Quick wins are short term thinking. It would excite investors for a while, but when it doesn't last Steem would risk being dismissed as another crypto scam. Ned is wise to go forward with a view toward the long term.
However, I would also like to know what Steemit Inc's priorities are going forward.
Focusing on quick wins does not mean that we just completely abandon long term vision.
When we focus too much on long term things though and never make any visible progress on improving the platform in ways that investors care about, then we continue to slide down in price.
I view quick wins as just smaller steps toward the same longer term vision.
