For me hope is empty, it's only new action that creates change. I'll be here doing my best to promote and clean up this beach until it succeeds or the majority witnesses decide to move to a new improved beach.

The only thing I'd point out is that there is no precedence for this type of beach, there is no alt, there is no competition and as such we make the best of what we got (right?). I've done enough research and digging around tech side that I am aware of the challenges and personally I feel that this is and has always been the forward leading edge in reward based decentralized social media.

The rest of the field is far faaar behind and we as a community are far greater and stronger than the challenges we face and albeit the chain we exist on. That's my tough love, if you want to put it this way.

What Steemit Inc needs most right now is our love and support. If those who can't do that then perhaps this really ain't the right beach for them, they should look for somewhere else or build their own and see how it goes on their own.

The true value of STEEM is the community that use it imho. 💚💯
