How to kill confidence steemit.inc edition

in #rambling6 years ago
Step 1 announce you had to let go 70% of your developers
Step 2 Make a stream about it
Step 3 announce a another stream but postpone it
Step 4 don`t show up at all for the next one

Steemit.inc is not Steemit. The most development came through projects out of the community.

But still I can`t stop asking myself what would happen if steemit.inc has to close its doors.

What will it do for the price? How will half informed youtubers will deliver the news to the masses?

The most videos I saw did throw steemit.inc, steem and steemit into one cup and made no difference there.

Even if @ned would be really sick there needs to be an announcement there will be no stream.

Maybe he got bold and is to emberassed to show himeself?

If steemit.inc would close their doors but the steem community would still develop, build and thrive would be a real battle test for steem which if we survive show pretty much that we can survive everything.

I have some confidence as we survived the leaving of Dan Larimer who was probably more prominent than @ned.

Even the beef they started and when Dan announced he will build a new and better steemit on EOS with blackjack and hookers.

Myself I was powering down and cancling it multiple times the last days...Sometimes even thinking about buying some more Steem but for now I think I am good.

My believe in Steemit is weakend for sure. The shitty trending pages through the shitty bots are really annoying me and sometimes I think I just delegate everything away and don`t care anymore would be the better choice for me.

But that there is still this much development on Steem during this bearmarket and low interest time for crypto that I believe we are destined for more.

Sort:  

Why more people aren't talking about this, leaves me confused.

Same here. But probably also a good reflection on how many people care

If @ned can not handle the ship, could not he sell Steemit.inc to a person who can make it bloom?

Who wants to be captain of this ship at the moment?

Oh really? Didn't Ned appeared? Whaaaat

Yep kind of sucks

i am saure, if they will close they doors, another company will buy it. I can see someone already waiting for it ;-) But lets hope for the best of the best.

You have someone in mind who would jump in though?

of course, Facebook will give a quote for it( or did it allready) , but I didn't think they will buy it. t will be someone else. Ned is not coming any more with any update, even not small. Very Sad. Even full power down he is doing... no stop on this. Bit I am not power down. We didn't need him, we can do it maybe alone or even with another one. But I am sure the SMT will have delay again now.... and with that, the Appics and all the other coming up apps...

In my opinion, Justin Sun will be a good Person for Steemit, of course TRON is a different Coin, but the Bittorrent with Tron earnings, and the community in combination maybe will be a good relation. But on the other way I think he will now buy it, to much problems here on Steemit, otherwise he will get himself more problems. More Problems, more delay in other parts of developments....

Thank you for being here for me, so I can be here for you.
Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3

Can we access our wallet on steemit if steemit goes down? The recent events definitely don't inspire confidence.

I am sure there is a way probably not with a nice graphic interface like we have here

True.

It can't get any worse. There will be wallets, should STINC close. For the blockchain it could mean a gain in decentralization. But without steemit as a marketing tool, the Steem will suffer as long as other relevant DApps don't have a large influx of users. Hopefully the Bitcoin will recover before STINC disappears through the back door. We need patience now, possibly a whole year.

I think worse is always just around the corner but it surely feels like we are laying on the floor already.

I guess that's true. But so much money has already gone out the window, the rest doesn't matter.

Why are you powering down? We all know that prices are down so steemitinc have to cut some employees just to make the site to keep on running.

not powering down... yet

Looks more clear why I didn't find a date for the re-scheduling of the livestream.

I am patiently waiting for an official statment
