Ok. I don't know so much about crypto (weird right?). Steem has been my first experience, and i've come to love and enjoy it. I'm just finding out now the problems with it that everyone is talking about (I read the steem2 competition you referenced).

I think when we call a place like this a community, it means that everyone is responsible for it's building and maintenance. I believe whatever went wrong can be fixed if everyone advocates for the right people to get to work. And please pardon me, but i don't think Steem2 necessarily has to be coloured a competition, it can just be another unique platform sitting on the steem blockchain. That way, people who decide to leave steemit for it are simply investors and people who remain simply chose to and are not losers, or others can run both and not be named two faced. Then everyone wins, everyone's happy!

It's just a thought, maybe i don't know enough, i'm just a minnow anyway... But i salute your courage in writing this, even though you foresaw all the blows that would come with it, lol..
