Steem is still one the best long term bet in crypto space. Founders leaving is a good for the project. Now the development and progress, if taken and done by community, then it will reflect true decentralization.
Our one of the major activity should be to keep promoting the dapps that are being built by so many developers.
It's good for decentralization but I wonder it's the best for development efficiency.
It will be good balance. Investors globally wants to invest only in reasonably decentralized blockchains.
