Totally agree with what you said.
I think that @ned and @dan were a really good tandem - they were balancing each other. Like greed and altruism. The only thing that worries me about Dan's new child is business model. Who is going to invest if they do not have any chance on earning with it?
Since the balance was lost in STEEM, it has become a palace of greediness. Lets see what the competitor offers.
