im sorry and no offense but reading the title made me LoL ...

when i signed up STEEM was at around USD $7 .. somewhat over that, sbd went as high as $3 i think ... and ever since ...
well ... :)

you should dig up some history on the very beginnings, the HUGE ninjamined pool that can probably regulate the price for a few years to come (which is not invested in SP and held by a very small amount of people) and in general the quaint idea that low price is gud (i think they think they are like in currency wars the size of the EUR / USD or something) but since there's nothing to export in cryptoland it's actually the other way around, people with real money wont even look at coins under $10 or maybe under $100

i dont wanna be negative and i NEED this thing to go up too, because (not that i spent more than i couldnt miss, but) i spent money i think would have been spent a LOT better on other stuff by now

this is reality and facts and by all means do NOT believe a word i say and dig the intel up yourself.
I personally feel its better if people know the actual situation instead of the propaganda b/c you will get a lot of disappointment with regulated prices and vast ninjapools waiting to be sold off

and the last thing this thing needs is an even worse reputation , in order to get anywhere the platform needs to grow and serious applications need to revolve around it

and with shady stuff around it

thats unlikely

fyi ...
