The price of Steem is going down like most Alt coins because most of the people take their money out from alt and invest in BTC also there is a big institution right now that keep pulling BTC down. This can be dangerous for Alt coins as BTC isn't in a bull run but in a shy climb with many up and downs. It is also good to look at the charts from end 2017 and beginning 2018 when bull run happen first was BTC than altcoins after it. It was like two big wave first BTC than when it goes down Alt wave arrive and for last Steem is suffering from bad management at the moment with on the top of that the long-lasting low prices of crypto many people stop posting.

Thank you very much for your explanation!
I think this will have some impact on SteemFest 4. People are losing money on their investment!

Personally, I really don't care about Steem Fest as I open the idea of Thailand long before and ask the guy for the Thai community to help in the Fest in order to get free or cheap access for the community but never get a reply from him. Steemfest is centralized around one guy and for this reason, I boycott it!

That’s what I am afraid of. It’s like a hype around a group of people who would benefit most from the gathering! Ordinary people with small SP couldn’t afford to be a part of this gathering! It’s the networking for the big fish and their friends. Everything has been very quiet! No preliminary programs, no discussion of the contents, no inputs from fellow Steemians!

The funny thing is that they never seek out the local Thai Steemians to give them assistance on the location, venue or hotels, and sightseeing programs!
So, I think this is very strange. They pay no regards to Thais and Steemian expats who have been living here many years! They only accept those who
‘Kow tow’ to them and who could be useful!

Thai Steemians would be strangers at the gathering on their own land! Very funny! They don’t know anything about cross cultural management!

This is what I say, I offer the help of the Thai community for whatever they need but no reply and after looking deeper into Steem Fest it is obvious that the guy from Holland make it all benefit his pocket. By hiring people via the hotel that will work for him. This is where I say F..k and I will not attend it. They will go to all tourist traps and will never see the real Thailand with real Thais that are not working in the tourist industry. Instead, they will fill up the pocket of a guy who doesn't care anything other than his pocket. Soon I will post about it Since day one of the community I try to get everything fair as possible for every people in the community and this kind of behavior is exactly the opposite of what crypto stands for.

Oh! Is it a good idea to make a post?!!

But I am a bit concern that some people might blame Thai Steemians and expat Steemians in Thailand for not going to the Fest! I am afraid the cost would be too high for most Thais! and the programs would not be catered with local people in consideration, as we are small fish. I think they are here for a good holiday and the chance to create more wealth and riches. I think you should not make a strong post!

Wait and see!

Thank You @kaminchan for telling me your opinion, I will follow it as I don't want our community to be in trouble because of me. I will not post and let it go so if some Thais attend it they won't be impacted in any way.
I want to ask your opinion on the contests. Today @thaiteam will announce the new photo contest because people like it but I want to run another @thaiteam contest on the side "a series of story writing contests and real-life experiences That will run side by side with the photo contests" By doing it, I hope to bring some diversity and choices for our people to have enough entertainment. The first contest is ready to launch. Do you think it is a good idea and more important do you think our people will like it?

Thank you for your comment.
The second contest sounds like a good idea. It can include actual experience, short story or fiction based on past memories and important lessons from life, it could be experiences about spirits or ghosts or angels and fairies, or unsolved mystery from life encounters, accidents or crime scene. Some people may not want to talk about real life experience as they could become very emotional.

You could say we try to experiment with this new contest for two weeks, then ask for readers’ feedback.

Some people are not good at writing properly so the contest would not be serious about the quality of written Thai language. But it would be about entertainment! Then people would become more relaxed about writing for the contest.

Hope you could write a nice and positive post about the Fest on behalf of Thai small fish and planktons.
Actually, it is also very difficult to have our own Thai Fest as most people live very far from Bangkok. It costs too much for air-tickets, hotels and meals, entrance fees to pay for the meeting! The investment does not give any monetary returns! Also it’s very difficult to make new relationship in a short time. Some people are just too selfish and stupid or proud for me to talk to, for example. I don’t like fake people who look good and sweet talk! So it is more difficult for Thais to really know foreigners who could not understand Thai culture at all.

It’s funny how most politicians try to do everything for wealth expansion and fame. They always promise the sky and take all the money from the poorer people.

Good luck.
