Haha, thanks for the flowers - you're sweet! I'm actually fine with my current job and don't even aim to be head of something, it'd be just great to team up with some volunteers and launch a fancy marketing project.
It does indeed work, but the product has to be solid first.
IMO there is no reason to wait. The product will never be perfect, but more and more competitors are entering the market now. If we wait, we'll completely miss it to position Steem accordingly.
In my eyes we already have a great product, we just need to stop living up drama and get to work.
