Excellent article. I agree that we need to be frank about a few things with ourselves here. We were WAY ahead of our time. We as a decentralized company did not do enough to create a foundation or centralized wing to guide the decentralized company at times it would need. It has been an interesting experiment in a DAC - a TRUE DAC - and how it could run. We need to realize that there needs to be some groups here that work as teams to move the project forward. We have been doing that for quite a while, but it takes time to get momentum. The recent bug with consensus and now this node "issue" highlight the need for legal response, organized porting of code, and marketing/branding/damage control.

It is up to every single Bitshares holder, hodler, and enthusiast to ensure the survival of the best blockchain out there.

@kimchi-king, you are one of those that works hard for the cause - you have my salute sir!
