SOS Daily News : all you need to know about the State of Steem @ 11 December 2018
As Britney would say... Oops he did it again.
Ned was a no-show for his resheduled livestream on Tuesday at 5pm. I guess he is still ill, or busy, or just plain forgot...
Alas none of the remaining staff at Steemit Inc HQ thought it worthwhile to post any sort of apology or excuse for the waiting crowds.
As we would say in Wales, "There's communication, i'n it..."
Or perhaps they just don't give...
Despite another rerun of 'Where's Neddy?' Steem and SBD are slithering about around the same price as yesterday. But they do look like they could slip at any moment.
A bit of action on the witness front. Alas @swelker101 and @isaria are taking bow out with the @steemcreative witness on cost grounds. Hopefully not the first of too many for that reason.
And Pedro is relaunching his @prc witness as the new @dsound witness. Good move I say.
@dsound would be a most appropriate home for any witness votes that were previously with @steemcreative. Both are very keen supporters of the Steem music community.
And the token race is hotting up. Hot of on the heels of @fulltimegeek, @shredz7 announced the steem-state token system today.
If any of these community driven alt-tokens gain traction, then Steemit Inc's SMT offering could end up being the sad chicken that didn't cross the road in time.
If you want to catch a bit of witness action today @shadowspub is running here Witness Chat in Rambling Radio at 5pm UTC. And on Saturday @aggroed is running his Steem Witness Panel.
In between those two we have the first State of Steem Forum on Thursday 8pm - 11pm UTC on MSP Waves.
The team behind the forums - @pennsif, @llfarms, @paulag, @teamhumble and @imacryptorick - have already managed to bring together a terrific group of steemians to give their views on the current issues.
So far on the guest list we have @aggroed, @anomadsoul, @crypto.talk, @exyle, @fredrikaa, @hr1, @imacryptorick, @llfarms, @nathanmars, @paulag, @shadowspub, @starkerz, @taskmaster4450, @themarkymark, @therealwolf and @yabapmatt.
Taking part in the audience chat we should also have @acidyo, @crimsonclad, @drakos, @gtg and @birdinc from Steemit Inc.
Shout out if you would like to help or join in - everyone is welcomeIn the meantime...
Read. Absorb. Digest. Discuss. Act. Together.

Looking at the comments on Ned's post announcing the postponement due to illness... I'm not surprised he's not rushing back to do another livestream and get more negative comments. Even if he has the hide of a rhino, it's not going to have a positive effect on the price of Steem, if every time the CEO makes a public appearance people throw figurative rotten tomatoes.
I've never met Ned, and I've no idea what he's really like as a person. But he co-created Steemit and I didn't. Neither did the people who constantly have a go at him. If there's a better alternative to Steemit, they should go there! Or create a better alternative themselves!
Every now and then I hear about a fantastic new rewards-generating blockchain platform, but whenever I check it out, it seems to be either a copy of Steemit or a get-rich-quick scheme for the founders.
We're in the midst of a big crypto crash, which seems to be the result of an enormous bubble. This may have been inflated by banks and other big financial institutions chasing after Ethereum with its ICO creations. Then that went a bit sour due to ICO scams. ALL cryptos are affected, not just Steem. There is some positivity on the platform and some good ideas for moving forwards, but it seems to get drowned out amid all the whingeing.
OK, rant over. This is not aimed at @pennsif's post by the way, just inspired by the topic. I'm looking foward to tomorrow's broadcast. Great line-up. I'm sure there will be some good ideas and positivity!
It is for sure a difficult time for Ned. The problem with yesterday's noshow will be the lack of communication announcing its cancellation.
I will hold open an open spot for @ned just in case he would like to come on the forum tomorrow 😃

Holding my breath...
😃
Don't be an asskisser. The guy plays his guitar while firing people and while everything is falling apart. Obviously he is not up to the CEO roll. And steemit is not that unimportant for the steem blockchain and whole eco-system. Also steemit fall can technically impact the blockchain.
It's not about kissing ass. That's why I said:
I see what's happening now not as a failing of Steemit, but due to a crypto bubble that is now being deflated. I might be wrong. Time will tell.
Steemit is failing because it is poorly organized. That's so obvious.
So... the same would therefore go for Ethereum and EOS then? Their value has fallen by the same factor as Steem's value.
I'm not talking about falling steem value, but about failing Steem Inc. policies.
@pennsif thanks alot for mentioning my video.
