There are many reasons to not trust the creators of the system at this point. Also, "beta" can't be used as an excuse forever. This isn't just some worthless coin (yet) where you can take advantage and lie to the community you're relying on to support what you build.
Totally agree to an extent. Of course this whole blockchain buzz is around not needing to trust the creators of the system, ie decentralization. So I am with you there. However, I do not really think that at this point of Steem's development this should be taken so seriously. While Beta is not an excuse that should be used forever, it certainly should allow for us to take the time to understand mistakes/lies before we judge them. We should definitely give @ned a chance to respond first. All in all, I guess our differences may come from that I may be a little more optimistic than you and I am certainly newer to Steem.

I don't think it can be used as an excuse now. iiuc, Steemit, the UI, is in beta. Steem itself is not.
Also, since when is "beta" an excuse for "i made a committment and failed to follow through on it"
