It is quite surprising the different views that Steemians take on Justin Sun. The one that surprises me the most is the one that says that he, just like all of us, doesn't know what he will do with Steemit. Now I take it that he is nearly a billionaire, so he must have some business acumen and I don't think he is first going to spend somewhere around 20 million on something and then start thinking about what he will do with it. No I think he has a roadmap and we will be learning about it as the days go by.

And all of these posts about how we are going to make a stand because we love decentralization and will not allow that this be lost. This one is really cool because Steemit has always moved the way Steemit Inc wants it to go, that is why all the top witnesses are there because of Pumpkin's or Freedom's votes and vote the way they are told to. Now I have always thought that Pumpkin and/or Freedom are actually a part of Steemit Inc, so they probably are now controlled by Justin Sun. So if I am correct don't expect any help for your fears from witnesses.

Also remember something the last hard fork hit a lot of medium sized authors really bad they are now making less than before while the guys who now want to put up a front against Justin Sun started making more, much more. So I wouldn't really expect a compact Steemian front against Justin Sun.

Will things change with Mr. Sun at the helm? By all means he will change things to suit his aims. Will these changes affect us positively or negatively? Who the hell knows, but I am quite sure there is not much we can do about it. The other huge Steem holder is @yabapmatt according to what I've heard, but I would think he would go along with Sun, after all Tron offers a lot of possibilities for Steemmonsters.

I really don't have an idea of what to do, I think the best thing is just ride it out and hope for the best which is what I will do, and I understand the stands of some people here but I actually have so little to lose that I actually don't worry about what will happen. It does make me curious but not worried. In fact it gives me hope I believe I will personally come out better off with whatever happens.
