its quite early in the game indeed. I would go as far as to say that this whole crapshow is an overall positive event. Losing the STEEM name in the way that it happened, with the noise the whole thing created, has turned people's eyes back to the potential of this blockchain.
All that being said, the future is uncertain, and if we want to win long term, we have to start attracting the best developers in the game. Now that there's a fund to pay them with, it should be a lot easier.
And best innovators too.
