As you said the price drop is double edged sword not just for you but for Manny of us who powered up steem when the price was really high (I've powered up 200$ at 2.5$), but the price drop won't affect the worth of the posts much or if any at all since the reward pool is pretty much very static and isn't Dependant on steem market price. As a creator, yes it is hard to survive and rely on creating income early on, but the thing is to always keep pushing and moving on, from my standpoint Steemit is a great opportunity for new "creator stars" to be born and that opportunity should be used.
