Thank you for the update @ned, I also believe that Steemit will go on... we have a great community and, like Bitshares, Steemit will prevail.
I am also sure @dan will go on to do great things for the blockchain environment, so this could very well be a win-win situation.
Cheer up, tomorrow would be a new day!
Let's hope we can recover and this isn't the final chapter. I'm very sad for the fracture. And I'm really let down by the whole community management aspect, experimenting and all, this platform has degenerated from a place where freedom reigns and communication breathes, to a bunch of kids running around posting memes.
Release the flood gates,
