#steemhostiletakeover

And..... back to Vietmeme! #steemhostiletakeover

We're going into week 2 of the #steemhostiletakeover. I was going to start my meme war yesterday, but decided extending an olive branch on the day both huobi and binance did a full powerdown would be a good chance to give the man a least one out of the situation. It can be hard to back down when there's so many angry people shouting at you. I'm going to continue extending my offer to help him get out of the mess he, ned, and the exchanges created. I'm a reasonable human being and will help him navigate backing out and making amends for the damage he's caused (and the laws he's likely broken). This is an important part of SAVING STEEM!

That said. I don't condone holding the steem governance hostage or making demands while he's doing it.

Two town halls ago I asked for people to help construct some meme templates. My goal wasn't to figure out every good meme that should be written about this "fiasco" but I wanted to make sure there are ample templates that Steemians can use to help highlight the situation.

I present user created templates below. Thank you to the audience for your work and I can't wait to see the creative potential of Steemians unlocked into the twitter sphere to take our case to the general public.

comical is good toxic is bad

Poloniex, huobi, and binance colluded with Ned and Justin. We need to keep the pressure on them. They post things daily to help stay relevant. It would be helpful to all of their readers to know that they facilitated the steemhostiletakeover and their actions allowed the ONGOING hostile takeover. Despite having taken 2 steps (stop voting and powerdown) to withdraw from the conflict they're still responsible that we're in this mess and into our second week of it.

We're looking to keep the hearts and minds of the cryptosphere thinking about this so that there continues to be pressure on Justin, the exchanges, and Ned to stand down and stop holding our governance hostage.

Anyway, there's some good things in here you can use to spice up your posts. Should be fun!

Do you really think this is necessary? This clearly shows what kind of guy you actually are.

The Tienanmen Square illustration sums all of this up perfectly... :-/

I'm going to continue extending my offer to help him get out of the mess he, ned, and the exchanges created.

The first step to helping, is to admit that the witnesses are also to blame for this mess. If they hadn't implemented the softfork, none of this would be happening right now.

The witnesses are behaving like the playground bully who punches a kid, then when the kid brings out a baseball bat, they all start crying no fair!

We need to put all this behind us, I think we need an outside negotiator to help, or Steemit and probably all the associated d'apps will die.

Pleaseeee stop the joking. Do you have any idea how to survive steem block chain without big investor like Justin?

I agree, if he wants out I endorse that, if he wants those sock puppets, this is war
@rentmoney(77)· 2360d
I'll provides some meme but in reverse of what you asked, hopefully they bring a slight smile on some faces to help ease the seriousness of the current situation.
@jrcornel(82)· 2360d
I fail to see how encouraging memes (that are mostly insulting) about the situation is going to be a good way to keep the negotiations going?
@drakos(70)· 2360d
I wouldn't get my hopes up with the exchanges yet.

Hopefully, the STEEM community and TRON will reach a consensus in an efficient manner. If they fail to reach an agreement and it poses potential risks/damages to STEEM users on Binance, we reserve the right to take corresponding actions at the consent of our users.

i.e. they reserve the right to vote again!?
@chesatochi(73)· 2360d
A lot of good memes on this list!
@hans001(59)· 2360d
There are sockpuppets but what about the rpc server? Is that one also compromised?

To be sure use another rpc server as steemit.

It's almost the 10th.. everyone hope that I'm winning that lottery... I will bail us out with that cash. 😉 because I will believe in steem and want to work out a fantastic idea I have.
@masterthematrix(61)· 2360d
I think in this situation, that Justin Sun aka Tron should sell their Steem Stake thru a public auction. After Justin Sun bought the Ninja mine Stake and didn't even understood the Steem mechanics, community or agreements I think he should just admit it was a bad decision and try to sell the ninja stake in the best possible way. He could advertise it that Steem becomes more decentralized by selling the Stake to private investors who believe in the new course of Steem. I hope that we see something like this otherwise we have to deal with reckless dumping or another big investor with bad intentions.
@udabeu(72)· 2360d
I wonder if he may be a sockpuppet himself.
@cryptobrewmaster(71)· 2360d
hilarious

@justineh(72)· 2360d
Does this mean you will continue to work with him and Roy to present documents behind the witnesses backs to exchanges? Is that the “giving him an out” you’re discussing?

As it’s hard to keep track with all your back and forth flip flopping and public statements painting yourself as a victim in an attempt to gather support.

I mean.. on one hand you are actually taking orders from him, and on the other working to file a class action lawsuit against him.. is your ego so huge that you actually think you will win that game? Because I’ve seen you do it before.. and it ended up just hurting the community, like I assume this will as well.
