That's a great recap, Luke!

They've been working to build the most active blockchain on the planet. That's the reality.

Yes they do. I think the developers panel made pretty clear that a lot of us had to adjust their view on a couple of things. Also it was a great chance to exchange different points of view and I'm quite sure that while we learned that they're the busiest people on Earth, they understood our need for more communication. The fact that Ned published another blog post right after Steemfest (two days ago), is a good sign in that context :-)

PS: It was a huge pleasure surfing with you and I definitely hope that Steemfest3 will take place close to a surf spot :-) See you around!!
