I personally felt a little relieved after watching the live stream. I think they already know that the answer is to focus solely on the blockchain and not on things like marketing and improving the appearance of steemit.com. I think they realized that they need to be more decentralized in order to survive so they won't need to incur as many costs.

I too am not buying anymore Steem right now until I see what happens in the future. Time to put my energy/resources somewhere else in Steem.
