Thanks for pointing that out. This nonetheless ties to comments regarding the need for improved direct engagement with the user base: for example, there's no mention of the participation in the conference

All of the above. The nonexistent representation at notable crypto conferences such as Consensus is perhaps indicative of a lack of willingness by Steemit Inc to stand up to thorough scrutiny from the

All good. Just pointing out that similar questions are being asked by some in the EOS community as well. And rightfully so, considering the precedent set on Steem with the current governance structure.

Great post. I just wanted to add that I see this as potentially being an issue with EOS as well. The Witnesses on Steem are essentially synonymous with the Block Producers on EOS. I don't see much discussion

His senseless and sensationalist technical analysis via posts made multiple times a day gives traders that successfully and objectively assess price action a bad rep.
