I understand your worry but I also want to put in perspective: even if development stopped communities would survive and apps like Steemmonsters would still be able to grow and become bigger and more succesful than they are now.

Second, if you look at @ned's latest post: in 4,5 hours he will do a livestream - if you have some questions you can post them in the comment section and he will try to answer them during the livestream. I'm going to tune in for sure to see what I can learn from it :-)

And yes, I agree, the coming days and months we'll see how much we are able to achieve as a community. For me the challenge Steemit Inc is how they are going to invite us in and how they are going to let us help them ;-)
