After considerable thought, I have come to the mind that this is an extraordinary opportunity that we - Steem - aren't prepared to seize. @starkerz well points out we have been naive, and this is more a comment regarding those with substantial stake implementing governance of the blockchain than regarding the wider community. @ned's benign neglect eased us all into complacency regarding our place on Steem. @justinsunsteemit is demonstrating similar benevolence, but he will not neglect to bring Steem up to speed and we need to make us worth his while.

I have posted today what I reckon are some things we need to do quickly to better sidle up to our new suitor, because this is a mighty attractive situation compared to what has been, and what could have been. I hope you have a gander and chime in to set me straight where I'm off course. I expect you have more to gain here than almost anyone on Steem, and could do more to bring Steem to it's fullest fruition than any other here. You have proved your competence over and again in that regard, to all our benefit.

Thanks!
