This news marks the first time Coindesk ever covered Steem and Steemit in over 2 years.

It's definitely sad that this is what it takes to get any sort of coverage from big crypto-centric news outlets like Coindesk.

I'm still glad that @ned made the announcement though. Keeping news like that private would probably come back to bite you in the ass anyway.

I would really hate to see Steemit Inc. go under. I sincerely hope that these community efforts make some sort of difference in the end. Thanks for the support!
