Steemit Inc must have sold STEEM for such massive sums of fiat that any technical problems should've been overcome in a timely manner by simply hiring enough good people. The market cap of STEEM was billions of dollars a year and a half ago. I suspect Steemit Inc may have sold close to a hundred million dollars worth of STEEM during its existence. What kind of a software engineer can you hire for a million bucks a year? What about marketing professionals to counter all the FUD? When the bear market hit and the price collapsed, that was the day of reckoning.
