more people joining and diluting the steem pool, plus the fact that people cannot cash out of steem for 2 years (104 weeks) due to power downs. This means that steem will remain an unknown factor for ages yet.
So until the membership of steemland stabilises steem will continue to do crazy things, remember steem power and steem dollars earn 10 percent account interest that steem does not but every day you do not increase your own stake in the steemuniverse sees more of your steemit account value bleed away.
Best to try and be polite respectful and helpful here; personally I suck as an author but I do some things as Curator, plus i even sometimes help out others with advice etc. The more it help others the more value and reputation of steem will improve with non shareholders; and that folks helps all our acct balances...
