Justin's owned stake vs Community POV

It's a tough situation, and listening to Ned's interviews, he was using his psycology knowledge to create a "Non-profit" model, to create a community mindset.

It's a very effective form of "motivation", that corporations use, to get a buy-in from people who do not own the company.

You talk with open language, use "We", "community", "us", to draw in a commitment of shared value and equalness. A version of reality.

Realistically, Ned owned the original stake, found some of the challenges for Steemit way more than he wanted to deal with, and worked out a way to exit.

Without the ninja stake, is Steemit at a point where it can survive?
Has the community, and senior memebers, reached a level to move it forward?
If Sun keeps the stake and tries to command control over Steemit in a centralised way, is that a good or bad situation for the future of Stemmit & Tron in a consolidating stage of Crypto?
If Sun sells out his stake to make a profit, does that create an opportunity for Steemit to be a Crypto vehicle for venture capitalists?
