My two cents:
1. lower the operating costs significantly.
2. Get different streams of income for steemit inc to cover the costs of servers and payslips; just selling steem @ whatever price is a totally unsustainable business plan.
3. Realise that it is in fact unsustainable and act upon that knowledge.
4. Reveal an updated course and vision for steem an steemit inc.
5. Get the laid off team back on board.
6. Focus more on steem and bring in investors once SMTs are ready.
7. Create lots of collaborations with other companies (not necessarily crypto companies) Quora would be a perfect fit for example:
Quora is a magnificently brilliant and simple site, where people post questions, and provide answers to others’ questions - for free. Why not tokenize this? This site has 190 million users...
