Thank you very much for bringing this up, great comment!

Especially on the notion that value of Steem is "created" only by the buy ins of speculators. Thinking with that approach is totally unsustainable and goes completely against the potential of what the steem Blockchain can be.

Absolutely. In the end the Steem price is what defines the monetary value of our wallets, but there are many more drivers that are actually able to increase the overall platform's value (and then lead to an increasing price in the end).

Thanks for tagging @oscarcc89! I didn't write down his name during Steemfest. This story is really outstanding. If he could have paid his flight with Steem it would have been even more contributive to the platform, but I'm pretty sure that we're exactly on our way towards these scenarios.

You are the one that's awesome - it's even in your nickname :-))
Big hugs
