Hey @sn0n, I understand your point of view. For me the team is great minus the development, they must be having their own reasons to make that decision and I respect that. 1Million SP might look small today but just imagine when STEEM was around $7. It would have been worth a lot more then. xD So I get why they are in a slightly better position on STEEM as compared to on HIVE. But I am still not sure if that is going to help them progress looking at their development track record.

You are absolutely right that we are far from decentralization on both the blockchains but at least on HIVE I can see people who would love to achieve a decentralized society. We all are working towards that and hopefully it happens someday. ;)
