Soooo many talented people use Steemit. I really hope you tap into this resource??: you know to help testing, idea generation, code building, advertising, ..shit pouring you a coffee! everybody has their special skill and can help.

If you want I can work for free remotely to help build your strategy (sound board, idea generation, models) or just work with your leadership team. Have you thought about creating work packages and partnering with like minnow booster 'áuction off work' for an upvote from your wallet for instance. Stop worrying that someone might think this is favouring/or improper use of resource. Stop trying to run it like a conventional business and converting Steem to $ to pay people - litterally just pay people in SP. Let people have regular day jobs and do this at night, like an open source, distributed company - I'm ready to sign up!

I think letting go 70% is an opportunity - time to use that super smart brain of yours and think outta the box (I kinnda think you are hence this post, but man you need to not just sell the vision but the Strategy as well). Re-distribute your Steem to people who care and are willing to work for it! rather then early adopters or bitcoin lotto dudes.

You only need to ask for help and the community will respond. STeem will rise like a Phoenix and take a fiery dump on all those who cash the personal $ vs. the dream.
