Price for sure, but may I ask you who will pay the cost of servers, developers and marketing?

Which devs? What marketing? Who pays anyx.io, minnowssupport, pivex and other public nodes? Who pays steempeak, busy esteem and other frontends?

You're absolutely right that steem desperately needs an vaiable economic model (ads, financial services, gaming?) but it can't be a single person that can pull the plug at any moment.

Who will replace steemit inc.? There were 7 people.

Do you think they quit because of the soft fork? Is this why they also voted for the old witnesses yesterday?

You didn't answer my question.

They are still here. They just don't work for Steemit Inc

I'm sure they are. But who will pay them salaries?
There are no more millions steem to dump from steemit accounts.

I dont know, I wish Sun didn't buy steemit so the devs could still work.

Nobody in tech is irreplaceable

That's true, as long as you have enough money to pay them.

Marketing is clearly not in the stars for us, there are a lot of coders here that are quite capable, cost of servers is not a problem.

All three maters are a big problem. We'll see who's right.
