Being able to write Python is but a fraction of the knowledge required to effectively manage a cryptocurrency. The knowledge-base amongst Whales and Witnesses is EXTREMELY skewed towards IT and noticeably deficient in basic business management skills. I used to manage of couple of hedge funds (one a currency-trading fund) and am very familiar with the financial, economic and legal issues that will effect STEEM but which have nothing to do with 'coding.' These issues are every bit as important, if not more so, than DApps ... and yet they are being largely ignored.

Hope we can chat sometime on discord. Add to the quote something else you mention, the obsession with so-called anarcho-capitalist "rules" (or just the rules they like) and it adds up to a bleeding head banging against the same wall.
