Complacency is a destroyer which we have seen time and time again in almost all industries. The community has been amazing and we've seen some great leaders pushing for this platform to become more innovative and user friendly but the looming presence of another competitive around the corner is certainly becoming stronger everyday.

We need more comms between the founders/influential players of steemit or this could very well be the start of the end. I think your concerns and feedback from other investors are all warranted. I believe its necessary to explore these pending concerns to ensure steemit is heading in the right direction for sustained growth (especially supercharging signups/onboarding!) and some direction on where the platform is heading.

I was skeptical about steemit but after 10 months being here, I'm trying to spread the word as much as I can because I truely believe steemit can be a solid house hold name in the social media space for years to come. I am just a fish in the ocean here but some of the people that I have introduced to steemit have said (Facebook, google, etcetc will come out with something like this and I'll use that). The possibility of another competitor on the horizon could be very real!
