What we basically have now is steemit inc selling their stake to keep the ship afloat which is not long term viable for their company. If steemit inc left the blockchain tomorrow I don't think steem is in a decentralized enough state to handle that and thrive. It might survive but it wouldn't thrive. Most blockchains are going to need profitable businesses backing them to thrive. Steem is not a bitcoin.
