Pretty interesting what 24 hours can do.

Yesterday, I was quite excited for what's to come. But I most def. didn't expect what was announced.

At this point, I can't really tell whether it's good or not, there are far too many nuances that are still unknown.

And since I'm an optimistic person by heart, I don't want to make any rash decisions. I need to wait at least for the AMA.

However, I feel that some people didn't get the credit yesterday, which they deserved.

I'm of course talking about the amazing Steemit Inc team (excl. ned), those few individuals who cruised the ship through a heck of a storm.

I'm not saying that they did everything perfectly, but they invested tons of work, heart and passion into making sure that Steemit.com would survive and could also actually thrive.

They were so close to release SMTs & communities on our beloved blockchain, before the rug was pulled under their feed.

I can't say whether or not they knew about the deal, but based on my feeling, I don't think they did (also based on their appearance at Steemfest)

Regardless though, without them, Steemit Inc would be worth far far less. Maybe it wouldn't even exist anymore, who knows? (You could have at least mentioned them, ned!)

Anyway, I want to thank each one of you! (those mentioned above)

You're a big reason why people still had hope & faith in Steem & Steemit Inc.

You managed to keep the boat afloat in a time, where things looked rough, really rough.

And for that, I'm extremely grateful!
