I personally think that what @pharesim proposed or some variant of it is very much win-win, as I pointed out in my own reply.

Once the ninja-mined stake (which I point out elsewhere, he paid very little for anyway) is redevoted to ecosystem development and taken off the table, a few things happen:

1. He has no direct costs to incur for all of the promises he made in the post above (development teams, new features, user experience, marketing, etc.), since the ninja-mined stake would be paying for it.
2. As buyer of Steemit Inc and steemit.com he is the owner (and, once more, at a very low price) in the largest and most important business in the Steem ecosystem. As Steem grows due to the successful efforts in his post and #1 above, Steemit Inc is likewise positioned to increase its user base and asset value (domain, user traffic, eventual reintroduction of monetization in some form, etc.)
3. He likely owns significant Steem stake apart from the ninja-mined stake, which will increase in value.

Rather, by focusing narrowly on the stake (even to the extent of lying to exchanges in order to trick them into helping him remove it, before even seeking to engage with witnesses or stakeholders on the matter, or responding to communications) is:

1. Showing us by his actions that he is most interested in quickly cashing out the stake than working to increase the overall value of his Steemit assets, even if his words say otherwise
2. Damaging the value of the his assets (for example, he has already lost the entire dev team, which resigned due to his actions) and damaging or destroying his reputation and the goodwill of the community which could be harnessed to his advantage (or, indeed, to build greater value for all of our advantage).

It isn't too late for a different course, but every day that goes by with the present "our funds" approach, more damage is being done to everyone (lose-lose).

The small stakeholders opinions shall be taken into account as well, even when they may be different to the views of the large stakeholders.

I would agree on that point. As a large-ish stakeholder I have large votes when it comes to that but I also seek to listen and learn from everyone regardless of stake. Mostly in these discussions I don't pay any attention to it.
