They also created #steem and Steemit.com - that's more than what I could do.

no they did not... that was a huge team and a mass of investment.

It might be helpful to consider things from different perspectives @manniman.

  1. In one sense, it is the same team, since it is still Steemit Inc. and we are talking about Steemit Inc.

  2. In another sense, it is not the same Steemit Inc. today that it was in 2016 since some of the employees changed.

Both perspectives might be valid in some sense, but I am speaking from perspective #1.

It sounds like you think Steemit Inc. was more capable when they had more money and more staff, and I think that makes sense. But given the limited amount of resources they currently have, I am personally thankful that I am able to send this comment to you, and it's in large part due to the work of Steemit Inc. and their current team.

No, you very wise, thanks for answering me.

I'm experienced in software development and see the errors very clearly. They took the risk and lost the bet, that is what I blame them for.

If HF21 would have taken to Jan. 2020.. would you have minded?

I think a lot of people would have minded since there is a lot of pressure for SMT's.

It's possible that the Steemit team is so focused on speed, that thy are willing to accept some downtime for it.

The con is that the blockchain halts, the pro is that we are moving much faster this way and competition for innovating in this industry is fierce.

This is what I fear the most. Because there is development out there, with way fewer business interests in the success of the Blockchain ( @aggroed and co.) and more personal and ideological interest (prooven). The weaker Steemit Inc. gets, the more powerful they get. So it's also a gamble, especially since Steem-Engine is running.

Whom would you like to be in charge? It becomes a problem when fast pace destabilizes the whole chain and mainly benefits Steemit inc. Does that sound crazy to you?

I'm not sure but it sounds like you think the fast pace of things, and the decisions made at a fast pace, benefits Steemit Inc. much more than it benefits other people, groups, etc. who use the Steem blockchain.

Maybe the Steem.Dao can be used for bounties during the next hardfork to reward people who find bugs?

That would be fantastic!

Maybe you can offer it as a suggestion?

No. I don't agree.

well, you have all right to do so :))
Have a nice week!
