Hi @apshamilton, bmanmcfly

But it hasn't and is now focussed on bringing down costs of full nodes and core blockchain development

I completly agree with you. It has been one week only since one bad news ha been announced and many are already coming to crazy fast conclusions. Many things may change within next months if not weeks.

We're facing some real challenge and the fact that development of Steemit is being pushed and focus is on cutting cost doesnt mean that Steemit is done.

Why can guarantee that similar issues with high costs will not be a common problem of other apps?

Yours
