I have always noticed this that when the price of steem is low, the activity here is also low. Lots of people simply quit and wait for when the price starts going up again. Well, that is the human nature which only a few successful people overcome. We want to be there when all is going well, when its all rosy. You might have noticed that in human relationships as well. Some 'friends' stick with you when things are fine. But when challenges come, they simply abandone you and your suddenly become an island. We need to change that, especially here.
When the price of steem goes down, I try as much as I could to acquire more of it. I increase of activity here, making more posts and doing all I could to earn more. The thing about steem - and cryptocurrencies - is that they do not announce price increase. It starts unexpectedly and runs quickly. That would not be time to acquire more. Its time to make profit by selling off some of the ones you got when the price was low.
My little advice for you is not to go when the price is low. Stick around. Make your posts, comments and engage in other activities that will earn you steem. When you get more now that the price is low, you will stand to profit when it goes up. And how about those that left when its low? Well, they will definitely rush back when it goes up. And that's the time for you to relax and enjoy your hardwork . Isn't that much better?
