Without communication you are going nowhere
But is their team large enough to deal with PR right now? They have a deadline before it all goes to hell, you know.
They are the largest stakeholder on the blockchain and so they should be using it to progress the chain and add value.
He specifically posted about how selling STEEM isn't making them enough money to sustain development, which is why they're reducing costs and rebuilding the infrastructure in the first place. "Having money" doesn't mean "having enough money".
He also said that there were plenty of reserves and that the selling of STEEM wasn't necessary to keep running the company. All of which is fine and i can totally understand them restructuring and adapting to the bear market. I even think that the bear market has been great for the chain and people who have taken the initiative to be better and do more. It's great to see the reaction we have gotten lately from the community as a whole to build a better chain.
But as the CEO of a company involved in large scale development for the chain it is disappointing to see that they are not trying to let people know what is going on in their world. Especially since their company is directly tied to the value of the STEEM token. It doesn't take a PR team to do ti. Just 15 minutes and a keyboard.
If he types a post in 15 minutes and it ends up looking awful, either because of bad communication or misinterpretable news, it could make things worse instead.
