RE: Introducing the Steem Business Alliance
As a business ourselves, we're highly interested in the development of the Steem Business Alliance and would love to see how we can play a part in making this a success.
If we're allowed to express our personal opinion on one issue raised:
...the risk of adding centralization to the blockchain...
At this juncture, the more pressing concern is the representation of the community as a united front to the rest of the world. If anything the word that should be appropriately used in this case should be "union" rather than "centralization".
It should not be cause for concern.
Looking forward to the fully laid-out plans of Steem Business Alliance.
Thrilled to hear that you're also excited about the SBA and what we can accomplish. I'm certain that we can invite you to be part of the conversation shortly. As @starkerz mentioned, we'll just have to progress in a way that stays as productive as we have been so far whilst including more voices.
I also agree with the idea that uniting stakeholders where we have a common interest and see a common potential is when we are the most powerful and can accomplish the biggest impact. The intention of that part of the post was mainly to ensure the community that we want to do so responsibly.
Thank you @coingecko, we look forward to working with you and really appreciate your interest! We will be starting to bring new partners in over the coming weeks. We are establishing a basic operating framework so that we have some methods to our madness and community guidelines. Once we have the basis for these ready, we will bring others in and to help input to, expand and develop this.
Regarding potential 'centralisation' issue, we tend to agree with your sentiments here, the main thing for us is to start the discussion early with the community so that people can voice concerns and we can make sure they are addressed adequately by our actions.
