When the price goes down, Steemians get edgy and grumpy
It's been true since the beginning of the platform...
Steemians get grumpy when the Steem price goes down and they want to "change" everything... "Tweek this and that", they suggest.
Also of note:
Steemians also get grumpy when the price goes up. All the sudden some are mad that others are earning more than some investors think they should.
A third interesting observation:
Steemians get grumpy when the price remains the same... it just goes sideways, and everyone gets restless and starts to try to figure out why and how to fix it.
I guess Steem makes people grumpy.
Here are some thoughts:
Payouts are increasing for those who are hanging around... The reward pool calculations are based on a 30 day average.
In addition, there are less people posting.
I bet many who left will be back... After they realize that nifty new token at "SteemClone" doesn't trade anywhere.
Also, this shows why we want to be attractive to people who have at least a few bucks to put in... Rather than those who want to immediately take money out.
Anyways, these are my Steem Thoughts tonight.
I figure some people just like being grumpy wherever they are, Steem or no Steem! Gotta find something to complain about, or what's the point in life? ;)
No one likes to lose money
I've been a little stuck in a hole learning how to do some basic programming and build a game, but it's pretty interesting to see the stark contrast on the platform from just a few weeks ago. I think it's got some upside and some downside like everything... first and foremost I don't mind seeing people that take this platform seriously sticking around and posting. To me, these are the people that understand the value is in the token not the USD amount. Jumping ship for a close sourced steemit clone seems kind of hilarious to me personally, but if people wanna jump more power to them. Glad to see a lot of the core users are still here though. :)
Yeah, I mean the site announces it is broken, doesn't have witnesses and doesn't trade.
It's "like" a blockchain and the votes don't matter.
I wish them well, but it's kind of funny.
"The reward pool calculations are based on a 30 day average."
I thought it was 7 days?
Okay, so... Both. I don't know how to explain it though.
The AMOUNT in the reward pool is based on a 30 day average of something. (I realized tonight, I am not sure what..)
The rewards themselves are paid out on a 7 day calculation having to do with voting stake. Geez, don't try to repeat that.
I get how it works, but I can't explain it. lol
Looks like you may be right unless HF 20 changed things.

Haha the people jumping over to Weku will be a little sore when the realise that the token can't be traded any where and even if it does get listed it will be on a shit exchange where it will be worth a fraction of a cent.
Oh and people will always find an excuse to complain, that's what humans do best.
Let's see... it says at the top of the page, the rewards are broken...
They don't seem to have witnesses...
It's a dang joke, and I laugh when I hear about it.
And their white paper is still in draft... which is probably just a rip off of Steemit's white paper. Not that I've read it.
There is really no pleasing a steemian if it goes up they focus on how little stake they have if it goes down they focus on how little the value of their stake is. lol
I'm just here to crack jokes and get paid for it, this is the closest ill ever get to becoming a stand up comedian
Down a little more wouldn't be bad for me short term. Still want to buy more...but did just get bad news about my boiler today. Thought I might have avoided a full replacement with some repairs, but no dice. So a huge bill coming my way which probably ends my chances of buying any steem this year.
BTW, not going anywhere. @pifc and the curation contest are still alive and well also. Plus the new @minnowbuilder program has kicked off nicely. Think good things are coming.
Good news, bad news... I think we will likely drop a bit more if the crypto markets don't take off soon.
4th quarter rally would be nice...but who knows if that will happen.
To see any form of price increase in steem we need the mega accounts to stop selling for a few weeks to let the slack in the market get picked up. From there if they went back to selling the same dollar value as they currently are it would be less coins and we would see a rally. This is the downside to a very centralized "decentralized" coin.
It's a double edge sword IMO. The biggest fish sell a little each day and hold the prices down without a massive new player coming in and that means the coins get distributed better over time but our value can't go up. Or they hold more coins and their power gets even stronger but the value of steem goes up. I like both options...lol.
Lol all these baby pics , so reminds me of my daughter when she was fighting taking a nap. Just take a nap baby girl it will be all right, and steem will be alright too lol. Be well friend.
Look at price. Cry. Take a nap. Look at price. Cry harder.
Lol totally, it's all good tho. Look at the beauty in the world and be thankful to be alive.

Haha! Me too, and then you try and say 'you're tired baby' and she screams 'I'm not!' Lol, nice reminder. She's seven now so a bit past all that 😁😍
Cg
Lol yea totally, my girl is 8 now, but those memories are awesome aren't they haha. And these memories we have of the early days of steem will be too. Stay awesome! is what I say to my daughter when she is being herself and even tho sometimes grumpy even today , life has a way of being awesome if you let it, even though we get tired sometimes and we keep going in our ups and downs and we cherish each day awake or asleep. Because sometimes we need to rest sometimes we need to keep going. Be well bro nice to share this moment with you.
