What I believe is that the steemcommunity reacted to the news quite strongly. They saw this whole thing centered from a steem point of view. It's important to look at the big picture which is a battle for predominance in the crypto world between Etherium, EOS and Tron for who will have the best networks for Dapps.

The merger makes a lot of sense in terms of business. EOS will have Voice, Tron needs a social media as well. What's the biggest one out there and cheap to buy? Steemit.

Social media needs users that post stuff. Without users, social media is worth nothing at all. I'm quite confident that like dlive, poloniex and bittorent the core of steemit will not be altered. Over all I'm quite confident that the purchase of Steemit by Tron was very positive for the development of the platform and also for the value of Steem.
