I have read a comment on the Steemit official blog which the guy just wrote: the problem is poor people in developing countries who are selling their steems, withdrawing and they are the reason why the price is going down!
first of all what is the point of this blockchain and this system, this company which shout out: your voice has a value! you will get paid for the works you are doing! this is better than other platforms and bla bla, and all the people listened to these words and joined steemit, to post their valuable contents and getting paid for it and withdrawing! either, what is the point? are they here to fill someone else's pocket? keeping for whom? while the big ones are cashing out easily!
anyway, I just mentioned that for people who think like that guy, either it is okay for long term and short term path, there is no rule to take control over anyone. everyone is free to do what he/she likes to do.
