What if the community will not like to pay developers the amount they need ? Will we be able to find the right developers who are ok to work for an idea ? It's a big risk. That's why if you have a problem with one person doing everything, you may have to talk to him, but not me. I'm just sharing with you what I know. And what I know that without the foundation we will be all screw up. Unless you are sure that other developers are ready to do all their work. For me a working blockchain is what I would like to see. And if we have a choice between complete decentralization without any development, and some centralization with development, I would choose the second. Because I don't see any blockchain fully decentralized. There are always some people on the top. Especially with the system of proof of stake.

Part 2 - The Real Threat of Community Hijacking
I think people don’t like the lack of transparency for what is supposedly a blockchain at least somewhat decentralised platform. The idea is the community runs it to a large extent I guess if they drive it into the ground they drive it into the ground. From what I’ve seen when peopel are given freedom they tend to behave better and do better. Over on steemit now it feels a bit like a ship without sails but communities are building and I never see any issues there actuallt everyone just gets on with their own thing rly. Maybe I miss a lot but I don’t witness it. People don’t like being backed into corners.
I worked for someone once and he never rly told me what to do and gave me tons of freedom I gave sooooo much for that company I worked way over promised hours and was focused on building it all the time cause I felt like part of the team. Even now I’ll be always considered for any project that guy works on and I would do it in a heart beat cause even someone like me that can’t handle a job job can work for him. He just trusted people to do their thing and if they wefe rly bad told them to leave lol. It worked amazing well most people rly gave their all and more. You might be surprised how everyone might step up to the plate if they felt free. Personally I wouldn’t stand with a foundation that doesn’t allow the community to know anything / vote on anything / have any say or any idea what money is being spent where. I would rather sink a ship actually and at least have the values and morals that blockchain is meant to be, cause the ship is sinking with them as they are. If the foundation can change and adapt and start to behave more like it runs a blockchain platform rather than a dictatorship sure that’s the best option of them all.
I also hope for the best for this blockchain. And who knows, maybe because of this situation we will see more steem forks. Competition after all creates better product !
