@raj808, this is an awesome post, but you didn't mention HF21. Will it save STEEM, destroy it, or be agnostic and just let it be?

I believe in the principle of buying low, selling high, but I'm skeptical that STEEM will ever get to $10 again. I don't think Steem Engine is helping the platform. It's hurting it, actually. With all these additional tokens competing against STEEM for attention, how will the value ever rise? As BTC, ETH, and all the major coins have rallied in the last month, STEEM continued to fall. Not a good sign.

There's a lot to like about Steemit, but I'm wondering now if continued investment will be futile.
