re: obsessing

Well, it kind of breeds and takes on a life of its own. Millennials are pretty good at it, but so are some of the 40-somethings, apparently.

re: Elizabeth Powell

I thought it was amazing that they were able to drop the monthly of those nodes, etc. from $220,000 a month to $35,000. Just with that, no wonder they were bleeding cash. Moving the office from downtown to save on rent, I think it's great. In my mind, that's a great sign of a leader, but I'm sure it's not what Powell wants to be known for. You'd rather be the growth person, so hopefully she gets a chance to do that, too.

re: what needs to be done

Well, the community needs to stop putting all their eggs in the social media basket and start coming up with other ways to connect existing business to STEEM. We keep pointing at the value and saying no one's going to want to do that, but that doesn't mean people can't start up their own businesses, and it doesn't mean people have even tried to invite business.

It's a lot of work, though, and so I'm sure there's that, too, that people are seeing. But seriously, there's no reason why whales should be hanging around the social media side of things trying to influence what happens here so they can increase their stake this way when they could be coming up with their own non-social media ideas and doing something they're good at. :/
