Hey @por500bolos , these are excellent questions! Although we have had an account on Steemit since 2016, you'll notice that we only became active just over 4 months ago, I believe, and made our first blog post. I'm unsure as to why the platform was not utilized since the beginning, but there are quite a few fellow Steemians that are part of the Exodus team currently who wanted to bring the page to life!

As many of us at Exodus are Steemit members, we wanted to revive the Exodus page and start sharing our content here first over Medium. Our release notes and articles were being strictly shared on other platforms, and we felt that Steemit was a much better place for them.

Why is Steem & SBD not in Exodus?
There are two main hurdles right now with implementing support for STEEM and SBD in Exodus. The first is that one of our main listing criteria is exchange support and with our recent partnership split from ShapeShift, none of our current exchange partners support STEEM. The second was integrating a DPOS asset. Since Steem is much different than a bitcoin-like or ethereum-asset, there were some technical challenges in incorporating STEEM and having it operate like every other asset in the wallet. Now that we have tackled integrating EOS, we should have more of an idea as to how STEEM would operate in the wallet.

I hope that helps explain and answer your questions, and please feel free to reach out to us if any new ones arise. =)
