pamplemouse has a very good point - currently Steemit is at the mercy of 'benevolent dictators'. I am an early Bitshares investor and have a long history with Dan as benevolent dictator. I can tell you unequivocally that there is nothing better for Steemit than to have Dan as the biggest, baddest whale for the longest time possible. Hope I don't sound too much like a fanboy, but this is literally years of experience talking. Consensus of the majority is crappy way to run things if you want to create value or get anywhere. I have full faith that Dan will use his power wisely to support Steemit until he is comfortable it can stand on it's own feet.
