That's pretty much exactly what I think..
Now the steem community needs to step up and basically grow up to really become decentralized.
would the community really step up and fill the gap which the departure of Steemit and its development team would result in? I doubt it. Also, we would lack money to finance strong API nodes, which are capable of handling the traffic. Who would operate these?
It's in our hands.
We need to self organize.. in a decentralized manner.. with the objective to somehow safe steem.
After that we can build on top of it.
Otherwise we risk loosing it..

I would love to be positively surprised. For sure, we have a strong community - but are there enough willing to invest their own money to support the network? I am not sure.
haven't many already invested?
Sure, but I guess it is always easier to convince people to invest if they get something in return. The problem with this type of services is in my view that the benefit will go to everybody - which means that many will rather hope for others to step in...
we have a reward pool.. why not use it to finance something everyone needs..?
if we loose steem, we also loose the reward pool, anyway..
or the SPS?
