RE: Hive's story is strange

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

There's an entire court cases about the drama that was resolved in weeks that just went by. There's so much craziness but the timeline goes like this:

  1. J Sun buys Steemit Inc, and thus gets >50% of STEEM
  2. J Sun institutes a bunch of sock puppet witnesses and essentially does a 51% attack of the chain
  3. The community try to dislodge these witnesses, but because politics and overwhelming vote power from them they cannot
  4. The community gathers and forks to form HIVE, after repeated attempts to speak about the integrity of the decentralisation of the chain, etc
  5. Lots of other stuff happened.

It would make an interesting movie.

And what happened to the tokens that would have been in Justin Sun's account? Did he just take everything after the fork and sell it?

Thanks for explain

No, it was essentially a 51% attack on the blockchain. I have no idea what happened beyond that, as I moved away from STEEM to be on HIVE. I got rid of my STEEM tokens, and that was the end of that chapter, as far as I was concerned.
