Its' a tough bomb to swallow @whatisnew, basically Steem INC have been growing their staff for a long time now but prices have fallen drastically because of Bitcoin and now they had to let staff go because they couldn't afford to pay them. As for the website Steem INC will be looking into many other things first before considering the site shutdown, now before panic kicks-in let me explain that the system at that stage should still run unless more cuts needs to be made turning whatever remains into only a wallet, so in other words you will still be able to use apps to create posts and earn Steem. While that is good for most it wont be for me as I dont use apps so I might have to quit for a while if it reaches that stage. Also what concerns me now is how will this news affect potential buyers...
Wow! I am still in shock. I don't use apps either. If I was a potential buyer and heard this news, I would probably run the other way. I sure hope things get better sooner than later. Thanks for the info @simonjay! : )
Yea I do wish developers would understand that not everybody uses apps I have friends that use apps for doing many things but most will admit for "work" computers still best. Thanks for sharing and those are my thoughts also. Its tough @whatisnew we have to be aware that while its been holding we might be far from the bottom which is scary but if this goes there and turns around it could be a game changer for those who are willing to really risk alot.
