People will FUD no matter what he says and so whats the point. Plus its his money. If you all want to judge @ned watch what he does for the community (SMTs) and how he speaks about Steemit, defensively and with committment.
Plus he replied to @whatageek on this question yesterday.
Hey @infidel1258, I completely agree. SMTs will be amazing for the community! I'm glad to hear he replied regarding it; do you have a link to the article/section where he did? :)
I found the context:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@whatageek/hey-ned-can-you-please-comment-about-the-power-down#@ned/re-whatageek-hey-ned-can-you-please-comment-about-the-power-down-20180622t172343926z
Thanks for the link
but it still doesn't really explain anything at all, just that ned thinks the guy's content is crap. If that's Ned's way of saying that he's taking Steem out because he thinks there is a content problem, it is informative, otherwise not really.
I have done the required. Please check my artilces on Boolean.
