I feel what you're saying... I am thinking about putting my own small Steem project on hold... animated tutorial of how to use the wallet for new beginners... would have made an English and Spanish version as well as make the files open-source for Korea, Japan, China, etc.
But now... even if I personally knew everything would end up cool... would I get backing for my efforts? Or are the supporters of good ideas running scared?
Hard to say... I guess it all depends on what J. Sun decides to do or not do. I think most are still waiting for more clarity from Sun and co.
