Dear Justin Sun

Dear Justin Sun,

to answer your questions (some you've asked, some not):

1.) No, I don't want to fuck you. And I don't have anything against you. I was excited when the rumours started about an acquisition of Steemit Inc by Justin Sun . But this excitement rapidly went away in favour of mistrust and anger.

2.) No, I have no interest in taking your stake from you.

I supported the protective softfork and wouldn't change anything in my actions, because I (and many others) saw a huge threat in the PR you've pushed out after the Steemit Inc accusation (Old Steem token to be deprecated and moved over to Tron).

Also, I believe the stake has strings attached and isn't "just any other stake". You didn't buy it over the counter, you made a backroom deal with Ned Scott for the stake his company mined unfairly.

But I also see things as they are, and we, the community, can't really do anything about the stake anymore, without hard forking it out, which I will not support on this chain id.

So personally, I'm in acceptance that you own the stake now on Steem, but this does not mean I won't speak up, when I see you misusing it.

Also, I've been running the old 22.1 version for a week now (roughly).

3.) Yes, I dislike @ned and I'm very glad that this spineless liar isn't part of Steem anymore. (PS: @ned, if you read this)

4.) Yes, I condemn your actions of voting in 20 of your own witnesses, in which you basically fucked over the community and showed that Steem has huge centralisation flaws with the Steemit Inc stake. And no, just because there are a handful of people voting for your witness, does NOT mean the community is supporting you. 6800+ accounts are voting for me and I'm not even an OG witness. Your witnesses have roughly 100 votes.

5.) I will not participate in removing any public code, as even if we'd do that, what prevents us from creating private repositories or sharing the code privately some other way? You either trust the community, or you don't.

6.) I'm disgusted by your constant spread of fake news on Twitter, as well as your misuse of the SteemNetwork & Steemit twitter accounts by attacking the community who build up Steem over the last years.

7.) You should get more in touch with Steem first, before you publish & pledge massive changes. I've been here for 2 1/2 years and many even longer, so we've got some experience on hand regarding Steem. And "just changing" powerdown to 3 days or removing downvotes will have MASSIVE consequences.

8.) I'm not a hacker or malicious and I expect to have a formal apology somewhere along the near road. Same probably goes for each and every one of the other witnesses & stakeholders you accused of such.

9.) If you continue the hostile takeover, I fear that you'll push the community, who brought value to Steem, even further.

And let's not forget that Tron isn't the only SmartContract platform. Maybe for the project I'm working on, I'll just use EOS or Ethereum or Cosmos or a completely newchain, instead of potentially Tron + Steem.

The same could easily be said for many, many other apps built by those in the community, you're attacking as well as those countless others who are watching from afar. If a hostile takeover like this can happen on Steem, why not on Tron?

Now, I've made my chess-move. Please don't mess this up even further.

Wolf, @therealwolf

Thanks for taking ownership for having supported freezing user funds in the past and for committing not to freeze his funds now. It's important ALL STEEM owners know their funds are truly theirs if they own the keys. If all witnesses can commit to this we may have a trustworthy chain.

It may be happen due to frustration about steemit. But we do not lose your hope from steem.
@chireerocks(75)· 2356d
@therealwolf, I don't know about the TRON but in my opinion this Battle is not positive for Steem Blockchain because, we know the Truth but for outsiders Froze Of Funds from both sides raised concerns regarding Safety Of Funds on Steem Blockchain. Hoping that soon this battle will get over and we will get back to our normal Steem Culture. Stay blessed.

Might as well move on to another smart contract platform Mr. Blufferson.. Also what a snoozefest your redundant and impotent expressions are.. It's satisfying seeing your chump ass so desperate though.. The only legitimate question is do you think Justin gives a flying fuck about you and the other twats opinions, feelings, or pointless ramblings?

The karma will always make a balance in the universe!
@wakeupkitty(72)· 2356d
I doubt these questions were asked by Justin Sun. Let's see who will answer you. 💕

I'm surprised more witnesses aren't pushing back harder on the fact that the sock puppet witnesses aren't updating their price feeds regularly. Something that definitely does have a direct impact on the day to day workings of steemit. I did notice it was brought up in the Korean chat with Justin but I haven't seen any trending posts about it.

good morning wolf..

I pray you'll have more votes and beat those sock puppets to be in the Top 10.
@olimiesma(51)· 2356d
I don't usually Resteem normally.

However, I'm going to share this post.

I can only comment that you can say higher, but not much clearer.

My sincere thanks and of course my unconditional support.
@roundbeargames(73)· 2357d
is it possible to have a sister chain up and running where the new coin can be traded on exchanges that recently listed steem?
@sgerhart(54)· 2357d
Why not on Tron, Why not on EOS or Ethereum or Cosmos or a completely newchain. And what is it that makes you think the same thing wont happen again. I know that I'm probably way more lost and out of my lane here, being a complete newbie, but I thought the blockchain wa supposed to be the holy grail of incorruptibility. Thats the reason I apparently wasted my 5 bucks of ETH to sign up for a supposedly free whatever this was supposed to be. If one person sells out to his greed and basically sucks the value out of all the work everyone else did and all they can do about it is bitch and post memes on twitter then wtf is the point anyway. So much potential, or was it bs from the start? I know I'm very disappointed, The public at large will never embrace this for what it could have been and by the time yall get over the butt hurt the 1% will have taken it all for themselves. Sad
@philipkavan(57)· 2357d
Dear Wolf,yesterday I heard that rolendp and some witnesses are wiling to agree with Justin Sun.They want to reduce the power down period at first for 4 weeks and then make it even less.They are willing to remove the downovote feature.

I was so shocked to see the conversation that they are even negotiating about these stuffs.I lost faith in all witnesses to be honest.But then I see this post and it is making me feel better.

Everything you said here is completely true.Justin is a liar and he told the community witnesses hacker in twitter and in public.He wanted to take over and now he is pretending like nothing happened.It was all just a simple misunderstanding like he had no bad intention.

The points you have mentioned above showed what he has been doing wrong so far and what actually made the whole community angry except for a few of his Korean supporters.I may not have a lot of SP or influence on the chain as a common steem user but I want to say that I am always going to support you.
@remotehorst23(65)· 2357d
Very good Statements and i can say, with this you speak 100% for me. Thank you for being such a great Witness!
@jacobpeacock(74)· 2357d

I'm disgusted by your constant spread of fake news on Twitter, as well as your misuse of the SteemNetwork & Steemit twitter accounts by attacking the community who build up Steem over the last years.

This has been some rather deplorable behavior to see and is indicative of the character (or lack thereof) of Justin Sun and should by no means ever be forgotten nor wholly forgiven.
@abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2357d
At this point I think he wants to bail and take as much of the stake as possible with him. It is sad that anyone still trusts him. I suspect those people alsonwamt to bail.
@arthursen(48)· 2357d
Thanks for all the work you do as a witness, hopefully we'll figure this whole 'merger with Tron' thing out this year, this platform has so much potential.
@manniman(69)· 2357d
yes, the gif is really great and no, it'll be for the best to restrict the movement of the ninjastake permanently.
@liondani(70)· 2357d
Can I copy paste it and make a post for me?
@enjar(79)· 2357d
That gif :)
@argsolver(53)· 2357d
Lets explore the idea of evoluting the current Steem DPOS into Steem REDPOS to avoid future Justin Sun's events.
@wizzdom(69)· 2357d
@ned is a rat, so sad to realise it
@khaleelkazi(82)· 2357d
I appreciate your answers to those questions and overall stance. I obviously don't speak for anyone but myself, but from what I have heard in various townhalls and on the streets of Twitter/Steem, I believe that the majority of the witnesses/community stands in alignment that:

The Steemit stake should never be used to vote, but also shouldn't be forked off the chain. This answers the fundamental question that Justin keeps raising as his main concern - his funds being stolen.

I also believe that it is in our best interest (and his) for him to keep that 65m STEEM as a stake in this chain and allow the community the breathing room to keep buidling here on our chain. It simply allows him to enrich himself and all he would need to do is fire out some tweets to promote the things happening on Steem (arguably, the thing he enjoys doing anyways).

Hopefully this message becomes clear to Justin/his team.

p.s. lmao at your GIF to Ned. I hope he sees that someday.

very well said, yeah he's spreading unbelievable rumours which was going back at him. He's like a child who asked for the support from his parents.

Good answers..
@slobberchops(82)· 2357d
I do wonder if he reads.. or even sees these witness posts.

Just over a month ago we were trying to get non-STEEM content on trending in an attempt to get new users onboard. What hope is there now?

The Steemit page should say, 'Closed shop'.
