New discussion post - Steem Fork - Stay, swap or both?

John@jk6276.jahm (49)2352d

After the success of the last discussion post, and current STEEM events, it is probably timely to open up a new talking point now.

This one is in reference to the @blocktrades announcement - with a formal announcement coming soon. See for yourself the Blocktrades post and I'd suggest reading it is essential.

What I'd like to know is both how ordinary users and the @reggaesteem team view this development. A pretty much carbon copy of the STEEM chain, with a new name, and excluding the Steemit Inc presence and stake. Being forked and maintained by a group of community developers.

What do I think?

I am 100% in favor of this fork. I intend to move over to it and not look back. The new chain is to be called HIVE, and I can live with that. I think STEEM is now tainted goods, Justin has antagonized too much of the community for it to carry on as is. I'm hopeful that Steem-Engine and the Tribes will move (as these have been a big focus of my efforts for a while now). I don't see a way forward on STEEM as we know it, but would love to hear more official announcements to validate (or otherwise) my thoughts as to how this will play out.

@donald.porter, @miyard, @dmilliz, how do you see this panning out. "ReggaeHive" for the win, or STEEM on? Maybe both??

Thanks everyone for the participation on the first post, I can't wait to see everyone's thoughts on these new developments.

Cheers,

JK.

    Wow, this is really controversial. I see a lot of cracks in Steemit, what was initially thought to be a boost for the platform turned out to be a real mess. I think there are already irreparable relationships between the main actors in this whole problem (Witness and Justin Sun). But I don't know to what extent I, as a small (as far as SP is concerned) can participate in this, or carry any weight. These are really decisions made by the big and powerful, just as it happens in everyday life.

    There are certainly times of change coming. I hope it's for the better. Probably both networks are going to be alive, although I don't know. The future is very uncertain.

    I do not know how beneficial the change will be, steem has a consolidation within the crypto market, I do not know to what extent a new one can overcome it in the medium or short term. The truth is I have many doubts about it.

    What's going to happen to the tribes and their tokens?

    I don't know. I imagine every founding member will be riding on it, seeing where it all goes. I know there's a big investment of time and money in every initiative.

    Hi, interesting topic :D. Everyone who knows me a bit, knows that I say what I think, no sugar coating or sweet talking. Some people don't like that, but I really really don't care. I never want to be the nicest guy, but crave to be the most successful. Some thought I only came to spread fear and whatever other bs they could come up with, nothing further from the truth. I HATE what happens to the chain right now, and I don't think it is Justin's fault. A new chain is not the solution, but a panic reaction to the shit the witnesses brought upon us. Based on assumptions they freezed out a legitimate investor and top marketer. The answer from Justin is also not OK, but yeah what would you do? Protect your house or let someone rob you? I got a 9mm piece of lead if someone wants to know what I would do. I wonder how many of those witnesses will only go for the new chain, the one with zero liquidity, no exchanges, no price. How many of them will completely abandon Steem for Hive. History proves many of them only protected their assets and the assets of their staked friends. And occasionally a bone is thrown to the puppets who jump and dance for them.

    I am personally powering down to profit from the volatility on the exchanges. Much more to be made for me than writing blogs for 1 Steem. And that is the beauty of this, everyone can do what they want with their stake. Let them. I am not leaving.

    I personally would have loved to see the cross chain atomic swap solution but that is obviously not going to happen. I am for the fork/new chian but at the same time I would think it is a good idea to have a foot in another chain as that is the future of blockchain and what we were hoping for with tron. EOS may be ideal at this point. But that also comes with complications, tech and business wise regarding ReggaeSteem.

    The thing about a fork or new chain is you and I can wait for liquidity while we HODL and build but many steemians depend on steem to survive, some don't have to, they just do but there are some who have nothing else to keep them a float, but yup I agree, steem is now a sinking ship, I do not see any way to plug the holes. A new ship may be the only solution at this point.
