RE: Your stake in Steem on centralized exchanges was just used to take over the Steem Blockchain

in #steem5 years ago

The thing I don't understand is how they got to more than 200M SP support for their witnesses. Or am I not reading the numbers correctly? Steempeak ( https://steempeak.com/me/witnesses ) shows that their witnesses got 208M Steem Power support. But the account which all Steemit, Inc. accounts and some exchanges ( https://steemd.com/@dev365 ) proxied their vote to seems to have only 106M Steem Power. So how did they get to 208M SP?

Sort:  

It's the STEEM that customers have in their accounts at Binance, Huobi, Poloniex, etc...

The Exchanges are using their own customers funds to upvote the Witnesses.

And that's why you should have been using DEX all along instead of these scammy exchanges.

Binance, Poloniex and Huobi have powered their customers' funds and proxied the voting power to an account owned by Justin Sun, as can be seen here: https://steemd.com/@dev365

But the total amount of STEEM held on those three exchanges is about 44M as can be seen from this report: https://steempeak.com/hive-133987/@penguinpablo/weekly-report-how-much-steem-is-stored-on-the-exchanges-february-27-2020

Somehow the math doesn't add up. It doesn't get the @dev365 account to 208M SP.

Having 44M they could be able to take over permanently and then remove the soft-fork allowing Steemit inc adding its 80M.
After that they can actually do anything, even creating 1000M extra out of the air.
