I think that viewpoint is across the board.

Personally, I was encouraged when Steemit Inc laid off 70% of their staff. The negativity peaked then but, what I found encouraging, is how the community of developers stepped up (along with others). This showed that there was the talent here regardless of what Steemit Inc did.

The fact that they got their act a lot tighter in terms of communication and fulfillment of projects only compounded the push forward.

The next two years will be a lot different from the past two.
