It's great to see that you are putting realistic and achievable plans in place and not only that but to be fair you're trying to show more of what is happening which we all appreciate. So thanks for that.

Obviously you have let go a lot of staff which will require a re organization of people and planning which makes perfect sense in the current environment but i hope that you will consider the fact that you a have a community of thousands willing and able to pick up some of the slack from this and steem inc doesn't have to go it alone. It's to all of our benefit that the blockchain is successful and there is an enormity of talent and brain power at your disposal to further this goal.

You have said that unfortunately you took on too broad a scope and that stretched steem inc further than it could go in the current market. In my opinion the solution to a lot of this are the apps currently developing and the apps yet to come. It's my belief that the priority for steem inc should be providing the best possible platform for these apps to develop and start earning external money. Once this is happening they will be able to cover a lot of the costs of running the blockchain through either charges or beneficiary posting on the chain. There are millions to be made from running successful apps so a blockchain running thousands of these should more than be able to cover the costs of running the platform that they are operating on.

My question to you is what is your priority going forward and how can we best facilitate the creation of all of these apps in the fastest and easiest way possible.
If you can create a roadmap to this, the apps will be able to create revenue and onboard users without any help from steem inc and allow you to focus on the development of the blockchain which was the original purpose.
If you can set out a road map for this and pinpoint exactly what is need to do it then i have no doubt that there are users here willing to take on some of those tasks and facilitate and speed up the process.

We are all in this together so i hope that you have seen form a lot of the posts during the week that we want to help and to be part of the process. You might not have the staff but you do have the people so reach out and use that to all of our advantage. You have been more open with the community and we can see how much will there is among it's users to improve the system and to bring it forward. I hope you won't let that go to waste.

Thanks for reading and i hope that some people would agree with my sentiments towards working together to create a better platform for all of us.
