Steem is facing difficult times.
Steemit Inc has cut staff and is pulling back to let the community take on a greater role in the running of the blockchain.
Steem is teetering at #50 on CoinMarketCap.
Action is needed. Ideas are coming forward. Communication is paramount.
I am starting this daily update to bring together the key data, the most important information, the best ideas and the critical calls to action.
Read. Absorb. Digest. Act. Together.
