> ...although i know you took some of my positions a bit off putting, I hope you know that I just want what is best for the community of people that invest their heart and soul contributing here, no hard feelings brother.

Absolutely not, not hard feelings at all. I thought it was a great convo. The only thing that was disappointing to me was that more people didn't join in, which I suppose gets at what you're talking about in this post.

And with this I 100% agree with you. I know there have been a ton of initiatives to spark discussions and some that were even really good with lots of people participating, but the reality is they're almost all fruitless. The thing a centralized system is really good at is an organizational structure, but the truth is on this platform we really suck at converting enthusiasm into valuable work.

When someone like @therealwolf makes an awesome dapp like steemapps, that's great, but he did that by himself as far as I know. The real power of a community is being able to organize work, skills, incentives, and turn that into some common goals met that would be impossible with just one person.

A small startup might have 40 people all organized working on one thing, and being paid for it a fair amount to hold the structure together. I worry, is that even possible here? If we can figure out a way to do this it would be insanely powerful. 

There are people here with money and wealth, there are people here with skills and experience in different areas, but the wild wild west nature of crypto makes it hard to create organizational structures I think. Anyway, that was rambling. I agree with all this :D
