I was just commenting on this on another comment :)
Steem has proven quite resilient to key person risk. @dan left earlier in the year and there has been continuity with the other developers.
There are however always ways we can strengthen our processes to make them more robust.
Thank you, that feels reassuring! I thought that this was the case but it is always nice with confirmation!
That's my opinion anyways, it seems more robust comparing to other currencies and it's probably related to the governance structure and witnesses which are a strength of steemit.
I agree, the witness system seems to be a brilliant idea that provides long time stability.
