RE: Down Down We Go – And why that might not be a bad thing
I didn't say they were not involved. I said, I wish they had a strong message of the path we are on. I said nothing bad about them at all.
What I said is we need strong leadership to carry this through Beta and further. What I mean by that is someone saying. Yes, the price is going down... Yes, we have user adoption issues, but here is what we are doing about it. A stong leadership message would be really helpful. (with a plan) Such as: We are going to add/change the following features and these are our first issues to address. With (however many devs we have) We think this might be done by this time, and that might be done by. I am not sure who's post you read. I never said, nor do I think they are uninvolved.
Right now they have the investment and they hold the Steem. That Steem will be slipping in numbers for them as much as for us. So, it is in everyone's best interest for us all to realize the potential.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I see your point now :)
Well, that does go back to my opening paragraph. I do not know their intent, nor have any proof that this is what they are doing - but at least historically they have been looking for people who found out through their own effort/understanding that the site has great potential - rather than having to be sold on / convinced that it was good. If they are following that trend, then it would be up to you to look at what you see here and determine if you think it has what it takes and is going in the right direction to ultimately be a successful project in the end.
