The real core fundamental issues with STEEM are only going to be fixed when they launch SMT's. It's clear all of the development efforts and focus is on SMT's, not Steemit or the Steem blockchain.

But the upside is when SMT's launch, people will be able to create their own steemit.com type site on their own section on the blockchain. Which means if there is an issue with Steem, someone can just create something of their own with their own token.

I have always felt as though STINC sees Steemit being nothing more than a portfolio piece they can use to showcase the power of SMT's. Which is why it feels so neglected.
