Interview with Luke Stokes Managing Director at FIO
About this episode
Luke Stokes, the Managing Director of FIO, sits in with today's DIVI podcast co-hosts Steve McGarry and DIVI CEO Geoff McCabe.
Luke Stokes talks about Steem’s takeover as Justin Sun's Tron Foundation bought 20% of its total token supply last February.
Stokes explained that Steem is a delegated-proof-of-stake blockchain where tokens may be used to vote for governance. Steemit Inc.'s original consensus on its ninja-mined stake is for these stakes to be for specific categories in promoting the network and not to dominate Steem.
Stokes mentions that though Sun bought a part of Steem's token supply, it does not mean he runs the blockchain. Major developers and stakeholders also had a lot of questions that needed answers, Stoke says.
Stokes also mentioned a controversy on non-distribution of these ninja-mined stakes to its account holders. Other disputes include censorship and blocking of members.
