As @event-horizon rightly said, I think we are all entitled to have an opinion since we claim it is a “decentralized platform”. The clubs and burn initiatives are surely stabilising the price of steem but we can all agree than until we see a rice in the price of btc it will be very difficult for steem price to rise.

The truth of the matter is, no matter how knowledgeable we are or think we are in the field of crypto we can never predict what makes the price of an asset rises and falls. For me I think the club initiatives have been forced on people without allowing them to decide if that’s what they really want.

Even if many people won’t accept it, what attracted you and I to steemit was the rewards and if we can’t spend those rewards then what use it is being on the platform?
