Right, there isn't almost any need currently for users to have much power. For gaming and posting a lot of comments there is. For posting a few blogs a week and 10 to 20 comments a week you need probably less than 15 or 20 Steempower. To game and do lots of actions on the blockchain you need a lot more than that.

SteemitINC isn't doing almost anything to advertise why people should use the blockchain, or for projects, or dapps, or videos, etc. They could easily make the price of Steem go up if they were organized and have lots of users coming in(that creates buy pressure). When people are buying Steem because they need it to interact more, that's what we need to drive the price up. Nobody really knows about Steem in the crypto world and that's the fault of SteemitINC for not advertising/going on podcasts to get the word out/being a presence on social media/etc.

A ragtag bunch of random users on Steem are not going to organize and start a huge advertising campaign. Everyone talks about doing it but they never do. Sad to say, JerryBanfield was really the only one doing that.
