You can believe what you want but there's one point that I have to correct you on: @roadscape and his team pushed out the "long anticipated updates" aka communities. He worked his ass off for them and no member of the Tron team or any other team with the exception of core developers, open source developers and witnesses contributed. The regular users of the Steem ecosystem did more for the "long anticipated updates"when they provided feedback and tested functions. As I said, believe what you want, but the truth is absolute and that truth is that the people who actually did the work deserve 100% of the credit.
Not saying they don't man. Think of it this way. All the awesome dudes working for steemit inc got rid of a big weight on their back in Ned, and gained an incredible amount of Job security throught Justin. So think what you want.
I don't know about job security, but they did get rid of some dead weight absolutely.
