sitting back and waiting for something more tangible to drift down from the top, aside from rumors.

    One thing, though... given your background in poker and game playing, do you have an opinion/sense about the timing of this announcement "coincidentally" falling on the same day as Voice formally started Beta?

    Could this whole thing not be so much of a deal, and more a "tool" to throw some rocks into Voice's works by deflecting attention from what they are doing by creating a bunch of competing news? As in, there really is no firm plan, other than to disrupt Voice's game?

  • @equipodelta(80)· 2386d

    Sorry Dan, it's normal to be afraid. I'm scared. What will happen to us little fishes if you bigger ones are wobbling around?

    So, so SO many questions, but I can't seem to articulate them. Thanks for the AMA offer - reading the comments here is helping me wrap my brain around this a teeny bit. Tomorrow's live stream from Justin (DLive? Really? OMGWTFBBQ!) should be interesting, to say the least...

  • @phortun(79)· 2386d

    Hey Dan, can you honestly express your feelings about this whole TRON thing right now? % excited vs % worried... I know a lot is yet to be clarified but I wonder how you, one of the biggest Steem investors, feel about it right now. Thanks.

  • @uyobong(78)· 2386d

    You believe so much in steem according to your words; what's the worst scenario here that can demotivate you and trigger your powering down?

  • @nonsowrites(76)· 2386d

    as one of the biggest investors in the steem blockchain I ready do want to hear your thoughts on this new acquisition and the future of steem. How does this acusiquition benefit steem? If there is a forced coin swap, does the community and witnesses have a fighting chance?

  • @cyberblock(65)· 2386d

    I see a lot of pessimists surrounding the news. I personally don't think Justin is going to screw over the existing steemit user base as that is the most valuable part of the acquisition.

    How will Justin reward steemit holders and tron holders in a fair way during the migration?

  • @gadrian(76)· 2386d

    Will 3Speak migrate to Tron? How will that affect censorship resistance Steem has and the direction you guys were building 3Speak on?

  • @belkisa758(76)· 2386d

    Hello @theycallmedan, how do you see the context with the Latino community, is it possible that the change will also adopt new rules?

  • @cryptobrewmaster(71)· 2386d

    Hey Dan! The main question: what will happen to Steem blockchain after all? We all waiting for an AMA by Sun and Ned, but still, what are your thoughts about it?

    Posted using Partiko iOS

  • @clixmoney(78)· 2386d

    All the questions I have are in this post So many questions about steem and tron !. I hope some of them at least will be answered. I also asked questions in this tweet : What does it mean guys ?

    For some reasons after asking those questions so many followed me in twitter. I don't know if the tags #steem and #steemit braught me that attention or something else. Maybe tron investors now are interested and they are following the most active steem creators who are promoting steem. I don't know.

    I also noticed that only in one day and that's today, over $21 million was inveted in steem. That's really huge. The price is growing, the ranking as well.

    This is what's confusing me. We worked so hard and waited so long to see the effect of our promotion and now some people saying that tron guy is buying steem. He maybe baught steemit, but not steem. But, still they have enough stake to lead and enough power to change everything. But, I have a solution in my mind.

    Maybe we should keep promoting and invite new whales, so their stake will be much bigger than steemit's stake and that what will save steem to stay as it is now. Could we do it in a short time before they start to apply the change. That's the biggest question.

  • @sumit1998(67)· 2386d

    @theycallmedan It is very confusing is he buying hole steem blockchain or only Steemit ?? If only Steemit then what will happen to steem??

  • @lion200(63)· 2386d

    We all know as steemians that Steemit is not STEEM. Not even close, being a not really user-friendly interface to post to steem blockchain.

    Like everyone I am also confused about the news, and don’t know what to expect from it.

    What do you think about the quite short tweet from Ned mentioning that he Sold Steemit to Justin? We know that Steemit is not Steem, but everyone else would think that this whole selling is about STEEM blockchain.

    It is quite annoying that Ned just tweets a one line message instead of a brief explanation to avoid confusion. What’s your view on this?

  • @gregorlca(6)· 2386d

    Let the power be with You but Please donate my shy person - im poor:(

  • @sharpshot(69)· 2386d

    If they are going to kill of an independent Steem blockchain, there's no way I will support it, I will have to look at other options. Interesting that this is happening around the same time EOS Voice is going to start up. Maybe the thing that gives Steem value, its community, should have offers from Tron and EOS? Both of them seem to have enough funds to entice us.

  • @raj808(77)· 2386d

    Not sure if anyone has asked any of this, or if it's something that is answerable.

    Surely SMT's and communities are done and worthless if all steem dapps move to Tron network? Is this the case?

    As I understand it, although in beta, these developments have been coded into the steem blockchain! So if the steem blockchain becomes defunct, all that work goes down the shiter.

    Does the Tron blockchain even have the capacity to run communities with their own proof of brain tokens?

    It seems to me that if the answer is no, Ned's tactic of selling to Tron will benefit only Ned, while screwing over the whole of the steemit dev team.

    I've got to be honest, the whole thing reeks of exit strategy.

    Your thoughts?

  • @tamiil(69)· 2386d

    So the Medium post mentions how they'll start working on bringing all the dapps over to Tron. Have you been contacted by Steemit Inc regarding 3Speak? And what are your thoughts on that possibility, would you do it? To me Tron looks like a major downgrade compared to the capabilities of Steem, so my personal preference would be if 3Speak stayed a Steem dapp ofc.

  • @joshman(74)· 2386d

    We'll see what happens. I'm going to power down about 25% of my steem and hold it liquid for Justin Sun style hype train. I might miss the boat in a week, but the chance of a pump and dump and being able to get even more steem (assuming I like the direction things are going) is low risk.

  • @rehan12(79)· 2386d

    Was it the right moment for Ned taking such a move ? As an investor & user ur thoughts !

    If there were to be a STEEM fork... where would 3Speak end up living? I.e. "new" #NewSteem vs TRX STEEM

  • @maxdevalue(69)· 2386d

    It this also a right time to power up Steem, or should Steemians wait for clarifications?

    Thanks Dan.

  • @dalz(81)· 2386d

    Do you understand what this announcment is, or you are confused as all of us?

    Buying Stimit Inc stake is one thing but trying to shut down the chain when it is at peak development seems hostile?

  • @gniksivart(69)· 2386d

    The future of Steem without Steemit.

    Better off as we can't rest on Steemit to make the improvements for us and have to do it ourselves?

    Doomed because we don't have enough developers to keep improving?

    Obviously a middle of the road response is welcome as well.

  • @chireerocks(75)· 2386d

    @theycallmedan, In my opinion current picture is reflecting as, this Announcement came in rushing and created some Confusion. In my opinion when two well reputed Projects are coming together then in my opinion terms like Steem and Steemit should be properly Quoted because these are two different things as a whole.

    It's good that you've gave this subject a bit rest instead of sharing your thoughts at this moment when things are not clear, when things are not clear then every bit of feedback can become Next Version of the actual Information.

    In these kind of scenarios what is your Opinionated Viewpoint towards the speed of development of Smart Media Tokens (SMT's)?

    Thank you.

    Have a great time ahead and stay blessed.

  • @jordangerder(76)· 2386d

    Will the STEEM generated by steemit be replaced by Tron?

    Do you think this is good news for content creators?

    Will the change to tron bring something positive?

  • @mindtrap(75)· 2386d

    This wasn't a last minute call but planned months ago...furious about the "leadership..."

    Will you buy TRX? Is there any chance that Steem goes to hell?

  • @jrcornel(82)· 2386d

    On the whole, good news or bad news for current steem investors?

  • @pablo1601(74)· 2386d

    They are definitely very good news for steemit. Should we be so optimistic?

  • @honoru(75)· 2386d

    I think it is a good news for steemian.

  • @josediccus(83)· 2386d

    For people like me holding stake does it mean my stake and Steem will be amount to nothing under Tron?

    Token swap or Steem fork?

  • @geekgirl(80)· 2386d

    Will you try to keep Steem as one chain and refuse potential migration to Tron chain?

  • @deniskj(67)· 2386d

    Do you think the price of Steem going up had anything to do with the sale?

  • @freddio(60)· 2386d

    What do you think about this ninja shit News from Steemit inc?

    SMTs are ready (testnet)

    Communities too (testnet)

    = Steem 2.0 without Steemit inc? with all cool Stuff we want since years.

    Or SMT are buggy and the sellout is the Plan to surrive?

    b) sad that you are unlikely to be picking up 10,000 SP/month for much longer

  • @ssjsasha(74)· 2386d

    how does it feel hearing this news the day after powering up 1/4 million steem?
