Youre wrong. Ive listed at least 15 of them from the top 50 that performed worse. Im not going to waste my time trying to list them again. Its somewhere in my posts, the exact percentages i pulled.
It might be the worst performing token you followed but its hardly the worst performing token.

they would no longer be in the top 50 then, if it performed as poorly as STEEM.

Yes they would. I tracked the drop since ATH. Steem is hardly the worst performing token.
Any token can be the worst performing one if you pick the exact worst time from which to track it but thats disingenuous.

I choose the ATH and from that point its hardly the worst performing one.

No amount of powering up is going to multiply your STEEM holdings by 10x-100x.

Why would anyone assume their holdings will multiply 10-100x? Thats a foolish thing to expect. All your complaints are complaints against the alt market.
Steem is in no way performing worse then majority of top alt coins. You name Bitcoin and ETH as if STEEM was ever even close to their name recognition and their shill army.
