I think the key issue or topic to many on Steem is Decentralization. Steem is all about Decentralization. It is not about that money and that is where JS is getting it wrong.

JS affirming that we should vote for his sock puppet witness, means he doesn't understand what decentralization is all about.

We might not like all out witnesses but they are there based on community consensus votes and when the community is not happy about anyone of them, they are voted out. And that is the beauty of decentralization.

JS is all about centralization and any thing he is involved with after any split is going to be centralized because he has the power.

And based on his initial post and other twits after buying over Steemit Inc, what makes you believe he has a future plan for Steem aside swapping it to Tron based token and converting the Dapps that follow him to Tron Dapps.

Have you read that he offered to sell his stake to theycallmedan at a discount?

The point I am trying to make is that JS likes power, is a crafty fellow based on his interviews and post that I have followed. And doesn't cut across to me as someone I can trust.

Some of the things he wants changed will cause great damage to the community and to see that his care is about settling his friends (the exchanges) and not the community says it all about what he wants.

I believe, if you are a true believer of decentralization then you'll see that most of your assumptions are not going to pan out the way you figure because it is not about the money, it is about decentralization. And it is not about the race either.
