GRUMPY cat has to be berniesanders.. I'm sure there will be changes coming to the BETA platform. Unless there really is no plan for the next stage. Upvote bots are my only avenue squeezing out some profit. Unlike some dolphins that were smart and got into the game, I started from 0. I'm doing ok, but that's only because of upvote bots.

hahahahahaha yeah you're probably right.
i don't think there is much of a plan, honestly. there is basically smt's and then...i dunno. It's hard to even find info about the next hard fork, and any plans for any future hard forks. We basically have these 20 witnesses who get to run the show, which is fine, but they seem either very quiet or very uninterested in any significant changes to the platform.
The Witnesses seem too busy promoting their own projects to even address substantive questions about the foundational underpinnings of the blockchain and oft stated ideas about enhancing the user experience on Steemit to discourage reward pool abuse.
Take for example the broken peg of SBDs to the US dollar. The market has clearly demonstrated over the past two months that this peg experiment is nonsensical in light of natural supply and demand pressures, yet when I asked two prominent Witnesses about it I didn't get a response as to what the next steps are to address this.
yeah i wrote a post that discusses this - there never was a 'peg' and the whole concept of sbd is highly questionable to begin with.
The peg is nonsensical in every sense. It's unfortunate that the powers that be haven't properly represented the nature of SBDs. The marketing of the blockchain is entirely obscured by evident branding discrepancies like this.
SBDs are likely in demand due to their impending correlation to Smart Media Tokens. Per the SMT white paper: "Initially smt_creation_fee will be set to 1 SBD and no means will be provided to update it."
