Now that the manic crazy of steem has dwindled down. There is a different type of engagement and involvement that is happening.
We were waiting for SMT just like most people did. It just shows you that whether or not SMT was active, it would not solve community and governance issues if they were already lacking.
Many people read Jesta's post a week ago:

If any person had a good understanding of this blockchain ... it would be him!
Jesta completed many software projects for steem in the past. It was great to see him engage publicly with his thoughts and assessements about where we are all at.
Talking about the future development of steem is important and should be of interest to everybody!
