I couldn't agree more @cryptoandcoffee

I see quite a bit of, not so constructive criticism towards @ned after his announcement, but it's only my opinion that people should be a bit more understanding, and grateful.

Some of the criticism is understandable, but let look at the facts. @ned is a young entrepreneur who revolutionized an idea which flourished into an entire ecosystem. In my mind, that deserves some credit. Were mistakes made along the way? Of course, in the eye's of many there were some mistakes, including my own opinion, but I don't begrudge the man, because his innovative creation helped me in a way that money alone, cannot. We need to remember what is truly valuable here, and not focus entirely on the monetary aspects.

Community is the most important aspect of the Steem blockchain, in my humble opinion, and it's only just begun.

Nice thoughts brother. It's refreshing to see so many people with your mindset here!
