First off, @whatsup is a lady???!! Never knew that.

I think one thing that would make investors buy and hold steem is if it gives passive returns for just holding. Delegation to bots really caught on. Maybe dapps should implement something similar. Buy Steem and hold, earn our tokens periodically.

I am a believer. My only issue is the cash to buy Steem. Living in a country where you need 350 units of your local currency to buy Steem does that to you.

Apart from that, I have no trouble buying steem every now and then.
