I'm a newbie to the Steemit platform and read the white paper yesterday quickly. But I need to wrap my head further around it. I will just say that I have had pleasant and positive experiences so far from the site and the staff at Steemit.
As in any startup, part of getting there is the result of small iterations and improvements, and what's more important is being nimble at recognizing what needs to be tweaked, changed or abolished.
