For starters, Ned doesn't have 25 years experience with the social Internet. He's not even a marketing guy; he's more of an idea guy, but not in the "technical genius" way of @dan.

The Steemit brand has huge value, and keeps building that daily. The Steemit Social site is the "visible window" to what can be done on the Steem blockchain. Most blockchain projects have lots of ideas; Steem has a "WORKING model." It's like a salesman-- one has a product sample, the others do not.
