you might have spoke too soon. on the price being stable

I keep hanging on to hope thinking the same thing, but the ratio just keeps going in the wrong direction. What will bring in new users/investors?

Nothing, this platform isn't ready for mainstream, the content looks like it was churned out by high school students in the 90's on 96K baud modems.

Are you talking about the design/layout of the content or the content itself?

Have you seen content on reddit, twitter, facebook? The stuff here isn't all that bad, IMO.

I think there are some great ideas here on steemit, but the look of it is very hard on the eyes.

Gotcha. I'm a programmer, so I don't mind the layout much at all. Sites like Craig's List and the Drudge Report are horrible, but still have large user bases. If this became more well known and understood and if other social media sites kept doing things people don't like such as censorship, too many ads, etc, then this place could grow rather quickly, regardless of what it looks like design wise. At least, that's my current thinking, but again, I'm not a designer. I don't think it's all that bad. :)

Having an account that was once worth nearly 500 USd now valued at 60 that just last week had made a small recovery to 120, just kills it for me.

I guess the ratio should stabilize after the first 3 months powerdown period. Shouldn't it?

That's an interesting theory. It's better than any I have. Let's go with it. :)

Ultimately, if we don't get an exponentially growing number of people joining, it's hard toimagine a scenario where it will hit critical mass. Of those new users, a percentage will have to be investors depositing money as well.
