Oh dear Mr Buggyman. You are leaving at the bottom - again.

What you don't seem to get... Steem can not fail. For the fewer people who post, the more the posters make. The lower the price goes, the harder the whales work. And economics 101 tells us that higher rewards bring people back.

Our friend in the armour looks at other currencies. They are years behind Steem, are used by a fraction of the people, and offer Average Joe no chance of mining. Steemians here mine through their stake and effort.

And assuming that SMTs are possible - every community on the planet will be able to set up their own currency to encourage communication, socialisation and creation.

The guy in armour was accumulating Steem 9 months ago at $1. Now we are at $2. How could any reasonable person not be happy with this? In 9 months time it will be $4.

Sorry to see you go B.
