Sigh... It's not Ned's fault that exchanges don't bother to update their nodes, any of the top 20 (heck, any witness) can shoot the exchanges an email and get it done. Is anyone at the helm of Bitcoin? Did bitcoin fail as a project?
Ned is the CEO of Steemit.inc they're not Steem. Steem is the open source blockchain that powers all the dapps including steem.
I'm chill with bed because I know that if anytime steemit fails I can jump over to busy, steempeak, partiko, esteem, 1ramp, any of the dapps on steem. Steem development will still go on.
So again, chill with Ned. He's not the "admin". Don't blame him for making steem suck, it's kinda everyone's fault. You hold steem power right? You're a stakeholder of steem too, think you can replace Ned? Act on it. Blockchain is decentralized no one's stopping you.
It is @ned's fault that exchanges don't bother to update their nodes. They are using STEEM software and they get no support from Steemit Inc. Did you read my comment to lordbutterfly?
