Steem Inc aka Stinc may have some reasons to keep the price lower at this point. It is possible that things were heating up too fast and the system was getting poor performance on the Steemit UI because of the amount of traffic, or they needed the funding. (Conjecture on my part.) The low price lets the tokens disperse over more hands which should eventually be what we want. I hope that one day they may start buying back steem. It would be nice to see some kind of financial statement on Steem Inc since we are all kind of investing in their 'stock' in a way, (but I'm not really sure what to call steem.)
