RE: Larimer Resigns from Steemit.inc DAC. Reading between the Lines...?

in #beyondbitcoin8 years ago

Fair enough, you think it's premature, I think it's the right time. We'll probably never know who was right. Certainly him staying on at Steemit.inc is no guarantee of the success of Steem (which is ultimately more important than the success of Steemit, though presently closely tied to it.) Most of Steem and steemit's issues come from the current distribution of Steem. That is changing rapidly though not fast enough for most. The majority of issues are around influence and rewards, well isn't it true that in traditional companies, the equity is highly centralised and over time it is more widely disbursed? We have felt the effects more acutely within Steemit because of the transparency, incentive structure and expectations of many. Dan's talents are wasted by working on adjustments centred upon how to please more people more rapidly. I would rather we sort that out for ourselves buy using the extremely robust, efficient and fair DPOS system he's provided :) There are many who would use Steemit without the rewards because of its utility, cost, security, efficiency but for now, I guess there are not enough of them. I hope Dan continues to innovate and build for the Steem economy, the bitshares decentralised market and for the graphene principals. His innovations protect us from the threat of other, less benevolent implementations of blockchain technology.
