Update: Join @justinsunsteemit Town Hall Tonight!

Hello Steemians, a week ago we posted there would be a series of Town Hall meetings this week. We held a witness Town Hall on Tuesday, and today we are excited for the community-wide Town Hall starting at 6pm PST.

Please Join the Town Hall at 6pm PST for Updates

This week we have seen a lot of debate and conversation take place about the future of Steemit since joining the TRON ecosystem. Not only was the witness Town Hall informative and enlightening, it paved the way for everyone to listen, share ideas and find solutions to bring these two great ecosystems together. I look forward to sharing these, and more updates with everyone at the Town Hall. See you soon!

@broncnutz(79)· 2360d
you wasted our time at this meeting. you must think we are dumb over here.
@valerianis(64)· 2360d
So, how was the "talk"?
@juliakponsford(79)· 2360d
That was the worst town hall ever...
@jacobtothe(77)· 2361d
The big question: do I switch to Steempeak, Busy, or some 3rd frontend I can't think of at the moment if this Steemit BS persists?

I dont like tron ecosystem, we are all steemians. We dont like tron devil
@fozdru(47)· 2361d
Everybody is moving from Steemit over to Steempeak or any of the other Steem Blockchain DApps.... There are plenty to use so there is NO NEED to use Steemit anymore. Don’t delay and don’t continue to use and support Steemit/Justin Sun.

@alexvan(79)· 2361d
Can we use UTC as time instead of PST/STD or whatever else?
@ew-and-patterns(71)· 2361d
Invites the community to a meetup, but it's at 4AM in Europe.

My psychic senses tell me this probably didn't go well.

We will not be entering but wish a success.

@indigoocean(69)· 2361d
Just came out of that "meeting." That was absurd. No progress was made at all. The discussion seemed to be Justin talking about Tron and trying to make the case for a 3 day powerdown being better and his ability to get lots of rich people to invest in STEEM if we'll allow the quick powerdown.

No, we're not doing that. Next request please.... or just powerdown.

I'm not downloading an app! Sorry

Justin can fuck himself.

@furion(71)· 2361d
What would happen if users initiate mass withdrawal of STEEM from all exchanges? Would voting exchanges be forced to buy / borrow STEEM from other exchanges that did not lock up their coins? If so, would this liquidity crunch create any price premium on STEEM itself?
@vikisecrets(80)· 2361d
Why is @steemitblog not burning or declining the rewards on the post any more?

@soyrosa(75)· 2361d
Unfortunately not an option for me in Europe (3 AM) with obligations in the morning. I hope those present will hold a civil discussion and I hope on a constructive outcome. All in all we will all have to give and take a little bit to come to a compromise. Looking forward to conclusions/notes tomorrow.
@revo(62)· 2361d
It's hard to see what a compromise would look like. Steem wants the contract with Ned about the use of the STINC stake honoured, and Sun wants to be able to sell that stake at any point of his choosing. These two lines in the sand don't share any overlap.

Maybe a compromise (if coding it is feasible) is for us (steem) to lock up a proportion (25%?) of the STINC stake for a set period of time (1 or 2 years?) to be used for growing the blockchain value. After that point all the stake is available for Sun to withdraw at his pleasing. Sun is ultimately going to get the latter with the help of the exchanges by the looks of it, so it makes sense to give him that ability while still working to grow the value of his investment.
@mrgreen(64)· 2361d
btw, why should we download and install that tron.zoom.us thing? which I'm sure 99% of us never heard of?
@nonameslefttouse(77)· 2361d
I won't be able to attend.

I will offer Justin 30 STEEM for one ounce of truth though. If someone could pass that message along, that would be great. Thanks!

You're accepting payouts now?
@mstafford(68)· 2361d
All I've heard from previous meetings is that this a "two way street" in terms of compromise. But I haven't heard any offerings from Tron / Steemit on how they plan to rectify their MASSIVE fuckup -- only requests that we make special allowances to blockchain code to allow their exchange friends to backpedal out of "aggressively borrowing" customer funds to hijack a blockchain on behalf of a private corporation.

You are NOT special. YOU fucked up. It's up to YOU to make it right, and you WILL NOT come out of this whole without sacrifice.

That said -- I imagine that there are pathways forward that could be mutually beneficial. Perhaps making a formal, contractual obligation with a portion of the contentious pre-mined stake, at a 1:2 ratio of the CUSTOMER FUNDS FROM EXCHANGES THE YOU UNETHICALLY (and probably illegally) utilized to hijack this blockchain projct.

Justin Sun previously mentioned that he purchased 70M STEEM... You've currently UNETHICALLY (and again, probably illegally) utilized about 31M STEEM from Binance alone.... I haven't looked at the numbers from Huobio or Poloniex, but I imagine they're substantial as well. All these exchanges want out, and we (the community) want to stop living under the thumb of some corporation that cares not for the longevity of this community.

Time to step up, admit that YOU fucked up, and put something substantial on the table. It's fair to say that there was a moderate amount of uncertainty and panic involved in the decisions, because they OBVIOUSLY weren't made with an understanding of the consequences at hand if they didn't play out as intended -- because they didn't.

There's every liklihood that committing / investing in this blockchain will work out for you financially in the long run.

Nobody here wants to destroy Justin Sun and Steemit Inc. We just have no desire to live under the thumb of an ignorant, greedy, shortsighted and foolish corporation full of empty promises (and, in all likelihood -- contract breaches) anymore.

Like anyone... Acknowledging and rectifying mistakes is the best, and probably only way, to grow in a healthy and profitable way.
@deniskj(67)· 2361d
Steemit.com became part of the Tron ecosystem not the Steem Blockchain. Learn the difference. 😊😊
@berniesanders(77)· 2361d

Fuck @justinsunsteemit.
@lordneroo(74)· 2361d
No, thanks.
@belemo(79)· 2361d
No more fuckery guys. Let's just treat this thing like two drunk adults and be nice.
@stackin(78)· 2361d
Hope its not another bribe talk and a talk about quick power downs... Why is the team only focused on quick power downs.... something fishy going on here. 🤦😂
@fredrikaa(74)· 2361d
That's 3 hours earlier than what was shared in your first announcement. Why the change?

Will try to make it, and hope it can be positive, but this is difficult for anyone in Europe.
@thatkidsblack(72)· 2361d
I'll be there, but only in regards to the future of content creation. Politics and economics aren't what I am here for.
@dalz(81)· 2361d
This should be interesting :)

Did you hear about Steempeak already? And maybe Palnet?
