Thanks for sharing the perspective. To turn a blind eye on the dwindling interest and falling activities on the platform will be foolish. You are right to point out the situation so that more people are aware and will probably think about how they can help the community.
Personally, I am still bullish about what this platform can become. There is more utility for STEEM after HF20 as you need to spend resource credits to interact with the platform. Although normal users like us probably won't need to purchase more STEEM, application/bots developers will certainly need the SP to be able to interact with the blockchain meaningfully and allow users to sign up for their applications.
Since signing up for an account no longer require STEEM delegation, I am anticipating that many of those apps integrated with the Steem platform will start their sign up process. I am hoping this will bring in a large inflow of new users.
In addition, I believe these many of these apps will be self-funded or externally funded. This will mean that these apps will be bringing in external funds to the ecosystem, thereby boosting the price.
