Hi@jerrybanfield,
What to do to increase the value of steem is a question that requires urgent answer as well as an prompt action. It is very discourating especially to minnows when who may earn a dollar now only to to come back few hours latter to find out that the one dollar no longer one but less. I am looking forward to a stronger steem and a better steemit community. Keep steeming and sharing friend.
