It is a growing pain too. I remember these disturbances in early facebook days too. Steem blockchain and steemit is growing at a very high speed and some growing pain is expected . I think there is nothing to be worried or anxious of. We have busy.org dlive or dsteem to connect the blockchain. As long as u hold ur master key , no one holds your fund but you. Chill. Of course i would love to see steem without any hiccup. But hey , how will i feel how much i care for steem without this momentary disruption?
