RE: 'This Platform Returns Value To Those Who Create Value' - That Was The Original Idea Of Steem According To Ned Scott (Amsterdam 2016) || Are We Still Following The Same Vision?

Doug!!! First of all: Happy New Year! I know it's quite late already, but I guess it's never too late to address some warm wishes :-)

Thanks for your comment. I guess Steemit Inc. is already on their way towards a new project. Steemit.com was their testing area, and now all eyes are on Steem and SMTs. From my personal point of view that's wrong, since Steemit is the no. 1 reference for users, investors, media and competition - and it will always be. It's the store sign for Steem.

If they couldn't find enough investors for Steem having Steemit, how would they find them building some new tokens on top of Steem?

If I were in charge, I'd give Steemit.com top priority. I'd make it a shiny desirable pilot project before launching anything new on top.
