 --- A GOPHER-LIKE INTERFACE FOR HIVE BLOCKCHAIN ---

STEEMIANS, PREPARE FOR HIVE!

BY: @theycallmedan | CREATED: March 20, 2020, 12:34 a.m. | VOTES: 1116 | PAYOUT: $176.61 | [ VOTE ]

First off, I want to let you know it's an honor and a privilege to be before you all. I have great respect and loyalty for this community.

I would like to thank @blocktrades & many others for stepping up to create Hive. I must admit, I have never seen such a dedicated group of talented, freedom-fighting people doing what they love. It's been an experience and has given me new wind at a much-needed time. I have great admiration for what you are all doing on your journey.

And last but certainly not least, I would like to thank you, this badass community for all the support and having my back even when things looked their bleakest. I would even like to thank you, @Justinsunsteemit, your blind rampage of our home awoken something deep in the hearts of everyone here. You've awakened the Hive.

I regret to inform you all this will be my last post on the Steem blockchain.

STEEM has died today. My fight for STEEM is over. Long Live Hive.

I come to you with my head held high, as all of yours should be. We fought a vigilant battle. Things quickly got out of anyone's hands and if it wasn't clear yesterday, today it's clear there is not even a 1% chance to reason with Justin Sun.

I was/am prepared for glory. I believe we achieved it in a miraculous way, STEEM may be dead but what made STEEM what it is will continue. There is no glory in STEEM anymore, just an empty shell.

I & several others made every attempt humanly possible, we spent too many fruitless hours fighting a corrupt battle that was impossible to win from the start.

The writing was on the wall, it just takes me a while to read it. I feel there is nothing left to be gained from the fight for Steem. Any further efforts to fight for Steem are efforts wasted to support Hive. I'm known for being very hard-headed and stubborn, and even now I know, it's time to go.

We let the world know we won't go quietly into the night, we stuck together, and here we are at through it all, rejuvenated and inspired.

Steem lost US, WE didn't lose Steem. We are walking away, peacefully.

Blockchain is simply an open-source code run by voluntarist. No one is obligated to run code they don’t want. That’s why your actions matter in the blockchain world, it’s run by free people who will turn the other cheek, in a nonviolent way. Let it be known, no community was bought here today. Quite the opposite, our community is as strong as it's ever been.

It felt weird to hit the powerdown button today, it was my first time ever doing so. My full focus will be to support Hive moving forward.

Cheers to the continuance of the decentralized dream.

STEEM is dead, Long Live Hive.

I'm there too. I want to point out that for the last 2.5 years I have posted daily on steem. I have been a social media specialist for over a decade and have been in the twitter beta, several google betas and spend time up at facebook so I get it. I want to point out that if whales would have taken 1 of their 10 votes and spent it on minnows that tried, or even divided 1 vote into 10 or 100, steem would have blossomed. If a creator could earn even $1 on a post that would be more than 99% of the platforms on the web. That is all it would have taken to drive traffic, growth and then investment in steem. I hope that happens with hive.

Great @theycallmedan, whenever the blockchain & decentralized community will be discussed in time to come among the future generations, then history will always remind the precedence of Hive and how did it forked out from Steem to save the decentralized community which was attempted to be bought by someone. The bottom line will always be that "a community can not be bought", no matter how much money you have.

@sames | March 20, 2020, 12:54 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

I both conflicted whether to power down and dump the steem or continue posting and gain post rewards and dump the rewards for hive 🤔

@bashadow | March 20, 2020, 12:57 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Sometimes people are hard to figure out, when you have a community made of of different people from all over your country it can be even harder, and when you throw a WORLD community into the mix, there is no figuring it out except that the people of the World came together to save the community they felt a part of, a community with out borders.

For many, they may have come for the tokens, but they are migrating to the Hive for the community. Our world community does not march to the sound of one man picking his nose, we march to the sound of our world heart beating with freedom from oppression of those who would blind our words and thus our world with their censorship.

@geekgirl | March 20, 2020, 12:58 a.m. | Votes: 4 | [ VOTE ]

Real Steem lives on, just in a evolved and transformed form we will call Hive. The battle hasn’t been lost. I think we came out of this victorious!

Great opportunities to create a better decentralized future where ordinary people are truly empowered and lifted up is ahead of us.

So glad to see you say this and announce a full migration to Hive! When you talked about continuing the fight even post fork, it just seemed like even a ”victory” would just lead to a redundant and unnecessary chain. With the focus, resources, and vision you’ve displayed, I’m exuberant that it’s all pointing ahead, and not backwards. See you in the Hive!

I'm really excited about HIVE... and now we have an ongoing responsibility to show the world what a true decentralized community can accomplish, in the face of great pressure from "conventional" business structures. This is not just about our community; this is a watershed moment for others to see and study... and perhaps get a little closer to realizing that "Big Korporate" (in whatever form it may take) is, in fact, NOT omnipotent!

Well done for your part in this epic rear guard action Dan.
I think with the launch of Hive we have basically outmanoeuvred Justin both tactically and strategically.
People will look back on this as our 'Dunkirk'.

While he was busy wrecking the house, we were busy building an exit.
Something he will never comprehend because he is a sociopath.
He doesn't understand the concept of a highly committed and agile 'community'.

We will always win because our community is laden with very talented people from all walks of life who share a common goal.

Freedom from controlling fuckwits like Justin.

It's not that I'm sad because you or we keep on fighting for the steem to reclaim it. It's just that it feels something in my heart leaving steem. But I'm not sad because I am here in steem for the people, not the steem alone. When the people of steem are there. I am willing to relocate with no regrets. I am so proud that I am part of the community where they show too much love for one thing.

See you there, sir @theycallmedan. Let's make @hive even better that we used to do in steem..

by the way dan, if you'll power down it means your power in hive will be affected as well?

Dear @theycallmedan

> Things quickly got out of anyone's hands and if it wasn't clear yesterday, today it's clear there is not even a 1% chance to reason with Justin Sun.

Wouldn't you think that it has been a great and well planned plot to create conflict with Justin? Blocktrades admited that they were building hive for past few weeks already. So it seem to me, that all this fight has been staged. Not that it matters any more as I think we all felt for it anyway :(

> STEEM has died today. My fight for STEEM is over. Long Live Hive.

I wonder if we will witness and large stakeholders will dump their STEEM right after airdrop on new HIVE chain will take place.

The truth is, that if old witnesses will power down right away and dump their steem - then they may damage part of Justin investment and make him lose out little bit. But it's most likely just a small % of his porfolio.
At the same time all of us, those who invested their live savings into steem will suffer the most. Our investment will be crushed, without much of a chance to do anything about it :(

In my opinion blocktrades and other large accounts, who will build their fortune on migrating community to new HIVE chain - they should wait a bit with dumping their steem tokens. To allow others to do it as well. Just my 2cents.

Yours, Piotr

Hey Dan, this is going to be a bit personal and I hope you will get to read it. I just want to thank you for everything you did for us. In my book, you were the most dedicated, tenacious and inspiring fighter for Steem, the leading Steemian honey badger. Your passion and enthusiasm were highly contagious. I am a pretty stubborn and optimistic person too but I must admit there were times where even I felt down about the happenings on Steem and in these moments, reading your post or watching a video (you know, those "good morning, good morning, good morning videos ") helped me restore my faith and boost my morale. And am I sure you had the same, positive effect on many other people here. You literally were one of the forces that made the Steemian community so united, strong, self confident and devoted. Thank you for that. I know that leaving Steem behind and moving to a new chain might feel like a sort of defeat or resignation somewhere deep inside and I have this hidden feeling too as I created (just like you and many others) a strong emotional bond with this place (btw I also hit the power down button for the first time ever today) and it a kind of hurts now but let me tell you what makes me hopeful and excited now. On the new chain, there will be nothing and nobody holding us back. Hive is where our community will have the unique and ultimate chance to prove ourselves and looking back at what we have accomplished during those years on Steem, looking at the incredible unity, passion, skills, dedication and solidarity that we have proved in the harsh times and in all those emergencies, I have no option but to believe that we can do and we will do great things on Hive. I am so glad and happy that we will have you there man.

Thanks again, Dan, for everything you did for Steem but now... long live Hive!
