That's right. We need to resist the urge to fix things that are not broken, for example. Change for the sake of change can be disastrous. Change doesn't always equal improvement.

Think of the postcard as an example.

It defines simplicity and economy. It works everytime. It has never essentially changed. It works.

Above is the world's oldest and most expensive postcard sent in 1840. Below is a modern postcard...still looks and works the same!

Steem needs to understand itself and its core value.

Steem does not do everything for all people, and it should never try to. Steem does some things well for some people.

What does Steem essentially do?

1. Steem provides an income opportunity for writers and miners.

2. Steem provides a 1st Amendment free speech platform.

3. Steem provides a solid investment platform.

4. Steem has created a respectful global community.

The Steem Challenge is Value

Steem needs to always remain a value proposition. How? By reducing/keeping down the costs of doing the above four functions to postcard scale and increasing the benefits/ rewards/ returns of doing those four things.
