It's been 4 days since we heard about the current situation at Steem inc and a plan of action.
I'm hoping for an update soon.
There was communication by @andrarchy in his post here.
In that post he tries to explain what went wrong when Steem inc. tried to do to do too much.
What I got from it is that they tried to cater to too many users. Developers and End-users (you and me). Creating anti-synergy, or I guess they lost focus on a common goal, aka building the protocol for developers.
This was the most interesting part of his article for me:
It may seem obvious to some, but the challenge is that as the people who architected the protocol, we feel we have a lot of insights into the amazing types of applications that people can build with it.
I can imagine if you are building a protocol and you know what can be done with it but you are not seeing the community building it that you decide to do it yourself. Maybe this is how the idea of Destiny came about. I don't for sure, I'm guessing. If this is the case, I do understand it.
But things have changed now.
Steem inc. is in survival mode and a refocusing their efforts onto becoming a blockchain development company again.
But these insights into the amazing types of applications that people can build with it must still valid.
I'm hoping some of them will shared so the community can pick them up.
One new insight can spark lots of new ideas
