It is a legitimate question.

When Crypto goes / people seem to stow their questions and enjoy it. When crypto goes \ the doubts start to surface in our minds and we tend to vocalize them.

Now that it is going \ I am seeing many posts/discussions about SMTs, popularity score algorithm, reward pool and bots. So I am not alone in wondering.

I am of the opinion that in a community as active as this, @ned would be like a referee if he said anything specific (IE no matter what it was, it would piss a group of people off.) If they are hard at work hammering out the next release instead, then that would be good.

If also don't like IFs either. I am sure others don't if they count on the STEEMit business income to pay some of the bills.

I suppose it is a wait and see while watching the transparent actions of the whales on the block chain for overall sentiment and premonition.
