For the second day running just one big story to lead on.
Steemit Inc CEO Ned Scott has released his Mission, Vision and Values statement.
And for very good measure, Ned will be making his second live appearance of the week. This time on the State of Steem Forum on MSP Waves Thursday 8pm - 11pm UTC.
This will be an opportunity for the community to hear Ned present his Mission, Vision and Values document...
Steemit Inc's Mission, Vision and Values
Steemit Inc have now released a new Mission, Vision and Values document.
In his announcement post 
Hive account@ned states...
Overall, this document exists to represent who we are and how we’re moving forward. I want everyone to know these basic tenants of how this company operates today. With greater understanding of each other, we can be greater in how we work together.
A key thrust of the document is communities...
Our vision is that steemit.com is a vibrant communities web app, expanding the boundaries of community coordination and online discussion by incorporating cryptocurrency as incentives.
Ned will be presenting the Mission, Vision and Values document on this week's State of Steem Forum, 8pm - 11pm UTC on MSP Waves.
There should be time for questions from the audience. If you would you would like to ask a question post it in the Discord chat and tag it with both myself (
Hive account@pennsif) and my co-host 
Hive account@teamhumble.
We will do our best to pick them up and ask as many as we can fit in with the flow of the conversation.
