The Good, the Bad and the So-So

After recent events with Steemit Inc. and after yesterday livestream, I'll make a list of the good, the bad and the so-so elements we have.

# The Good

* Steemit Inc. kept most of its blokchain developers
* My vibe after yesterday's livestream is that Steemit will focus on the long run only on blockchain development
* Immediate focus on RocksDB will make, once completed and rolled out, running a full node less expensive, which will help others run them and will help decentralize Steem further
* **Steem community showed one more time that it's fantastic**

# The Bad
* SMTs are postponed without a clear date in sight
* I don't really see a plan unfortunately. There is a big difference between a vision, clear or not, and an applicable plan.
* Steemit Inc. still needs to cut costs, and are operating in a survival mode right now
* Steemit Inc. didn't seem to have a contingency plan for the situation when markets go south below their forecasted support; which means it's still likely they don't have one now.
* In what will probably continue to be a bear market, Steemit Inc. needs to find alternate sources of income, besides cutting costs.
* Without Steemit.com and its free full nodes and APIs, much of the blogging and social media aspect of Steem would be crippled, according to Ned (see [here](https://www.steeve.app/@gadrian/where-do-we-stand)). I'm not saying Steemit.com is a gonner right now, but we need a list of all condensers (desktop or mobile) which currently, or with minimum modifications, can operate on different nodes, even better if they are their own.

# The So-So
* There is talk about minimal implementations for tokens (certainly not "smart", and lacking many of the features promised for SMTs); in future iterations more of the "smart" functionalities would be added
* Destiny is history ("on the back-burner")
* No decision yet, but it's possible steemit.com will be phased out. Depending how it's done, it can be a good or a bad thing. There were some good suggestions from the community. This should also be done with concern to SEO rankings.
