Powerful words Andrew!
I found the livestream of high value, even though I would have preferred it to be a bit longer and to have your voice to be more heard.
Now, I personally believe that it's important to focus on thy own strength. For example, I thought about doing blockchain development - learning it so I could be of value. But the truth is: it would be totally uneffective.
I would have to learn a totally different way of coding, which would take at least 1 year to be good enough for blockchain code.
So instead, I'm focusing on doing what I'm good at and what Steem also needs: dApps.
With that said: I think the decision for Steemit Inc. to focus completely on blockchain development is perfect and I wish you guys all the strength to pull through this time.
I know, @ned, you and the whole team - you're also just humans and it must be rough having to see 70% of the team leave.
But sometimes - rough transitions are needed to focus on what matters!
