Hey, @trincowski.

Wouldn't that be something. :)

Actually, though, in reading the different earlier documents and posts, it seems like things were at least conceptually there for the most part. Then, I guess, since I wasn't there to know for certain, the waters got muddied. Too much success too fast, trying to do too much, too many voices listened to, not everyone with STEEM's best interests at heart...take your pick from that and maybe more.

The fundamentals of STEEM are still there. We seem to be stuck trying to figure out what STEEM is, (or some are trying to force it to be one thing or another) when it could be a lot of things to a lot of people. I'm not so naive to believe that things will somehow work out on their own—it's going to take a probably painful, concerted effort, something that's not really happened here yet—to get where STEEM needs to go, but I'd rather work with what there is, then see it all go for naught.

That said, my loyalties do not lie with STEEM itself, or those who would make it their own little cash cow. Rather, I'm in for the world changing concepts. If that means STEEM goes down because of greed and selfishness, so be it. I can only hope that someone else will somehow get it right. I just know that history has a funny way of repeating itself over and over, and real change comes once in a millennia or two. Meaning, there's not a whole lot of chances in this deal.
