Steemit Inc is basically just 20% of STEEM supply + a group of excellent developers who are extremely familiar with the code and technologies that power STEEM. You are right to be optimistic. This community has seen massive drama and problems and it has prevailed so far. I honestly can;'t think of a single blockchain project that has been more resilient.

Who knows if this might lead to interoperability with tron. That can be massively powerful.
