If you feel the need to delay it, then I trust your decision and support it. I have been thinking a lot about what all is needed for a project of this scale (with a long term target) and I have come to realize the enormity of this undertaking. People might not realize it but a lot of work and preparation is needed for this and therefore extending the start date a little bit further will probably not be a problem for those interested in the long term goals of your vision.

We also need to understand the importance of not just posting and writing but actually adding value. I see that some people treat steemit like an ATM and this is harmful for not just the platform but their own personal growth here. Shortsighted value extraction is not what we need here and the only way to counter is to continuously create content of value and raise the bar.
