So I do look at it as an investment opportunity, and so therefore - it needs to be transparent, reliable, and accurate. If it's not those things, it undermines the stability of the platform - and that is a dangerous thing.
hope that others can be." A bit of a sad statement, if you ask the Steemians that are still here, loyally supporting this platform with time, energy and money.This topic was brought up on the Witness chat today with @shadowspub, and it really seemed like the solution was "Steemit, the original front-end and still the most popular is no longer reliable.
