Threespeak - OLD

Interview with @andrarchy about TRON and OpenLink.

Instead of running around like a headless chicken screaming any old shit and creating more FUD than anyone can stomach, @blockbrothers went and simply asked and got the answers from @andrarchy.

Simple right?

In the future let's be more professional, cause this was simply embarrassing. Especially witnesses should know that it's impossible to just copy a blockchain like Steem and paste it onto TRON.

We don't consider Tweets sources, and only what you hear directly from @justinsunsteemit and Steemit Inc. we consider real sources.

Witnesses should be calm and assertive and act like leaders until they have the facts. You can't go around creating FUD.

To recap this interview (from 00:00 - 24:10).

The team was part of the deal and no one was laid off.
They did not know when the deal happened (but were aware of talks with parties, basically they learned with us when it happened).
No ads soon on steemit.com (thanks @justinsunsteemit).
No token Swap.
No moving to TRON.
Faster onboarding is something @justinsunsteemit mentioned as very important.
Communities on steemit.com within 2 weeks. Go @roadscape!

Most importantly: The team is fully committed to the Steem community. The capital that the TRON foundation can provide towards Steemit can be a massive win-win for both parties, and it's time to get excited about the possibilities.

ps. Openseed will release Open Link within a month! Private Chat coming to you soon!

On a personal note, @blockbrothers thinks that @ned was dead weight. We believe he lost his passion for Steem and are happy he passed it on. We wish him all the best.

@justinsunsteemit now has the power to bring this place to higher levels than otherwise would have been possible.

But make no mistake: we as a community are strong. Why? Because we are real and we care. Never forget that.

If you enjoyed this interview and think @blockbrothers is a good addition to Steem we would like to take this moment to ask for a witness vote. We have lost some major support recently and can do with some support (we mean, there is even a dead witness above us now, that is an insult to everyone that runs a witness for Steem in the lower regions).

nice video

wonderful
@oyddodat(57)· 2379d
So I'm pretty new to all this and am practically blockchain and web technology illiterate. I understand the principles but not the specifics. What I do know is that decentralised, open source web technology offers a possible solution to the obvious censorship being rolled out everywhere else on the Internet.

So call me cynical, but what possible joy can their be gleaned from Justin Sun, a World Economic Forum Davos "Global Shaper," taking ownership of one of the potential solutions?

Am I missing something here?
@vgabriel(25)· 2381d
Here it's a verry good Interview with @andrarchy ! I think that Steemit will not have any financial problems in the future, I think that they will grow bigger and bigger. I'm new here , but I already like the idea of this website.
@calisthenicsdrop(66)· 2381d
Private message will definitely open new light to the project. Steemit is a very fast growing network and I think it will keep growing more when more mobile apps and easy access is available for daily use from users.

What i know is that this is going to be a big development for the steem blockchain
@uyobong(78)· 2383d
This publication is really soothing. It is an eye opener to the opportunities that are possibly opening up for Steem and Tron users. Beginning to see a future with this collaboration.

So many thanks to you @blockbrothers for stepping ahead and give us some direct “sun” light to our fuddy darkness. You @exyle always at the front such convinced and excited! @andrarchy thanks for that useful info and all your efforts for our loved steem ecosystem, may that help us achieve that “New world” we are all wishing. My previous asTronnishment has changed to consciousness, thank you! Hugs over there 🤗
@justineh(72)· 2384d
So people should stop the FUD and only take what Justin says as a true source.. but ... What Justin has said is the source of the FUD.

Are we unaware of that or just attempting to spin a narrative that includes denial?

Strange world lately...

@fionasfavourites(77)· 2384d
Thank you @blockbrothers and @andrarchy for this. It certainly helps to clarify a great deal. I shall be sticking around and hoping that Steem recovers again soon. We need a Crypto spring!
@michaelakintola(48)· 2384d
If no token swap No moving to tron. Then, let's await next decision
@howweroll(69)· 2384d
Man I am so excited to hear all of this. Powering up my account very soon! The sign up seems to be a lot faster already, the last couple of people I onboard got their emails in days rather than weeks. We've also been testing the communities out on the beta page, and really like it. So this is all perfect timing, especially with the bull market seemingly starting.
I'm going to bring a lot of extreme sports, and downhill longboard racing to Steemit. The ultimate dream will be to sponsor races, and the riders, using the race footage as content to create their prize. Going to be a lot of eyes on steemit if I can make this happen, and I might just be able to create and curate longboard content for a living! ❤️
@kus-knee(74)· 2384d
Great interview and congratulations on landing the interview. It says a lot about your credibility and your importance here!
@melinda010100(80)· 2384d
Thank you... You both rock! ❤️
@thegamefiddler(58)· 2384d
A very interesting interview. At least it's in Tron's interest to help Steem succeed.
@coingecko(71)· 2384d
Great news! This is an amazing interview, thanks for this interview and clearing out some of the confusion.
@vlemon(78)· 2384d
What a great interview @exyle and @andrarchy !

I have been not knowing what to think and quite pessimist during the past 2 days, thanks to this video, I am actually very EXCITED !

If Justin is not taking us over against our will, this could be great for both ecosystem even if I believe STEEM had SO MUCH to come with openseed, openlink, etc...

What a time to be alive !
@geekgirl(80)· 2384d
Thank you for making this interview.
@cristhian357(35)· 2384d
Hi God bless you.. I'm new, can you help me in the page?
@artemislives(74)· 2384d
I fiund this a really steadying, important post. Thank you. As a fairly out-of-the-loop crypto newbie who believes so much in the concepts underpinning steem, I feel encouraged to relax, breathe & allow for the possibility of this being a truly awesome leap forward.

Great you used @threespeak... am reminded to plan my next video.
@tamiil(69)· 2384d
Wait, so when OpenLink gets here, it will also be the first time we'll see the new sign up process? That's what I'm most excited about. With this, SMTs and RC delegation, plus communities I'd say we're pretty close to the perfect blockchain. :)
@valued-customer(75)· 2384d
Very happy to see this interview with @andrarchy, who surely has cleared up a lot of questions that have been troubling ppl about the sale of Stinc, as well as gave such an optimistic timeline for the release of his new project.

Thanks!
@howo(76)· 2384d
Am I the only one who's sad about the removal of ads ? It showed great potential and now that surviving isn't an issue, we could use that money to buy steem and redistribute it to community members that brought the most views to the platform (and thus earned steemit ad revenue). Which would both create buy pressure and incentivize people to promote their posts outside of steem.
@mcfarhat(71)· 2384d
Fantastic interview! Thank you both for putting the time to go through this answering key concerns spanning the whole community. Awesome!
@lordbutterfly(80)· 2384d
@andrarchy

Justin released a bunch of trash on twitter and did a embarrassingly bad AMA and you guys from Steemit.inc said fuck all... What again is your job and title, can you remind us?

During the bear market when Steemit.inc didnt do anything for a full year and just dumped on STEEM to survive it WAS US, THE COMMUNITY that stuck around being the lifeforce o the chain.

You might not have a contractual obligation, but you have a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY towards the community to make yourself heard on all this! There were serious talks about forking the chain. There was fear (im still really cautious no matter the video) about multiple things, fears that were legitimate. And you said nothing... Major fuck up from your part. (And dont give me the "it was the holidays or whatever)

Other thing is the TRON marketing team. WE NEED THE JUSTIN TWITTER ACCOUNT TO RETRACT ALL THAT CRAP and set it all straight. His twitter account or a video directly addressing all issues. Anything you say here dont mean much. We need the word from the source.

Ill think of more stuff over time but for now im willing to wait and pay attention to changes. If you will tell Justin one thing, tell him that the community is more then willing to flip him and his money off and pack our bags if he ever attempts anything close to what he and his retard marketing team was insinuating.
@phgnomo(65)· 2384d
As a employee, @andrarchy cant see the whole picture, just like us.

There is too much blind Faith being deposited over Justin Sun. And I think it's really naive to assume that his priority will be other than growing Tron blockchain.

Here is my vision on how things will pan out.

https://steemit.com/hive-175254/@phgnomo/the-steem-is-dead-long-live-the-steem

In the end, everything will be kind of fine, but at the end of the road, we will see steemit Inc/Tron withdrawing the support for the old blockchain.

PS: like @andrarchy sad himself, employees are under a contract, so don't expect them to provide the whole plan (when they know what it is) to the public, unless they are instructed to do so by Tron.
@sharpshot(69)· 2384d
Why didn't they talk about all these things before putting out news about Steem having a token swap? It will take a long time to recover from that, as it went all over social media and everyone that dislikes Steem was spreading it. They aren't likely to tell all their followers that they got it wrong. I know Tron do this sort of thing all the time but it seems unprofessional and they should of learned from their many previous mistakes. I hope the swap is dead and buried now but until the Tron team get their act together, its hard to get excited about their investment.
@nickyhavey(74)· 2384d
Thanks for speaking to steemit and getting information from "the horse's mouth. There was a sickening amount of FUD all over the place which was pretty toxic and it showed in the AMA.

This should put all that to bed.

@always1success(70)· 2384d
Thank you for the good news! Resteemed!
@khaleelkazi(82)· 2384d
This definitely helps to ease a lot of the uncertainty that has been going around.

I think the speculation that the community has had regarding these communication gaps has been spot on — clearly there is some kind of marketing machine going on the tron accounts that is putting out information that is a bit contradictory. It seemed that they hadn’t done their research on Steem and Andrews answer lines up perfectly with that — these communications may have been put together by people who don’t technically understand Steem and our community/technology. They also may be using language that doesn’t correctly identify the processes (ie saying token swap when they mean cross chain atomic swap — two very technically different things that have similar names).

It seems that the Steemit team was thrust into this thing the same as the Steem community. Ned’s whim strikes again.

I also see the potential for better Leadership and resources from Justin as compared to Ned’s lack of leadership, resources and general sense of not caring about this community.

With all that’s happened and also with this new information, I continue to take the stance of cautiously optimistic. It sounds like Andrew is also on the side of cautious optimism as well.

This could be a great rallying point for Steem and I’ll keep my eyes peeled for both the potential downfalls and potential opportunities that arise out of this.

P.s. openlink and openseed sound amazing. Hopefully we’ll be able to get our hands on it soon and the Steemleo team can test integrating it into the https://shop.steemleo.com as a communications channel between buyers and sellers 🦁

@jrcornel(82)· 2384d
Thanks for doing this. Clears up much of the confusion out there.
@ezzy(77)· 2384d
We just have to look at the plain and simple facts. Justin Sun is an entrepreneur and businessman in the crypto space. And what do all businessmen have in common? They want to make money. Preferably loads of it.

Therefore, him stomping into our community and razing this place to the ground makes zero sense. We all lose out. Remember, he is also actively "invested" into this blockchain, no matter how bad or good a deal he got. Hence from that prespective, we also all stand to win too, right? That being the more wholesome outcome to the situation, I'm sure we'd all agree. So after listening to this interview, which succinctly addresses the myriad of concerns making the rounds during the last couple days, I'd say let's push all the FUD aside right now and allow more of this picture to take shape organically first.

Emotional extremes are never a sound basis for good judgment calls. However, a little patience and clarity is all that's needed to remedy that. After being on the fence too myself, I'm at peace with this new operating environment we find ourselves in and have decided to give Justin the benefit of the doubt. It just seems like the logical thing to do. The greatest burden Steemit Inc. have been facing, in terms of "funding", appear to be alleviated. With the financial noose now removed, the untapped potential for Steemit (and in turn, the STEEM blockchain) has a chance to shine. Very brightly, might I add.

Let's embrace it and labour toward a more unified approach going forward. As I said, if everything works out like I think it might after hearing the above, we "all" stand to gain massively in the end.
@abitcoinskeptic(75)· 2384d
You both look happy as usual.

Let's all use steempeak (screenshot included), share steempeak links, support the steempeak proposal and praise the steempeak team.

Steemit is Tron, steem is not Tron. That said, I wish the Tron team and blockchain all the best.

PS 3speak is great for videos =)

Good Job @blockbrothers @exyle @andrarchy

This are good news!
@enjar(79)· 2384d
Good. Their marketing team needs to get its ducks in a row because my god I’ve seen people who have spent a single day on the platform be more knowledgeable than what they have been pushing out.

Holy Cow this was a Hundred Dollar Post already when I voted on it......Great Job @blockbrothers ............
@hobo.media(64)· 2384d
Why did he say a "Tron-based 'steemit' token" and not a Tron-based STEEM token? I'm beginning to wonder if we're going to see a completely separate asset from STEEM emerge that will actually compete with STEEM...
@tudors(63)· 2384d
Finally some concrete information at last.

I have no problem with Justin buying over, Ned appeared to have lost direction. As long as they keep these promises we'll be alright.
@michealb(67)· 2384d
thanks exyle, andrarchy.
@mmmmkkkk311(64)· 2384d
@itstime(61)· 2384d
Let's see how it turns out...

I am not too assured on the token swap outcome ..."for now" I think it will happen gradually within 1-2 year...
@anthonyadavisii(73)· 2384d
Good because this does reflect what Justin released on his Youtube Channel. It's still not deleted by the way. You would agree leaving conflicting information out there can lead to a lot of chaos.

I would advise he delete the video to show his earnest. If he fails to delete the video, good chance something isn't smellin' right if ya catch my drift.

Already sitting at 63 downvotes to 16 likes. YEEESH.

As for the promised, I will wait and see. Not take any drastic action..

Hi @blockbrothers. It is true to keep calm because the waters are calm, do not be alarmed by speculation without foundation, caution and patience are the key and continue in what we are as normal as possible.

@chekohler(76)· 2384d
Finally some clarity, really appreciate it I said the same thing, the best future for both would be to have a dual chain approach with atomic swaps since steem can do things tron can do and vice versa.

Together we can be the best dapp recruiting platform and provide a superset of resources and developer tools that ETH and EOS cannot. The more dapps the more chance to bring in users, the more value for both chains
@denmarkguy(79)· 2384d
Thank you for this! I'm glad to finally see something basic and understandable from someone who's actually at the source. These swirling rumors and all the FUD has just been really frustrating to sift through.

Resteemed.
@meesterboom(81)· 2384d
No ads!?! Who the hell does this guy think he is!? Maybe we'll just fork the chain and keep our ads so there!

;0p
@steevc(80)· 2384d
If they can do as they say then this could be good for the Steem community. Some serious funding behind Steemit could help build the userbase and maybe get some big names involved. I know little about Justin, but it seems some do not trust him. He will have to prove himself to us.
@martie7(62)· 2384d

No ads soon on steemit.com (thanks @justinsunsteemit). No token Swap. No moving to TRON. Faster onboarding is something @justinsunsteemit mentioned as very important. Communities on steemit.com within 2 weeks. Go @roadscape!

So much good news. I think this should affect the market price. Steem dipped a bit thanks to FUD.
@paulag(74)· 2384d
awesome. I was thinking last night @andrarchy wouldn't be working so hard on his dev if things were going to change dramatically.
@namiks(77)· 2384d

No token Swap. No moving to TRON.

And we can now relax. Time to look forward to what comes next.
@toofasteddie(77)· 2384d
Finally!!!

To recap this interview (from 00:00 - 24:10).

Most importantly: The team is fully committed to the Steem community. The capital that the TRON foundation can provide towards Steemit can be a massive win-win for both parties, and it's time to get excited about the possibilities.
