RE: No. You do not own Steemit, Inc.

in #business8 years ago

"They have no obligation to the community or to SP holders."

Actually, they do have obligations to the community and SP holders. They chose to take on the burden of those obligations when they made promises at events like Steemfest or when doing interviews on various talk shows in the cryptocoin community.

Without the community Steemit Inc would be nothing more than two guys without a penny to rub between the two of them. Real investors have put real money into the Steem ecosystem based around the promises of Steemit Inc.

I get that you want to give @ned & @dantheman a little slack but let's not pretend that investors don't have every right to try hold their feet to the fire too.

It's a symbiotic relationship both parties need each other.

Sort:  

Making a promise In a public forum is a valid form of obligation, but that is something very different than needing to do what we say, simply because we have invested in the platform. Holding someone to their word is something different, and I would agree with doing that.

The problem lies in some of those promises being very vague and open to broad interpretation. I'm looking forward to seeing a road map so I can set my expectations properly. I believe one was promised by the end of the year during the Steemfest talk?

But yeah there is also a lot of arm chair quarterbacking going on and it's obvious @ned and @dantheman are at the very least listening and taking action.

I concur with both of your points. Cool avatar btw :)
