I agree with you 100%. When CEO's sell it's usually a sign to sell yourself. The circle jerk game is still going on and the whales are still very much in charge. I remember hearing aggroed (sp?) on a podcast telling someone how great the steemit blockchain was when he mentioned how less than 30 people controlled the majority of the currency. What kind of an outside investor would go for something like that? Steem may rise if cryptos as an aggregate rise as well but if the overall market goes down there really isn't anything in the way of steem becoming demonetized which is what seems inevitable. Maybe the devs might come up with something to save things, one can only hope...
