Thankyou for your appreciation! :)
I have never met Ned beyond standing next to him for 2 minutes at Steemfest before he disappeared. I can see why you would think as you do here. I do give him a bit more credit than you are here and he often surprises me with the focus he does have into Steem mentally - only because the actions in general tend to suggest he has little or none! It may be that there are other forces involved that we are unaware of, such as investor pressure or other things. I certainly can't think of any justification for the financial situation though, other than an ideological intention to stay 'pure crypto' and not get involved in fiat - but that is absolutely not good business sense.
If you are right, then it is guaranteed that the 'market forces' will force out Steemit inc.
We shall see. I wish them well and hope that they realign to be optimised and effective at their stated objectives!
I do as well.
As I said, I do hope I'm wrong about the guy, but the videos I've watched that he's created haven't seemed to have much real substance thus far.
In any case, Steemit, and its' growing number of dapps, will continue on. Of this I have little doubt. ;-)
