Is there a reason for the blackout in communication from everyone at @steemit?

• It would help if at least you could make a public statement @andrarchy.

• It would also help if you could discuss the Power Downs by @ned and @steemit.

Otherwise it will look like the @steemit team is abandoning ship, without informing the Steem community about it.

I personally would be happy if @ned is using his funds to start Destiny, a Steem-based Dapp that offers SMT's and equal votes for all of it's users, and is based on verified identities as opposed to anonymous accounts.
